When creating an RTC dungeon, how and where do I specify each level's experience multiplier?

You don't ;-)

RTC doesn't use experience multipliers, I believe that's an internal attribute from the original DM engine. RTC calculates all experience modificztions on the fly based on your dungeons contents.

without giving too much away can you clarify that a bit? : )

Nope ;-)

darn : )

Hehe.

I thought he said MULTI player.. Now that could be interesting

Andy makes a mental note to learn how to read

Hm. So I have no way of making a designated training area that eases the increase of stats for the players? You're not even willing to give a rough outline what it is that makes levels "more complicated"? Is is just monster numbers, traps, certain items, the presence of Chaos? Ok, I think I know the answer... had to try, though.

its probably a fair assumption that level depth has a weighting factor, so stick a small corner in a deep level...with chaos and a dragon just to be sure : )

The idea was to train the characters, not Chaos...

but he's been very bad! makign a mess all over viborg...he needs to be trained
don't throw fireballs in the mountain!

I guess it will come down to trying it out... making a multiple level-dungeon once with the editor and sticking in various amounts of monsters in each level for starters... and see how many hits are necessary to rise a level from nothing.

not even monsters to start with incase that tips it - just a high mana character and a few simple options, like punch, warcry and light spells

in DM lower levels those can be instant level-ups!

As it's christmas I'll give you a clue, level number (i.e. depth has nothing to do with it). If it had then doing a CSB (where you start in the middle) or DM2 (where you start at the bottom) wouldn't work...

ooh, that's good!
except for the being completely in the dark now bit, of course : )

hmm, the engine just ups the experience modifier every time you go to a fresh level?
*twitch* days of the week?

Ooooh - I like days of the week. Could be interesting ;-)

If you attack screamers on a Tuesday (and when there's a full moon...of course) then you get double the experience you would when fighting a dragon on a Sunday. Stands without reason...

whew, finally a sensible system we can all understand : )
pity i'm away tonight, i could get the 'new years eve x 5 ' bonus

You can still try to get the "First day of the new year and I stood up before noon" bonus, which only applies if the last pit you passed had moss on it's western end...

HNY everybody!

ah, if only, instead i was having to restrain myself from pointing and laughing at a certain person with a certain *cough extreme* levl of alcohol poisoning
