Playing the 062 WIP3 version of Unangband. This variant is amazing when it comes to new things per version number.
The archer is the old ranger, minus the magic and with not-so-good melee. Thanks to the new quiver, coating arrows is really useful now. Now all I need is a good xbow
Went the way to weathertop and battled the rider for my first artifact. First I attacked with four bolts of detonation (exploding traps can be disarmed for a potion of detonation, but I've only seen one of those traps so far :( ) then I switched to a combination of light and acid coated bolts until the rider gave up.
The scyring back was dropped by beorn, as was the bad mushroom one, perfect reward for the current level.
Status increases feel well balanced now. You get to chose the stat to be increased, but not once per level, but about 2 every 2-3 levels, with a big 5 stat increase every 10 levels

Particularly impressed by your boots there. I'm glad to hear stat increases are balanced now - a lot of work has gone into that.
On 4.2.2007 20:58 Bandobras wrote:
A nice char! You are playing a high-exp race, which should really hurt in this variant due to stat increases --- does it hurt enough? BTW, Wood-Elf has twice better starting archery, but the difference is worth only about 3 character levels for this particular class (not counting stat increases).
I think I'll carry on with the adventures of Frodo the Ringbearer soon. :)
On 5.2.2007 04:31 Matthias wrote:
Thanks.. I also really start to like her. I almost won a ranger in the last beta, but he was more or less melee only. This one is pure bolting fun.
Actually it doesn't hurt at all. Exp penalties aren't hurting in any variant imo. The character is stronger and can kill deeper stuff faster, getting exp quicker etc. And at level 30, the stats I want to raise have reached a point where they don't increase a lot anyway.
I didn't look into the character choices enough to even notice the Wood-Elf but the HighElf is usually a save choice to try a class. That and I hate to play without see invisible.
Oh and you should defenitly continue Frodo's Quest!
On 5.2.2007 04:43 Matthias wrote:
Curry continues her quest. Weathertop denied access so the only way to continue was Fort Rivendell guarded by... yet another rider.
I used the same tactics as before, bolts of light to keep him blinded, anything else to wear him down. I seriously cannot image how one is supposed to kill those guardians at that level without falling back to those tricks. Not that I think that falling back to tricks is a bad thing. In the end all that matters is that the dlvl 2700 undead is gone.
3 paths to chose: Caradras (sp?), Isildur and the Gates or Moria. All range from dlvl20-dlvl50. I've been to the first two before, so I went to the Moria Gates. The guardian, should I make it down alive will be the watcher of the water.
Found the bow of Amrod, but it only gives 1 shot so I'll keep my xbow for now.
On 5.2.2007 16:51 Matthias wrote:
On her first dive at gate of Moria, Curry opened a chest of maps that opened even more regions to travel (moria itself, Numenor, Elemental Evil). Travelled to the evil temple for a while until the map got distroyed. I think I'll try my luck at the tower of Isildur next
On 6.2.2007 02:15 Matthias wrote:
Omg bad news. Looks like I've lost Cubragol. No idea when or where it happens, but the Artifat screen shows all 4 Artifats I've found plus 3 I've never seen. Even worse: All three are missile weapons including Cubragol. Worst case scenario lol.
I checked birth options and noticed preserve isn't an option anymore, so I am guessing auto off.
In other news I started climbing Sarumons tower. If I have to guess this is the place where I lost those Arts as I was very selective/carefull up there.
On 6.2.2007 02:58 Matthias wrote:
hmm I tested going up/down and checked skipped 250 levels this way and I still haven't lost any further Artifacts. Compared to the maybe 10-20 levels I skipped while actualy playing that sounds too unlikely.
So if Preserve is actually on, that means I must have ided those bows without noticing them? Maybe by casting detect magic?
On 6.2.2007 11:42 andrewdoull@gmail.com wrote:
Its sounds like a bug. Not too good - we've recently removed the preserve option so this could alternately be a bug as a part of that. You should have random artifiact missle weapons still - hopefully a randart crossbow. I suspect it won't be as powerful as Cubragol. I can offer you a save file hack if required.

I read through your blog and somewhere you said it was possible to block. That sounds like a good thing to do against incoming hiding ghosts that cannot be attacked until they unhide...usually next to the player. So... how to block?!?

