Haven't been on rephial lately, so I don't know if this is actually new... but I love the gameplay synopsis on the home page! Yay for advertising
I think my favorite new feature in 3.5 is the inclusion of Dubtrain's sound pack by default... the old sounds might have been fine in like 1993 or so, but nowadays they're just horrendous! :P
Oh, hey, just noticed something again that's always irked me about the description of the birth_no_stairs option... it says it "never" generates staircases back, but wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it never generates them *on the tile you start on*? Like, you can still find additional staircases back, can't you? It's not ironman...
Also, the screen seems rather flickery when browsing spells in tiles mode...
It's kind of confusing, too, that you can use the arrow keys in shops to select items, but what item you have selected is irrelevant... well, I guess it can be useful for folks with wide screens to keep the various rows in line, so they don't get confused about which item costs/weighs what...
Sorry for all the questions and stuff, but I haven't played Angband in a while! So what's it mean when a weapon says "with additional +8str and +0dex you would attack a bit faster"? It seems to be some sort of prerequisite for getting +0.1 blows? Does this mean you have +0.05 blows or something, so you have a 50% chance to get +0.1 blows?
Oh, hey, idea! It would be nice to put yellow squares or something around all monsters in tiles mode. Some of them look kind of like items! :P
Is there any reason you have to manually toggle the descriptions when browsing spells? Why not have them on by default?
