Re: Solo runs with various champions

Wow, I just suggested it half-jokingly as a possible means to do a "Challenge Mode" run of some kind. That's pretty crazy that some people are actually attempting it. But are you gonna do CSB as well? :D

Re: Solo runs with various champions

Maybe you could try adding in some other challenges too, like "no spellcasting" (except essentials, like that one Zokathra, or that bit early on where you have to open a door), or "only use a dagger", or whatever. Might change things up a bit for you?

Re: Bug: Couatls have no attack sound

I think they do in RTC, because I do remember playing a version in which they made an attack sound, and RTC was the first version of DM I found when I fancied playing the game again some time in the early noughties and decided to look online.

Re: Bug: Couatls have no attack sound

I don't remember them having an attack sound even back on the Atari, and since that's the version used by CSBWin, this is presumably accurate?

The Munchkin Muncher...that is, a munchkin who is also a muncher, not someone who munches munchkins. And now I've done that thing where I used a word too much in a short space of time so it no longer looks like a real word (munch) :D.

Re: Solo runs with various champions

My usual run is (reincarnated) Hissssa and Wuuf. Hissssa starts with just enough mana to cast Lo, then after a rest, add Ful to it. So once I go down the stairs to Level Two, I stand there in the dark and refuse to move until the two of them have got the light level maxed between them. It's not so b...

Re: First solo win

I always just assumed that monsters don't know about false walls unless they see you using one, at which point they become aware of it and can follow you. But I hadn't thought about it in terms of actual game mechanics so it's probably nothing quite so complex :D.

Ah yes, solo Tiggy is basically "super hard challenge mode" because she is the squishiest of them all. I've never tried it myself, but certainly people have done it. I suppose it's only harder in the earlier parts of the game, when you're most lacking in hp and stamina. Once you get over t...

I think I pretty much only defeat dragons with melée, at least when it's one of the stronger ones in an area where I have room to dance around it (hitting it in the side before it can turn to face me, then moving around to the next side). For the weaker ones in places like Drag...

Re: I'm done with big main-stream games

So many game developers seem to think you can only get money by constantly charging people for extra stuff, rather than just buying the game once and that's it. Making the game moddable certainly helps. I mean, it's not like there have been any ridiculously popular games like that which have remaine...
