Doesn't that kind of fuck up the story quests?

nope, important NPC's are immortal

So I can walk into the mage capital, and drown both of the archmages?

The most difficult branch: Tomb, by far. The Greater mummies are OP as all fuck. Torment can quickly reduce you to less than 1/2 hp and there are also death curses when you kill them. And the entrance to Tomb 3 is ridiculous. A horde of mummies of all kinds, managed to do it with stair dancing and copious amount of TSO cleansing flame.

All in all, it became kinda easy when Ive got level 27, converted to TSO and made my +9 Executioner Axe into Holy Weapon. And TSO itself is really great for melee characters, I would say even too good for the extended late game. There is absolutly no reason to stick with Trog/Okawaru after you've got the weapon gifts you need.

TSO gives you so much for the late game. The cleansing flame is amazing AOE ability that you can spam like there is no tomorrow. And when it kills demons/undead TSO will give you HP/MP back so this shit actually was healing my characters while I stood inside a group of demons.
The Angels/Deavas that TSO give you are also very nice and helpfull, and they last long. He also gives you N+++ at max piety and the Divine Shield is like +16SH at max Piety. And works with 2h weapons without a problem.

All in all, it was my first run in which I managed to visit every branch, Hells, pandemonium and multiple visits to Abyss included. Later on, I visited Abyss just to grind for piety for TSO and for potions of cure corruption.

Since in 0.18 the amulet of resist mutation is no more, mutations are a bigger problem. at one point I had like 9 bad mutations on my character. And the game generated like 5 potions of cure corruption in all.

 

[desocupado]

What the fuck, they removed the amulet of resist mutation? Seriously? How do you deal with fire orbs now?

All this Crawl talk makes me want to go back to the old addiction. But I lost COUNTLESS hours to this damn game, hours I could be doing something productive. And I'm pretty sure it was a great contributor to the damage I done to my wrists (they're fucked and I need physiotherapy now).

How do you deal with the slime branch?

You enter it usually after you cleared most of the game. You need an amulet of resist corrosion to resist the acid damage, highly enchanted equipment or artifacts (they're not affected by corrosion, although with changes in .16 and .17, I'm not sure how that shit works anymore), cold resistance, RC++ (one type of slime deals crazy cold damage), and ideally, you open wide corridors with the dig spell, or a wand of digging, to avoid getting burned by the walls. I think clarity is recommended as well, otherwise kill any enemy that can confuse you ASAP.

The final level is tough as fuck, but remember that the royal jelly doesn't regenerate (if them fuckers didn't change it)

From personal experience, I really recommend a wand of teleportation and teleport control if you got it. There'll be times when you'll be surrounded, and it might be necessary to teleport multiple times to wear the royal jelly down.

EDIT: checking the wiki, great orb of eyes can paralyse you. High magic resistance reduces the chance of that, and stasis avoids it entirely, but you'll want to keep your resist corrosion amulet instead of changing it for stasis, so just target great orb of eyes first, they're fairly frail to a high level character. Also, I think one enemy there can mutate you (shinning eye), so rMut might be necessary, but usually just target those first and have a potion of cure mutation just in case. If there's more than one of them, flee, or change to the rMut amulet and take the acid damage.

There is no teleport control anymore since 0.17.

And I have no idea how you deal with mutations. I mean, the only way is either playing some species that cant mutate or hope for a good numer of cure mutation potions since amulet is no more in 0.18. My char had at least 1 bad mutation ever since Ive visited Slime Pits. Ive waited until Ive acquired a few more and then gulped one of my cure mutation potions. But as you can see, I still ended with a fair set of mutations.

Its a weird change in 0.18, maybe they will reverse it before it will be made public.

So I can walk into the mage capital, and drown both of the archmages?

It works in Las Hope, Shatur, Derth, Elvala.

Well, it finally happened, my first 15 runes win! Now I can die a happy man!

Infra Arcana is pretty fun, but are there any texture packs for it?

Well, there is this:

But it just leads to the game's own site.

Infra Arcana comes with an option for graphics.

Infra Arcana Update and now this?

