As I get time, I'm going to start tinkering with the old code of zangband, about 2.74 or so. I realize there's several forks already from zangband, but to me all have added too much to it, to where it's just not the same.
To start with, I'm going to rebalance the classes (and add 3 new ones, essentially more specialized versions of the ranger, rogue, and priest), the spell realms (and add a 5th book to each realm while reorganizing the others), and lightly modify the races and monsters.
This will be my first attempt at modifying an angband, so it'll take time to dig through the code see what does what. Thinking once I get this first stage done, I can look at further modifications.
If anyone has suggestions or ideas for my project, let me know. Or if there's ways you can assist with me digging through the code. I realize there's been many, many updates of angband and other versions which have made zangband obsolete, but it's still my favorite version.
