If you're strong enough to lift the Iron Crown you should be allowed to wear it. Pump up that Heavy Armor Use!

[Infinitum]

Remove Greatswords (and Gretaxes) from the game - they are not historically accurate for the european iron and early mediaval ages, and always having the option to carry a shield with any given weapon leaves some extra decisions in the players hands.

[BlueFish]

False floors should be more prevalent and more difficult to find. Worms should be more common and should start reproducing immediately when the player enters the level. There should be fewer ways to remove and detect curses, and more cursed items.

Eh. I'm gonna remove false floors from my game. Fundamentally there's little to nothing there strategically, it's just a die roll. (I know, "invest in perception, or walk around with Song of Freedom". I get it.) I figure smiths have enough disadvantages already when they have to leave a level. This just levels the playing field a bit.

And unlike removing monsters from the game, you don't lose experience for removing a trap type.

Edit: Hmm. It may not be possible to remove false floors via edit files.

New song: HYAAAAAH!

Sing it for 3 turns (it reduces your speed by 75% while doing so), and on the fourth turn, you attack all enemies around you for double damage.

You are aware that this is not even possible in Sil? (There is only 1 2 3 4 speed. Default being 2)

Possibility to collect and redeploy traps against enemies.

Corollary: Give Morgoth heavy armour use.

Why not give Morgoth every ability there is?

What thread do you think we're in?

[locus]

If you're trying to pry a Sil and you miss the crown entirely, you might hit one of the Sils instead and break it. Most dangerous when wielding Angrist, since the Sils probably have quite a high protection value.

[locus]

Alternatively, allow the player to intentionally break a Sil and release the light inside, for an effect equivalent to activating a staff of light and a staff of majesty simultaneously.

How about this for a bad idea. Rewrite the entire game (any variant) line by line in javascript and make it a browser game. Well, actually it's a good idea. The bad idea is hoping to finish it in one lifetime

The recipe for dark bread should be in the manual.
