Rand arts, take 2.

I think there will be better balance this time, but again, I get a couple of really nice ones. First is:
The Metal Cap of Achilles [3,+18] (+1) {Dx;DkShDi;RfLu, Thengel}

What's especially nice about Achilles is that it decreases my light radius by 1!

Next, the game decided to roll up Master Tonberry! At DL8!! Well, this is not so impressive, but still good:
The Set of Gauntlets 'Oondenananga' [2,+20] (+1 to searching) {InSr;SoNx;Fa, !! Master Tonberry}

It activates for a whirlwind attack.

Stupid Q got stuck in the walls, and I never saw it again. Well, I never saw it at all, but I could here it moaning about a refill quite a bit, and even managed to stumble into it a dozen or so times. But couldn't kill it. Early SI is extremely rare ...

I'm actually having quite a bit of fun with this mode. I feel like the artifact balance is getting better, so I pushed 0.0.41 in case anybody wants to try it out. Remember though, if you are Lucky, then you will find better stuff!

Having played scores of ninjas, I must confess to almost never using Kawarimi. But, being as weak as this guy is, I am forced to use it against quest monsters. Botei-Building is tough, and you don't want his rocket to cut you down. And Mortis might be worse, with his stat drain. But Kawarimi saved the day, and, I must say, is fantastically powerful.

Zhar is a totally obscene monster! Kawarimi saves the day again, but the two times Zhar attacked (once when Kawarimi failed and once before I realized I *had* to cast it), he dished out a cool 250 or so damage. And me still looking for my first !Con, so hp are ridiculously low. A double move would have squished me.

While The Cloning Pits was doable with low hp, The Old Castle is not. At least, I am too scared to try :) So, I grind for !Con ... sigh.

What do you mean? You mean the randomly generated syllable-based ones as well? Hmm... I can think about it :)
I am still doing the jewelry, and I'll get you the cleaned-up weapons/armor list after a revamp.

By the way, if you're redoing randart generation, let me know if you want any structural changes in the way randart names are organized.

Well, we already have "Nuts of Wisdom" and "of Hentai" and "of Teleporno" and things like that; maybe we've already got it covered :)

Chris, I have one idea. If you're now tying randart strength to Luck and dungeon level, is there still a need for three tiers of power? Variance already makes randarts range hugely in power, and I feel like having a bottom tier just contributes to most randarts being absolute junk. Maybe all randarts could be on the same power band.

Or maybe there could still be "normal" and "elite" randarts, but I think having a "lame" class of randarts is just that :)

Lucky chars now start -3? jeez.

On 18.7.2011 15:19 chris wrote:
Yeah, -3 is tough to overcome ...

Regarding artifacts, the code does not decide to create an elite vs. lame artifact. Rather, it decides how many powers to gain, and even that is a bit misleading since sometimes one power can become several (lots if 1 in X then return otherwise grant extra) and sometimes powers become plusses to hit and damage (I think these are coming out too high at the moment, so I better tone them down ... I tried to make weapons favor slays over resists, and perhaps that is the problem?).

Also, if you are allocating stuff randomly, then its hard to compete with an intentionally designed artifact. I found I had to give rand-art armor a chance of picking up resist base, for instance and I may make other similar changes. Once the art is created, it then scores it, and then decides to pick a name based on this score.

The short of this is that I think you will always get more crap items then awesome ones. The alternative would be to reject artifacts of too low a score, and perhaps make artifacts more rare. But I don't like this because sometimes the scoring will be off, as it takes no account of what the character actually needs! A weapon that picked up slaying, high plusses and slay evil might score lower than a lame dagger with lots of wimpy flags (slay orc, digging, infravision, etc). Also, is a dagger with slay evil worth the same as a mace of disruption?