Sil 1.3

Headline features:

• Early monsters have been redone to be more flavourful
• New Mac version (cocoa) which should run on more systems
• Leaping made much easier to get

Full Changelist:

Spoiler

- Sil 1.3

- broke savefile compatibility
- sorry about this
- it needs to happen every now and then and I schedule it for the 1.X.0 releases

- monsters
- large changes to the early game monsters
- many new monsters
- replaced many of the more generic early monsters as many players had requested
- a few changes to some later game monsters
- stopped the Orc warrior "chain charging"
- it used to be that swapping with another orc counted as movement, setting up a charge
- it no longer does (in line with how the player abilities work)
- also anything that makes them skip a turn interrupts their charging
- (such as when they become aware of you)
- Gave Boldog resistance to fear (from his spear)

- new mac version
- replaced the old Carbon version with a Cocoa version
- the old version was really out of date and wouldn't compile or run on recent systems
- this should also remove some stubborn old bugs (see bugfixes)
- this version isn’t perfect (e.g. some minor problems with displaying text)
- but it does allow Sil to run on all new systems

- objects
- horns
- no longer require a will check to use
- this is because they all require a will check to have an effect anyway

- abilities
- made Leaping easier to acquire
- it no longer has a pre-requisite
- it now acts as a pre-requisite to Sprinting
- Channelling now halves the voice cost for blowing horns

- smithing
- now allows artefact rings to have bonuses to attack, evasion, and protection
- (since there are regular rings with these)
- removed the ability to add Grace to artefact cloaks
- (just a minor nerf to the extreme +Grace smiths)

- tunnelling
- attempting to tunnel but failing now takes a turn if you are confused
- otherwise control-dir in a corridor would effectively overcome confusion

- bugfixes
- stopped Great Cold-Drakes and Scatha the Worm having radius 40 light (!)
- fixed the 'could not find a vault at 100ft depth' bug
- control-t no longer aims successfully for throwing while confused
- smithing gloves of treachery now correctly forces a <-1> penalty to strength
- now correctly displays 'cut' status on the first turn on a new dungeon level
- fixed a bug where channeling's +5 bonus didn't apply to horns of force
- hopefully fixed various bugs with the Mac version
- crash on startup
- requiring admin password sometimes when opening saved games

How do you deal with the slime branch?

You enter it usually after you cleared most of the game. You need an amulet of resist corrosion to resist the acid damage, highly enchanted equipment or artifacts (they're not affected by corrosion, although with changes in .16 and .17, I'm not sure how that shit works anymore), cold resistance, RC++ (one type of slime deals crazy cold damage), and ideally, you open wide corridors with the dig spell, or a wand of digging, to avoid getting burned by the walls. I think clarity is recommended as well, otherwise kill any enemy that can confuse you ASAP.

The final level is tough as fuck, but remember that the royal jelly doesn't regenerate (if them fuckers didn't change it)

From personal experience, I really recommend a wand of teleportation and teleport control if you got it. There'll be times when you'll be surrounded, and it might be necessary to teleport multiple times to wear the royal jelly down.

EDIT: checking the wiki, great orb of eyes can paralyse you. High magic resistance reduces the chance of that, and stasis avoids it entirely, but you'll want to keep your resist corrosion amulet instead of changing it for stasis, so just target great orb of eyes first, they're fairly frail to a high level character. Also, I think one enemy there can mutate you (shinning eye), so rMut might be necessary, but usually just target those first and have a potion of cure mutation just in case. If there's more than one of them, flee, or change to the rMut amulet and take the acid damage.

Not knowing what game you were referencing, I just realized that the guide you just wrote could apply to any generic RPG/adventure game ever, well done.

 

[Serus]

No it doesn't - are you drunk Renegen or just trolling ? How many games have: acid damage, amulets or resist corrosion, version 0.16 and 0.17, resistances coded XR+(+)(+), digging spells, confusion spells, mutations, etc... etc... etc...
Well i guess if you look for those features specifically more than a few of roguelikes have several of those things included but certainly not any or even most or even the minority of "generic rpg/adventure" games ever... Hell, i'd love to live in a world where a generic rpg game has all those (abreviations of versions and resists excluded) but it is not the case at all. So i'll repeat my question. Are you drunk, a troll, simply not excessively smart or some combination of the three answers at once ?

