Scaling dungeon difficulty

When importing too strong champions, RTC does a dungeon adjustement.

Is it possible to design a dungeon, where at some progress in the game, the dungeon is made more difficult.
I am afraid not, but there is no risk to ask.

There's no automatic way of doing that. RTC only applies difficulty scaling upon import.

However, you could build a system in the editor that swaps out monsters for stronger versions when the party passes a trigger. That could be quite complex to manage but would give you control of the effect.

Too bad...... a workaround, again

Frustrating, the code is there tought.

Actually, that method would not be difficult to implement, a trigger set to activate a relay, conditional upon the highest level of the party that activates actions that swap out certain monsters for more powerful versions shouldn't be too hard or complicated to set up. There would be 3 basic objects you'd need, the trigger, the conditional relay, and the action "global swap fast". You could then, for example, swap out a beholder for a flying eyeball (similar but more powerful monster) if any party member has a level greater then, say, Expert.

hmmm, I thought when a creature is swapped that they keep their stats like health etc... I am not sure on this, I'd really really like to know that answer.

definition of work around is, more programming, it's all programming.

I presume a creature can be swapped with a clone that has better health and other stats.

Agree it is all programming, wether visual or line.
IMO a work around is a warf on clunky programming. So is a patch.

clunky translates into refined, or plasmic thought pasted to an idea projection under white light.

As far I know, clunky means: cumbersome, awkward, clumsy. Ham fisted.

I like the way clunky sounds, it make me think of an animated armor.

hahaha, those guys are definitely old clunkers...

clunky can also mean, in poor repair, as in a cat that's an old clunker that barely runs.

'The Meaning of Clunky: Discuss' needs its own thread coz this is getting waaay off topic....

You are right eb.
All was said anyway in Gambit' s answer, this thread can be closed.
