Competition 142

[Derakon]

XP for first monster of every type killed - nothing for subsequent kills. So optimise score basically by killing as many different types of monster as possible.

Is this the XP value of the monster as in monster.txt, or is it the actual experience received? I ask because the latter value depends on the character's level at the time.

(Not that this matters personally, as I don't have the time to commit to the competition this time around, but I'm curious)

Indeed, and it's the latter. So you get more score for killing hard stuff early.

Competition 142 is now officially over. No game winners, but congratulations to Moya2 for getting by far the closest. Also a dishonourable mention to me for managing to get my two best characters killed in exactly the same way.

If it's any consolation, I was SO p***ed off with Mim I made a HT warrior in v3.5 purely to hunt Mim down. I found Thorin on dlvl29, which made the experience all the more sweet!