Just stay still, do nothing and then you block.

Living with ghosts has become less of an annoyace. Blocking helps, but even more important is my new slayer of choice. 3d7 +21 and slay holy can't ask for much more against those Ghosts.
Reached the top level of the tower in Isengard (note to self: Isildur is my Armor, Isengard is the tower... mustn't confuse the two). I had killed one of feanor's suns earlier, and he was generated alone on that level, so I hoped the same for Sarumon and went up checking.
Level 49 had lesser Ancient dragons, average ghosts and Undead etc. Level50 however offers stuff like Power Wyrms, Aether Wyrms and Black Reavers, all from Level85 or deeper. And we're talking about a very small level with about 20 of those. No way will I ever attack level50 of the tower... Well unless I take that Banishment Staff, banish A, L and whatever is floating around until only Sarumon is left. No sure on that one, but on the other hand I only wanted to kill him for the drop anyway, as I already went that route twice before.
Found a *nice* crown with rbase, poison, blindness, +3 size/str and 10 attack bonus that will have to wait until I can move ESP away from the helm slot. Still no usefull Crossbow.
I've got my map to the Elemental Evil temple back, so I'll check out that one a bit more

Sitenote for anyone else playing (like the competition): Both starting ways offer several possibilies to reach "Rivendell, in autumn". No idea if it is even possible to walk around it. If you have a chance to get there, do it, then try Isengard. The Isengard tower, while potentially *dangerous* seems to be the best way to upgrade your character for the mid game. If you can survive level30+, dragons will start dropping bags regulary enough to get all of the lower ones without problems. They also drop rings and amulets a lot, so those slots will get major upgrades too. Later dragons will drop heavy armor items. The Undead will fill up your inventory with scrolls or books should you need them. Weapons are less common and potions/device are actually rare up there. Level40+ also has early Major Demons, that are *dangerous* for that level as they come in big numbers. Same is true for Hounds. Isengard offers them all up to chaos hounds.
As mentioned this is a dangerous place, especially since it is a *small* level about 1/2 the size of the trap detect area, but if played with care the reward is really worth it.

Wow. Aren't you an overeater! No wonder your weight is so huge.
Talking about weight --- I guess the SIZ/STR bonuses on items need some toning down. However, when you start encountering rings of speed, things should be more interesting once again, even though the rings of speed are now weaker IIRC.
On 8.2.2007 02:52 Matthias wrote:
Telling an elite female archer she was fat is usually not a good idea. Also true for non elite archers. Well, I was running out of waybread because traveling takes food, Isengard drops no food, and Rivendell sells no Waybread. And when it comes to normal bread, 10 bread weight the same as the bag... So I thought I could as will fill it up, you never know o_0
On SIZ/STR: Those are basicly cons rings plus the Str help me getting 5 blows with the 19lb slayer of mine. So from a Vanilla point of view those are only temporary until something better comes up. From the Un point, I'm not all sure I'll even need speed rings. I'm really intrested how speed will evelope. My current +9 is from agi alone, with a lot of room to increase left. We'll see how it goes.
If I find a xbow that is. If not... I did a little spying and just as I though: The Haradrim xbow is <4swords> . 3 Runes Left to find :)

Speaking of elites, how are you finding the powered up monsters? e.g. the monsters with Large, Huge, Giant, Elite, Veteran, Fast, Furious, Deadly etc prefixes in front of them.
Are they too frequent, too rare, too tough, too easy etc?

Is that documented anywhere? I noticed those prexis, and I like the idea. The problem is that I don't know how strong/weak they actually are compared to their normal versions. That's because if, on one level, one monster is of an elite version, they all are.
So for the moment from a playing point each special version is a new creature type for me, that I have to memorize
I think other games with champion type monsters make those rarer, I think that would be the way to go, if it is only one, not all of the level, but that one is actually *stronger*, *faster* than the rest.

