Re: Characters You Have Never Used

I've always thought that the CSB characters don't appear as interesting as the DM ones because they have no items to start with. In DM, you were often faced with a choice: Zed's torch, Leyla's rope, Wuuf's flask, Sonja's sword and so forth. I think that's what caused me to try out most of the charac...

Characters You Have Never Used

This is pretty much the same as I posted in the DM forum. Are there any characters you have never used? For me, it's: Talon, Leta, Necro, Lana, Tula, Sting, Slogar, Gnatu, Mantia, Ven and Dema. I think that character selection was always a bit more straightforward in CSB because they don't have obje...

Characters You Have Never Used

It occurred to me when playing a custom dungeon the other week that I had never used Wu Tse before. Are there any characters you have never used after all these years? I only ever used Gando in Conflux II/III and apart from that I don't think I have ever used Elija or Azizi

Re: [RTC] Parallel Universe

Hello everyone! Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed the email. Am glad you have figured it out. This was kind of a test dungeon for myself and RTC - would welcome any criticism (constructive ;-)) Though I'll have to familiarise myself again with it! And check in more often for sure. The si...

There are two locked doors in this area that I haven't ...

Re: Hint Oracle: penalty for use?

Nice to see you too. Unfortunately I only get chance to access these forums every couple of months now. I still have a load of RTC files saved on my hard drive that comprise several attempts at dungeons... one day I might string them all together into some sort of finished product. One day :D

Re: Hint Oracle: penalty for use?

Have you ever played Waxworks? The player carried a crystal ball which was essentially a portable hint oracle. However, each time you used it, your psy stat dropped and if you used it too much, the stat dropped to 0 meaning you couldn't use the crystal ball again until you gained another level of ex...

Re: Eye Of The Beholder 2 - the Red Cleric trap room

Also, if you get a Serpent or fake Beholder to block the door where you first meet Dran (at the end of the riddle room), it will stay open (although that makes no difference because if you need to go back there, one of the mouths will open the door for you anyway)

I played EOB2 when it first came out but I only discovered this last year. It is nice to be able to get the items from that room. You can do something similar in the cleric barracks, there is a room with 4 alcoves and a pressure pad in the middle. You can get treasure from one of the 4 rooms behind ...

Re: Popular characters... and their backstory.

I've never been a fan of Gothmog, he always seemed to run out of food and water really quickly compared to the others. For a party of 4, Leif is mandatory for the front rank paired with Linflas or Daroou. As for the rear rank, two characters I can train as both wizards and priests - Chani and Syra f...

Re: Dungeon Master with one "extreme" Champion

The Maleficent Guild actually have a 1 for everything apart from stamina which is 25, I have just checked. So it might help if you change it. Conflux was made for CSBWin so it might be worth giving it a go with that instead

Chani was always my favourite for solo runs.

If you really want a challenge, use an editor to decrease the champion's stats to 1 (see Conflux II/III Maleficent Guild)

Re: Which way to start with

I usually start with Neta, I don't know why, just seems the easiest.

The boulder...there is a door that opens up a shortcut if you place a boulder on a pad nearby (it will only work with a boulder, other objects won't work). I can't remember exactly where this is.
