Palantir now fixed in dev versions.
Traps should be more reasonable now too. The maximum trap power (which gets subtracted from raw disarm skill to get a chance of success) is now 115; before this fix it was upwards of 16000. Luckily there is a lower bound on success chance, so one in fifty times the disarm would have worked

Hello! How about to make trees "diggable" in Nan Dungortheb? It is pretty difficult to play as a mage without being able to use a ranged attack haha. I don't think it's right but I would like the discussion to beginAurë entuluva!Comment

Why not burn them down?Comment

At the moment, there is no way to burn them with a fireball (I play last version).
But if we had such feature..
There is a question of balance. If the feature arises, what about other classes? Mages have the ability to cast fireballs, but what about warriors, archers? Of course, there are wands, rods...Non mages should dig then with their own hands!
There is something to think about, hmmAurë entuluva!Comment

Bug: Note that the descriptions for lines in the txt files should be cleaned up. For example: Class.txt in the description lines at the beginning:
replace “# skill-disarm:base:increment” with
# skill-disarm-phys:base:increment
# skill-disarm-magic:base:increment
and their associated full-blown descriptions that follow. same for #hitdie:increment, etc.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Bug: Description in Recall spells, and I assume items as well though I didn't check. Takes @ to the chosen recall point, not necessarily to the deepest level of the dungeon reached thus far.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Hey Nick, I haven't played FAangband, but I would suggest adding a description (brief or detailed) of how it differs from vanilla in the README, on http://nickmcconnell.github.io/FAangband/ , or on http://angband.oook.cz/faangband/ . You put a nice writeup on Roguebasin ( http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php/First_Age_Angband ), but it's from way back when you created the page in 2006, so I wonder how well it reflects the game today.Comment

Thanks for all the reports and suggestions. I have filed a couple of bugs.
I think I want to leave Nan Dungortheb as is - it's meant to be horrible. Note, though, that elves and druids/rangers (and especially elven druids/rangers) get easier tree movement, so some characters will not mind it.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Just played through this to completion as a warrior, here's the dump.
Great variant, moving around the greater map through the different outdoor areas is really cool. Too bad 90% of the game is still in the regular dungeon. Would be better the other way around IMO.
I only noticed a couple of bugs, one is that items sometimes say they were found in the Arena. The other is that town building locations reroll every time you visit the town.
Also no quest on level 99 but I assume that's deliberate.
Going to play through again as a spellcaster I think.
Is the idea to move fully to Tolkein lore? As I noticed there's still lots of D&D monsters and stuff.Comment

Enjoying FAangband again! Happy to see the new release.
I am having problems with moving house to Gondolin though. This is the second character that fails to enter Gondolin after initiating the house move. Game crashes instead.

This is a known bug, fixed shortly after 2.0.0 came out. I really should release 2.0.1 with it fixed. If you play the latest release from here the problem should not happen.
I had a feeling the town-changing thing was a fixed bug too, but can't find a reference to it; I can't reproduce it in the latest release, though, so maybe it's fixed?
Items found in the arena is interesting, where were they actually found? Any other details?
As for more time in wilderness and closer to Tolkien lore, I do have another project (Beleriand) on the go which I will hopefully be able to say something about soon.One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

Request for Android
It could be possible in FA and V (center_player on) to have the player always in the center of the screen, even when the character is near the edges of the dungeon? I mean, drawing a blank pad outside the edges.
This is a difficult request, but a lot of action happens at the edges, where the android port has the input widgets.Comment
