[Announce] Poschengband 3.0.0 Released

[Thraalbee]

Personally I was long sceptic due to the total mismatch of legends and lore but after the previous comp I realized that while that was certainly true, I also found it a very well balanced game in the way that although you grow powerful fast (which I like), quests and dungeons scale very well in difficulties and offer a reasonably large set of choices which are also clearly visible through the overview map and ^Q keypress. Also important, unlinke Unangband which is also nice in many similar aspects, PosCheng is very stable. Then another compo and I'm reminded that I should play this version!

[EDIT] And your regular char dumps certainly works as marketing for this variant [END EDIT]

Lately, I noticed a surge in the number playing PosChengband. What brings everyone to playing this variant nowadays? This variant is now the next popular variant after Sil.

I would love to give this a try, but until there's a Mac version that plays with Mavericks, I'm kind of stuck...

Still giving my mauler playtime now and then:

Really tough decisions on deep dlvl kit options, though. I want 30+ speed, antimagic, retribution, immunities, and better damage but there just aren't enough slots to go around.

I just found The One Ring. ugh what to do?! Risk the AFC? So tempting!

I'm keen to try out PosChengband but the website won't load from where I am (currently, North-East China).

Could someone email it to me? erobjt@hotmail.com

Cheers!

My first ladder post! Not sure what I should work on next. I have been hanging out on Lvl 30-33ish of the Lonely Mountain and the Mountain just looking for stat potions and stuff. Any tips? I cant seem to find any better weapons.

Found a bug: If you play without artifacts, you can't complete the 'Sting' quest, as he isn't generated.

Bug with shieldmasters

You cant attack with shields. "You have no melee attack", you also can't check your melee damage in the character screen.

Ok, this is not bug, just my inexperience. You need clvl 10 before you can start using your shield for damage....

Also: What happened to that shop that was used to compare weapons?! I can't find it anywhere in PosChengband 3.0.5!!

Does the Ambidextrous trait for humans/Demigods give any advantage if you already maxed out your Duel Wielding skill?

AFAIK: If you already maxed out dual wielding, there is no extra advantage for taking Ambidextrous.
