First attempt at Daaj. Umberhulks can tunnel walls in 1 turn, and hit to confuse, just like they should. They also aggrevate ;)

The biggest problem is the slow pseudo. The class seems to be designed to be a warrior-type, so.. I can haz fast pseudo please?

That beholder was a master strategic and 20 levels ood and emptied my Staff of Teleportation as soon as he appeared. He then continued to kill me but left the killing blow to some random unique monster.

A beholder on dl17? yikes! Were you in a vault?
Umber hulk is definetly a novelty race/class. Checking now, it looks like I forgot to give that class the flag which makes psuedo ID get faster with level gains. will be fixed in next release.

Yup that was inside a vault :)

Well this one is looking a lot better already. Started with less cons and 18 base dex instead for two blows with the starting club. I'm tunneling a lot more too for treasure.

Found a Weapon of Randomness, that has some nice stats including Telepathy, but it also earthquakes, so it's mostly used as a switch for now.
Also found several Ego rings of Eragion. I assume there are other ego types as well? So am I expected to ID every ring of protection looking for that Ring of Protection of uberego?

The game crashed once when I killed a vyrm or something like that, haven't met one of those since. I also think I returned from -1 speed back to +1 speed the second I identified a flail. But that might have been me imagining things

Ah one more thing. When I was still using a blessed weapon, the description of the Nazgul Sling said that it was in conflict with it. Does that have any effect, or is it just flavour?

I tried to switch weapons to v) a multi-chained flail of Frost (1d13/1d9) (+9,+4)

Turns out that one creates earthquakes as well?!? Description said I sometimes hit myself, but nothing about earthquakes?!?

There are three types of ego rings: Warfare (to-hit & to-dam bonuses) and two types of Eregion egos, one with a random resist and one with a random power.

Umber hulks can cause earthquakes with any weapon they use. They have serious drawbacks as well as being overpowered fighters. Try a different race/class unless you want a novelty game.

Some magic items have an alignment. Good-aligned items give minor bonuses to prayers and bad-aligned items give minor bonuses to black magic (for necromancer and assassin). For the most part, the alignments have very little effect for the other classes except that if you are wielding multiple items of conflicting alignments, then you occationally will get confused for a few turns without warning.

Could you tell me more about what happened when it crashed? I won't be able to find the bug with that little information.

On 5.9.2009 10:56 Matthias wrote:
Nah, I like novelity, but argh if there's one thing I hate it is earthquakes. If it depends on weapon weight just like the of earthquake power then the other weapons were just too light for me to notice the quakes. Guess I'll be using a heavy weapon for battle and a light one near vaults

When it crashed I had just recalled to the dungeon, the first monster was a N:269:vyrm that I killed in one round. The game crashed the same turn.
I've been testing Unangband a lot last year, so I've learned to save a lot, several times during a level, but in that instance the last save was in town so I couldn't reproduce. I'll send you a savefile if I crash again in a reproducable situation

The game keeps crashing at an increasing rate, and always when attacking monsters.

Res Base covered

On 11.9.2009 03:13 Matthias wrote:
Hmm there is something strange/annoying about those earthquakes when fighting stronger monsters. For some reason it almost only quakes on the killing attack, but not on the attack rounds before that. Just now I was fighting a Bild Wyrm for 6 rounds. No earthquakes for rounds 1-5, then it died and dropped 3 status potions and then it earthquaked and destroyed them because potions have a 80% chance to get destroyed even when they land on uneffected grids. Gah :)

I just had to check the code and noticed the chance for earthquake is a lot higher than in vanilla too. Why that change?
This change is really on the wrong side of the difficulty vs. annoyance scale, and I feel the only reason that I haven't suicided this character yet is because earthquakes are my greatest pet peeve so I kind of want to fight it. I'll finish it the current way, but for any Hulks coming after me I really hope you can change something about it..
The only solution for now seems to be finishing off high reward targets with the bow..

Equipmentwise it doesn't look too bad. Could use a better weapon, but I'm stuck with the current one till I get telepathy from somewhere else anyways

I really like the feature about ID scrolls having a chance to not get used up. I assume it depends on saving throw... Xerina preserves them a lot more than this guy. You said you fixed the pseudo-ID flag for this class, but I assume I'm still out of luck as it increases on level up right?