The tie to Lucky is a weak one. Basically, the code decides how many powers to grant based on dungeon depth. Then, there is this 1 in 12 chance of doubling the number of powers. Lucky characters get an extra bite at this apple should the first roll fail. Meaning 16% of their arts (rather than ~8%) will get the "weird luck" doubling. Of course, if you are doubling a low number, then you don't notice :)

The tie to depth is stronger. I really don't like characters finding end game gear early on, or finding crap during the end game. Having the power of a rand art being totally random is too chaotic for my tastes. Still, getting the balance right will be hard.

Example. This "The Small Sword 'Elusiveness' (4d7) (+6,+7) {|PV}" is worth a million times more than this "The Broken Dagger 'Freezing' (1d1) (+26,+16) (+2) {Dx;Hl|CoV/L}". But the latter might score higher, and both might score below a threshold for rejection. In fact, Elusiveness shows up in w_low.txt. I would rate this as a top tier weapon for a ninja!!

@djabanete: Don't worry about the Sindarian stuff ... I may just drop it unless people like those names and complain. For structuring, I think the way we currently do it is fine. Stuff is scored, a tier is chosen based on this score (low, med, high) and a biased name is chosen in each tier (Arts pick up a bias sometimes during generation, which is why you often see vampirism and poison brands going together, etc). Cursed arts get their own list, and generally don't use biases.

Wow, thanks for the explanation! I enjoyed learning that. Clearly the system already in place is smarter than I gave it credit for.

I thought of a "minimum power requirement" and liked the idea, but I assumed that instead of counting absolute number of powers, it would give each individual power a value and sum the values, rejecting those sums that were too low for the dungeon level. Things like slay evil, vampirism, extra attacks, and telepathy would naturally have high values.

It actually does work that way. But you might not agree with the scoring, so would you rather have the game squelch something usable? Of course, we can try to improve the scoring, but if you really need Shards resistance, you might score that very high while the code might not ...

Here are some examples, where I added the score to the output at the end. For reference, the tiers are:
Low: 0 to 20,000
Med: 20,000 to 45,000
High: 45,000 up

The Blade of Chaos 'Shockbringer' (12d5) (+8,+2) {ElCa|E} (4700)
The Blade of Chaos of Erkenbrando (6d5) (+9,+14) {Ca|AP/P} (24700)
The Blade of Chaos of Logrus (6d5) (+5,+7) (+2) {Ch;Ca|ACa} (34600)
The Blade of Chaos 'Giant Strength' (6d5) (+11,+13) {Ca|ES/DZ} (40900)

Of these 4, I think Shockbringer is the best.

Of course, what I really want is
The Phial 'Altair' (+3 to stealth) {CnSlSr;*Co;AcPoCfSoCaFe;Sd} (298250)

No arguments with that high score :)

Those chaos blades were generated at DL50. Jump to DL90 and you get much higher scores:

The Blade of Chaos of Rage (6d5) (+18,+25) (+3) {StDxCn;FiCa;Lu[M|E/p} (28450)
The Blade of Chaos 'Mana Stone' (12d5) (+12,+19) (+4 to searching)
{StInSr;FiCa|APV/T} (54300)
The Blade of Chaos 'Warrior's Honor' (12d5) (+10,+12) {Ca|S/*pZ} (40000)
The Blade of Chaos of Flame (6d5) (+22,+11) (+4 to searching) {CnSr;Ca|FQ/oP}
(40000)
The Blade of Chaos 'Laplace's Devil' (6d5) (+16,+9) {Ca|M/DoP} (30800)
The Blade of Chaos 'Spiral Wave' (6d5) (+15,+21) (+4) {St;CaFe|EV/XD/U} (48500)

I just snagged the last 6, but you get the idea. So, I think squelching is a good idea if it is accurate, but weighting the artifact creation by depth might work well enough that squelching is no longer necessary.

Anyway, I'll keep squelching in mind as an option.

For fun, here are "Stormbringers" generated at DL1:

The Blade of Chaos of Slay Munchkin (6d5) (+0,+0) {Ca/D~Evil} (17200)

Even here, goodness is possible, but if you saw the complete list of 100 you would laugh :D

If squelching were implemented, I'd say that extra attacks and extra dice were way undervalued.

Makes sense :)
