#DUNGEON CRAWL STONE SOUP MAX STRENGTH UPDATE#

Only leave your weapon skill on long enough to get to minimum weapon delay-this is skill 14 for a sabre, skill 8 for a quickblade, you can check the knowledge bots for other weapons and the formula if you're interested levels past that give you a small but not-really-worth-the-experience damage boost. Turn off Fighting early on since the benefits are very small at low character level since it scales off of your total maxHP turn it back on in the midgame when the cost per level is small and you have enough HP to notice the gains. (You get better results from some micromanagement, so if you want the complication: but if you want to keep it simple you can literally just turn off everything but Fighting, Dodging, and your weapon skill on turn 1 and then not touch your skills for the rest of the game unless you max out all three of those skills. Shields, Evocations, a ranged skill-either Throwing or Slings-Stealth, and Stabbing are decent skills also depending on what you find. Your weapon skill, Fighting, and Dodging are all you really need to train as a KoBe.Īrmour in particular is a bad skill to train since you have bad aptitudes and since you're a small race you get a natural EV bonus that gets multiplied by Dodging-so you want light armour, which means that Armour skill does little other than suck up exp. Remember, Trog hates spell magic (i.e from spellbooks, he doesn't mind wands and scrolls and potions and such), so just ignore that.Ĭrate contributed a really good post going into a little more detail on how he plays his KoBe. You want to save your Enchant Weapon scrolls for such a sabre. These summons cost piety so if you spam them too hard Trog will stop giving you access to them, and he'll give you less stuff.Īt some point, Trog will start giving you buttloads of weapons of varying quality. If berserk isn't enough, Trog will grant you sick as shit summons a little bit later on, also available from the 'a' menu. Before battles, go berserk by pressing 'a' twice. If you are already engorged, 'p'ray instead to sacrifice to Trog, your bloodthirsty beserker god. But'c'her and 'e'at every single non-green (poisonous) corpse you get. Wield nothing but short blades all game, sabre is best. Even better, I hope to inspire new players to take on this fantastic game. I hope this thread can coax out a few Crawling TLers, and maybe we can trade war stories, hilarious deaths and more with each other.

That way you can play the in-development Trunk version, and get all the updates without having to constantly update your game.įor spoilers, consult the omniscient knowledge bots at either the aforementioned website, or by irc in #crawl at Freenode. I can highly recommend playing online by ssh'ing to. Interested? Visit the fine establishment at CDO to find out more. Some of the coolest magic in any game ever

High difficulty and permadeath (as the genre prescribes) A large pantheon of very different gods to further differentiate your characters A metric buttload of races and backgrounds Notable (read: awesome) features include: Along the way, you will face many dangers ranging from gangs of orcs to the wrath of the divine. The object of the game is to dive into a massive dungeon complex and retrieve the Orb of Zot. It's under active development, and in my humble opinion the best roguelike available to play today. #1 I know there's a very old Roguelike thread that talks about this, but since it deals with roguelikes generally, and since nobody will ever see it, I think (hope) I can make a new thread about DCSS.ĭCSS is a fork of the ancient and legendary Linley's Dungeon Crawl game.
