More broken AI (sorry) Here's two more situations where the AI doesn't work. I can sit in these positions all day and Pazuzu won't do anything except bounce back and forth. I can corner shoot him here with no retaliation (if he had a summon spell I believe there would be, but he doesn't). Hengband's changes went a long way to reduce scummy AI tactics so this is a step back, he should recognise I'm using ranged and change. It's not fun to fight stuff this way!

I guess I play melee characters too much to notice. For me, these AI tactics are much harder! As far as Hengband's AI, it is ridiculously easy for distance casters. I mean, I've pelted the Serpent with Mana Storms 20 times in a row while he just marched towards me doing nothing at all (although a run this long is a bit unusual). Any distance caster with Dimension Door makes the end game a joke. On 3.2.2015 23:57 clouded wrote: True, but Hengband's changes made corner shooting and pillar dancing far more dangerous.

It now also angers monsters (counter rather than flag). If monsters get too angry then you get a guaranteed attack spell as a response! While I'm in here, I'm feeling evil: Hitting monsters with a certain number of consecutive distance attacks now eventually triggers a distance response! So no more long runs picking on poor Nidhogg :( On 4.2.2015 00:46 clouded wrote: I hope there are some good messages for it. You breathe lightning. Nidhogg the Hel-Drake flinches.