Unangband went through quite a radical change for 0.6.2 and stop generating monsters once they are 5 levels too shallow for the depth you are at. However, this creates too small a range of monsters on each level, particularly deeper in the dungeon.
So I added in various prefixes to improve the abilities of lower level monsters to allow them to catch up, using three flags, LEVEL_SPEED, LEVEL_SIZE and LEVEL_POWER.
Each monster with one of these flags appears with a stronger prefix at 5 levels, 10 levels and 15 levels below its maximum depth. Speed monsters get faster, size monsters get more hp and power gets a blend of both. If a monster has 2 or 3 of these flags, they may appear in multiple flavours e.g. a faster version, a stronger version and a more powerful version in a mix on the level. However, they should all be 'equally' tough, based on a monster power algorithm hack.
I could treat these as separate monsters for recall purposes. It'd be fairly hacky though. I'd rather not make them completely separate monsters, as it'd be even more monster madness (Unangband already has too many monsters, arguably).

FYI The actual power curve for all monsters in Unangband is based on the following curve, where 1 power is the maximum strength for a level 1 monster:
Use level as power for levels 1 - 40, then add 3 power for each level up to 70, then add 6 power for each level up to 90, then add 20 power for each level up to 100. This excludes uniques.
So a level 40 monster is 40 times tougher than level 1, level 70 is 160 times tougher, level 90 is 280 times tougher, and level 100 is 480 times tougher.

So they aren't actually champion type, but additional types while keeping the list less complex. That's good but then what about adding champion type monsters? Give each monster a 1% chance to become champion. Champions could have better drops but are difficult to kill for their level. Random bosses so to speak. You could give them stat upgrades as well as random additional resists/attacks compared to the normal version. Or if you want to prevent champion type scumming, you could create them at startup, just like the randarts, then if a monster rolls the 1% dice, and if a champion of that type is still available, change monster into champion.
Have you played Diablo2? This is one of the games that had normal monsters, random bosses, normal bosses and act bosses. With the guardians, Un has all of those minus the random bosses.

Could I have some extra Curry?
Went for the Crystal Castle a bit. Level50 had Wolf chieftains with escort. Blue Ancient dragon escort. Now I could get as many Ancient dragons as I want in Isengard, but I couldn't resist taking those out. 40 Dragons down I reach level 35. After 4 packs I even found Armor with coldImunity, so I only lost 2 heal in the process. The reward is worth it. Another *nice* helm, this time featuring resChaos, telepathy and freeaction among other things.
As a result I could now switch gloves back to of Power for another +5 size.
Turned out +5 size gives an extra 20hp over +2 siz/cons, but the current gloves also give +2 speed thanks to +agil, so they'll stay.
Was also able to upgrade that serpent Amu of mine, to +7. I wonder how high those things can go...
Hmm 12 speed, almost 1000 hp... time to go deeper I guess.
Currently looking for a usefull blunt weapon for those undead-edged-resisters

A dragon breathed Pestilence and produced 4 diseases. 3 of them disappeared on their own, but I fail to heal the last one. Where is a potion of life when you need one. That means I'm playing without regeneration once again until I can get my hands on such a potion. First I'll get myself a regeneration amu though. They are worth 28000 according to value magic and I never understood why. Would suck to give up that Snake amu though.

I have no clue, but even the potion of Water is reported to cure some disease. If you drank 99 such potions wouldn't that help? Frankly I'd like that much more than making anybody with a Phial immune to disease...

Nope wouldn't help. You need the right cure for the right disease. I HAVE the Phial but it currently only weakens the power of the disease, but Andrew already changed that to fully prevent the disease for the next version.
Drinking water would kind of defeat the pupose as even the hardest disease would be cureable almost as once (stand in any water, trink from floor)
I really like the Phial giving resDisease by the way. This doesn't make it an obvious choice! The are laterns of speed, telepathy, +stats, resists all waiting to possibly replace it.

Unfortunately, getting regeneration won't help you heal while you're diseased. On a 'positive' note, you can also use *Healing* on this particular illness, in addition to life. You're at a depth where *Healing* should start to occur, albeit rarely.

That's actually a very good news.
So why is the regen Amu so expensive?

The power rating for regeneration is probably too high. Its pval dependent though; I haven't checked if the pval is being display though.
Wip4a is out, by the way. Plus a debug build.

BTW: Intelligence affects the % chance of your missiles breaking - you may want to pump that up.

The code says not for launcher missiles, only for weapons (thrown and ordinary). But perhaps it's a good idea to change that, though it may overpower archers, but not very likely, since missiles break at once, instead of losing pluses first, as weapons do, so your super-killer bolts will run out, anyway.