In V the IMPACT flag (which the hulk has) causes an earthquake 100% of the time as long as the damage is at least 50 and never if the damage is less.
In DJA, if the damage is above 40 (before critical hit damage) then it has a 65% chance of causing an earthquake. Lower damage breakpoint, but less likely to cause an earthquake if the damage is high enough. Maybe I'll make it 50%, but probably not less than that. I'm surprised you had 5 rounds in a row with no quake. You must have been doing less than 40 damage some of those times.

The thing about potions breaking in an earthquake even in unaffected grids I thought added realism, since even in unaffected grids, there'd be shaking & falling rocks, but I wasn't thinking about the poor quake-inducing umber hulks when I put that in. Ah well, they're uber-tough fighters and have constant confusion attack, Rconf, & easy digging so it's alright for them to have drawbacks..

The chance for an ID scroll not to get used up has nothing to do with saving throw, but it is affected by your luck rating. The only way to see your exact luck rating is with a potion of self knowledge, but looking at the self-knowledge in the knowledge menu will give you some idea of your luck.

The PSEUDO_ID_IMPROV flag works retroactively so that your character should have better pseudo ID already now that the hulk class has that flag.

PS: Just so you know, earthquakes no longer affect vaults, and you can't cause earthquakes while in a vault, so your stat potions dropped by monsters should be safe while inside a vault.

I played some more against strong creatures paying extra attention to mid fight earthquakes and there were indeed earthquakes all over the place, so I was likely just imagining things there.
As for your 65% check, If I read the code correctly, then earthquake is cast outside of the while(numblows) loop, casting it once if (k above50 && 65%) becomes true for at least one blow. So for anyone doing more than two blows, that 66% check becomes a much worse check and might as well not be there.

Also very interesting, since both Str Bonus and Brands make quakes more likely, but object damage bonus doesn't, I now actually prefer light weapons with multiple blows over the heavy ones I'm supposed to prefer :)

You're right about the earthquake blows code. I think I'll move the 65% check to outside of the while loop.

Walking towards the endgame. Elessar and Magi Helm{ESP} offer some options to change the weapon but I'm just not finding anything better than that thingy from dlvl15 or so.

Had a tough fight with ungoliant who surprised me with a mana storm just when the battle was about to get boring. Ah well, I survived while the spider fell and dropped a *healing* for my slow growing morgy resources collection

@will --
you probably want that earthquake to trigger before the monster dies, so that his drop isn't affected. I'd do this by triggering the quake when the blow occurs, prior to monster damage. (Then don't allow any more quakes after the first one.)

You can also do it by just not quaking if the monster died.

I shuffled my equipment around to support ESP, res disenchantment and 6 blows with my Acid Branded Axe and took Sauron down. I didn't need any major heal in the fight, he didn't really cast too many spells. He also didn't drop too many items that weren't autosquelched.

The result is that I'm stuck with no really useful weapon for the Morgy fight. I identified all weapons 3d5 and higher and never found anything interesting. The best randart was 2d6 + 8 or something like that.

I want to finish this with level 48, so I'll make one more run to 99. If nothing interesting drops... well I guess 6 blows with the SoS should beat 7 blows with the Sauron killer or the Random thingy. On the other hand, I've used the Random thing for 80dlvls, might aswell use it for the last fight.

Thanks to will_asher I noticed the ? command to buy out shops, so buying out shops I did. Spent 50k on the temple for ccw, about 100k on the potionshop for enchanting scrolls and the other 700k went to the sword guy, who sold both a battleaxe and a bastard sword of slay evil. The bastard sword had hold life, but the battleaxe did somewhat higher damage. Too bad that all equipment reshuffeling in the world wouldn't give me both +20 speed and 6 blows with it, so I used the bastard sword.

With the most epic Morgy weapon ever I buffed up, including a Mushroom of fast attacks for +1 blows, and approached his Morgyness. Just like Sauron, and some other spell casters, somewhere between Vanilla09 and this Version Morgy seemed to have forgotten the effectivness of using offensive spells while in Meele range to the player. I had to take one Manastorm the entire battle. Summons? Yeah he loved his Dragons. I also teleported away the Tarasque (twice), Ancalagon and several other baddies I had to keep alive.

Used 3 ?banish, 1?mass_babish, 4 *destruction*, one *heal*, two heal and about 35 ccw.

The biggest problem was that I once again entered the battle with a full stomach and was gorged during it several times.

Morgy dropped his Hammer and his Helm... twice?!?
