SirJuggles:
So I was gonna necro the old thread for this game, but I realized it's more than a year old and guess what bitches THERE'S BEEN LIKE 4 VERSION UPDATES SINCE THEN.



So we're up to version 0.7.whatever now, and things have come a long way since you bastards first introduced me to this time-sucker of a game. The tile version is much improved, we've got new classes and gods and all kinds of crazy shit up in here.

For those of you who don't know, the original thread is over here, wherein Trollstormur gives some good advice for new players. We also have the official wiki for the game, which has proven to be an invaluable help when I want to know who the hell Erica is and why my character is now in three burning, poisoned pieces scattered around the room.

Some of the features in the new version are pretty cool. The arena mode is fun to play around with (royal jelly v royal jelly LET THE GAMES BEGIN). But what I've become addicted to is the new Dungeon Sprint mode, an ascended mod wherein you are put into a pre-made, 1-level dungeon and everything is turned up to 11. I almost named this thread FUCKING POLAR BEARS because the Keep of Menkaure level hates me.

Alex C:
I've been playing the shit out of this again, but my last death was pretty discouraging. I had a pretty studly naga wizard that was set up to go the distance but he got shafted, literally. Didn't even have time to try even a quarter of his escape tactics.

Scandanavian War Machine:
Oh yeah, 7 is the shit. The new tiles look awesome, espescially the enemies.

Also, Demonspawn are much more fun to play now that they sort of overhauled how their mutations work. Demonspawn has always been my race of choice and 7 did nothing to discourage that.

I'll admit I've never been very good at this game, and most of the time I'll get smited by an orc priest or something around level 4. Last night though, I booted up a Troll Berserker and GOOD LORD do those things rape. Going berserk is pretty much the Master Key to any problem, and later on Trog lets you bring in "Brothers in Arms" which are usually giant raging two-headed trolls so ef-yeah.

Also, I happened to have one of the greatest moments ever happen with that Troll (no screenshot because Print Screen doesn't seem to like the new version). Basically I turned a corner into a room with a little cluster of some orcs, a hound zombie, and this Named human named Joseph who started shooting exploding sling bullets at me. Thinking quick, I decided to try out my new Wand of Enslavement to see if I could distract them while I closed the distance. Thing is, the same turn that I enslaved the hound zombie, Joseph took another shot with his explodey-bullets. But he had been standing with this cluster of enemies on the other side of the room, and that zombie happened to be directly in his line of fire:


--- Code: ---The hound zombie is charmed, this wand has 6 charges left.
Joseph shoots an exploding sling bullet.
The exploding sling bullet hits your hound zombie.
The exploding sling bullet explodes!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulf your hound zombie.
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc.
The orc dies!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc warrior.
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc.
The orc dies!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs Joseph
--- End code ---