After travelling between the different dungeons for a while I realized my bet chance to meet potion droppers would be in Angband, so I went there. Current levels has wizards of the high council or something like that. They can drop potions... among other thing... better than nothing.
One of them dropped: 8 "bottles containing something". I identified them, now the are 8 "bottles containing an enchantress" (~lvl40 mage npc).
So how does an enchantress fit into a bottle? How do I get her out? Do I want to get her out? Can I have the empty bottle if I let her out?

Perhaps she does not fit into a bottle, but does into 8 bottles? ;> A funny bug...unless it's Yet Another UnFeature that needs a help file explanation.
From my reading of the code INT only helps with breakage of non-ammo weapons. So, until the glorious maintainer tweaks that, INT is useless for ammo. Apart of that INT helps with devices, disarming (and trap-setting) and gives a bonus to hit.
You can increase INT or pump points into the high stats --- 220 is no longer the limit. Or perhaps pump CHR that helps you avoid enemy missiles and increases the chance of scaring monsters? Or WIS for saving throw and AC?

That's Combat bonuses, +10 to hit.
Out of sight summonig was dangerous when I had strong melee, now with this character it is just pointless. Had to abandon a medium vault with two unknown potions. And I *tried* to get in, but what am I supposed to do if those summoners keep hiding behind the walls and start summonging stuff? 300 damage darkness Storm stuff ;) It's not like I'll survive walking inside ... At least they summoned some well dropping mages, so I have orcrist and two level ups to show. Also killed an undead beholder in the progress, new deepest kill for this character.
In other negative news, I've reached a depth were about everything resists poison, so the ability to poison brand is more or less useless now, as is my Amu activation. I guess it's time to reconcentrate on arrow coating.

Oh right the Dschi... Enchantress in the bottle. After trying to trink, Activate, use and throwing it I searched for the button to "rub" an item. I couldn't find it so I ended destroying the bottle. That was enough to release her. Indeed only one, but I guess if I had killed only one bottle at a time, I could have freed up to 8 enchantresses.
I killed her the next turn...
Avoiding enemy missiles... I read I have to sidestep the turn before I *think* the missile gets shot?

Re: INT, my mistake - but will implement it that way.
Re: Enchantress. Its only supposed to generate elementals in the bottle - this the 'flask of Apprentice Warrior web' bug report. Its intended so you can use e.g. elementals with auras to soften up groups of monsters. When friendly monsters are implemented, these guys will emerge enraged, and attack *everything*.
Avoiding enemy missiles. You're correct. However, if a monster emerges from terrain, at a distance, its going to use a ranged attack the next turn. So use it in this instance. You can also advance towards something you want to melee on the diagonals to take advantage of this.
Bandobras was referring to the fact a high CHR character has a reduced chance of monsters using ranged attacks at all.

I'm getting teased by the RNG. I was getting more and more frustrated with the no regen, my arrows not hitting anything, no usefull blunt weapon available, annoying open / unconnected / featureful dungeons, and the first usefull xbow drop (hxbow res disenchant) getting burned exactly two turns after getting dropped.
Then I noticed that I was regenerating again. No idea why that is the case. I got rid of the magic mushroom, but not of the disease itself, but even while I now am affected by wit loss, the character is able to regenerate... for now :)
Now getting toHit up, finding a weapon, clearing the dungeon looks a lot more achievable already.

You only stop regenerating when you have no 'blows-type' illnesses. Since the no regeneration is probably worse than any of these, I'll replace it with something else for disease.

... I'm dropping this character i guess. Didn't play for some months. Somewhere in between, I deleted all my *band to keep me from playing. I made sure not delete this savegame though. However the saved file was from when I tested a newer beta which turned out to mess with my randarts. So I continued Curry in the older beta, something I failed to notice when deleting stuff, as I only checked the newest installed savedir. So now I only have a lvl35 version of Curry, with messed up randarts left and I am not bored enough to continue that version of her. Not now at least

Curry revived?!? Andrew fixed a bug from February by basicly telling me there was none, so of course I had to check that old savefile I submited for that bug to prevent missunderstandings. Turns out that old save is actually Curry at her best level and equip, more exp that the last one shown here...
