Well, the stealth game still works okay when I can make myself run away (take the stairs!) as soon as I'm spotted. Except at the end when I was chugging a Miruvor or two every step, between Carcharoth and the Balrog... yikes.

Congratulations on the win! Sounds like an exciting escape.

Did you find that Vanish never worked for you? Or do you mean more that it sometimes wasn't enough? If the former there may be a problem.

Do you happen to remember which Balrogs you ran into, and how those encounters turned out? As they're relatively new to the game we're still trying to make sure we have the balance right.

On 6.9.2012 21:29 jdh@people.homeip.net wrote:
No, Vanish actually worked surprisingly well once I took it (I think I had 15+ Stealth at that point -- I was reluctant to take it earlier because of the change weakening it). I'm talking more about the early game -- perhaps the first 12 floors or so -- where I have to run back to the stairs repeatedly to survive.

I think I ran into a green Balrog in a dark room, but managed to avoid getting his attention.

Vallach (pretty sure that's it -- yellow one) showed up frequently, once in a vault, at least once during the escape, and at the Gates a turn after I came up the stairs! I tried to shoot him down the corridor when he was in the vault, but he moved too quickly for me to do much damage. (Probably 21 or 22 Archery at that point.) I don't think I got him to less than 50% health before he was next to me and I had to run away. Somehow I managed to Vanish at that point, perhaps because some werewolves got mixed into the chase so he lost his place -- I think it would have been impossible otherwise, since there's no way to move faster than him.

At the gates Vallach came up a turn after I did and started chasing me. Not much I could do at that point besides run. He disarmed me and also managed to do 20 damage in one fire attack despite my fire resistance, which is a bit scary since Carcharoth was on the other side bringing me to Poison 100+! Possibly Will - Critical Resistance - would have helped, but I didn't think of that until after.

In this game I saw a lot more monsters come up or down the stairs shortly after I did than I'm used to in Sil games. In one case a vampire (or vampire lord?) came down the stairs the same turn I did, which I didn't know could even happen.

On 6.9.2012 21:54 jdh@people.homeip.net wrote:
Further thoughts: Vallach disarmed me of a Longsword of the Feanorians; perhaps without that and Aranruth in my inventory (which I should have dropped once I decided to go with Lorien, except I figured I could handle whatever showed up anyway) I would have had more breathing space. I had both since before Morgoth's hall, though, and the closest encounter I had was Drauglin and his pack coming down a corridor.

At the Gates I probably would have died if I hadn't been spoiled by previous games to know where to go. In 1.0.2 it was almost always Lungorthin who followed me up, but I usually got to the first corner before he did, or in my other game on the ladder scared him back down repeatedly via Majesty. (That was rather funny to see. He went up and down at least two or three times.)

As far as other balrogs: I heard Lungorthin via Listen somewhere and put Gothmog to sleep in Morgoth's hall. Presumably Gothmog was also present in his vault, but I didn't go in far enough to see.

Poison greater than 100 is impressive! Your two danger items were making all monsters occur as if they were generated 100 ft deeper, which would have made quite a difference. I'd have dropped one or both, but I can't argue with success.

On 7.9.2012 13:01 jdh@people.homeip.net wrote:
Aren't they all (or mostly) generated quite deep during the escape, though? I would have thought that it wouldn't make much difference at that point. From what you say (or don't say), it sounds like they shouldn't have been generated any more frequently, so Vallach following me up the stairs to the Gates so quickly was nothing I had control over (unless I had managed to kill him elsewhere).

On 8.9.2012 12:54 half wrote:
You are right about Vallach. When fleeing, half the monsters are generated as from 1,000ft deep (with the standard mini distribution, so 1,100 ft to 900 ft). Vallach is a 1,000 ft monster, so would be most common in the escape if you *didn't* have danger. Danger would make Lungorthin more common though, and two sources of it would make Gothmog, Ungoliant etc possible.