 

[TOME]

I found this Finnish survival RPG called UnReal World. I have played a couple hours and crafting seems very interesting. It has cool graphics combined with occasional sounds and musics.

[Merlkir]

URW is great. You can eat people.

 

[Zdzisiu]

URW is great. You can eat people Njerpez.

Fixed!

Also, the game is going to get a substantial update in the near future so you should keep an eye on its website.

Also also, the game have been in developement since 1992 and the dude is still working on it on a regular basis, now more than ever with the steam release comming. Thats the anti-vapourware if Ive ever seen one.

 

[CptMace]

Probably been already talked out but i'm too lazy to search through the dozens pages, why isn't dungeon of the endless in the list ? Too far from the proper definition of a rogue-like ?
I freaking love this game.

 

[Malignant Manor]

It looks inspired by Ultima 6. They outright stole the bag, cauldron, knife, meat, and shovel sprites from it (and that is only going by one screenshot). I wonder what other things they have purloined.

Unreal world is not really like Ultima. Maybe they took the sprites, but it seems just as likely that basic-ass sprites all look similar. Those possibly copied sprites look pretty generic to me.

 

[Malignant Manor]

I meant the graphical design. They did copy the sprites. Sometimes they changed a few pixels, but they are clearly taken from Ultima 6. The ones on the left are from U6.

 

[Stabwound]

Anyone play Caves of Qud? I never got around to checking it out when it was in heavy development years ago, then it went into stasis and I gave up on it. Now it's on Steam early access and they put out weekly updates, so it's all good. The new updates do cost the $10 entry fee on steam though.

I've barely dug into it so I'm missing a lot so far, but it's a big open randomly generated world that I think is going for the Dward Fortress adventure mode type of thing.

There's a shit ton of characters you can play and mutations you can have. You start as either a True Man (human) or a mutated human, where you can pick a bunch of mutations and go from there. I'm playing dudes with 4 legs and 4 arms who can spit poison gas, but I'm sure that's not ideal. They do have weekly challenges built in that have a set character build and world gen which seems fun but it's beyond me at this point.

I'm not 100% sold on the setting so far. It's not strictly fantasy, but it's supposed to be some sort of alternate-reality earth. I do hate names like "Fzyyzyyywyz" and shit. The active currency is fresh water and it's a struggle to always have a supply.

Unlike most of my roguelike playing, I'm trying to go relatively spoiler free with it. But it's pretty great, there are a ton of factions and you have reputation with all of them and random artifacts, a big skill tree and dialogue trees, and you can use anything from clubs and axes to guns and grenades.

Also has a cool tileset:

URW is getting a huge facelift anyway, so it doesn't really matter:

Anyone play Caves of Qud?

I do, on a semi-regular basis. Actually found out about it in this very thread here. It's refreshing. Kinda wacky at times, but it's part of its charm. Keeps getting better every Friday so far. I heartily recommend it.

And without further ado...

Embers of Rage will be available on the 23rd February of the year 2016!
http://te4.org/blogs/darkgod/2016/02/embers-rage-release-date

What is inside ?
So many things! If you think a whole new campaign is great wait until you learn that you get 3 new races to play the campaign with:

• the Orcs (obviously!), fighting for the very survival of their race; the Kruk pride is all that is left
• the Yetis, well kinda! An orc mind in a powerful yeti's body!
• the Whitehooves, of which I will only say the name

What would be a Tales of Maj'Eyal expansion without new classes? Good thing you'll also get 3 new classes:

All of which are part of the Tinker metaclass:

• learn to maw down your foes as a Sawbutcher, dual wielding steam-powered saws to bring hot steamy mayhem to your foes!
• become a master Gunslinger, filling your foes with bullets fired by your steam-powered guns; be elusive, be evasive, fire away and be awesome!
• merge machine and mind with the Psyshot, of which I will not speak any more

But what would be a good tinker without items to improve and craft ? Nothing!

All tinker classes (and all other classes can learn) start with the ability to craft powerful items to improve their equipment. Do you need to run fast? strap Rocket Boots to your shoes! Do you need a quick heal? Inject a Healing Salve directly into your bloodstream! Do you love fire and flames? Strap an Incendiary Groove to your weapon!

There are over 70 crafts to choose and use.
