    This is even better than the eye strain you gave me when I played FAangband for 20 straight weeks!

    Love you Nick!
    You are on something strange

      I have the same, but inverse, feeling with PWMAngband, no OS binary.

            Don't say I never do anything for you.

            EDIT: Tried playing a bit - killing Smeagol on dl4 with a single rocket felt pretty good.
            Awesome, thanks Nick! Added to the first post as well.

              So, are we going to have a ladder for Rocketband or what ?

                I don't understand the difficulty. How much damage do rockets do? Can't you just kill all the enemies with rockets?

                  Re: ladder, that would require me to modify the dumps to not claim to be Vanilla. Is...is this what it feels like to be a variant maintainer?

                  Anyway, done! And I vandalized the splash screen for good measure. OSX build updated (Same location as before), and we'll just have to give Nick the ol' puppydog-eyes treatment for the Windows build.

                      only if you make like Han Solo and shoot first. But in one episode or another, Greedo will get in the first shot and it's all she wrote.

                              So, when are we having a Rocketband compo? *Looks at Debo*

                                I made a useful change: rocket damage is reduced to 500. The game is much better balanced after this!
