stone soup

[Greep]

Kick-butt rogue-like game. Too lazy to link to it if you wanna find out what it is, but "stone soup rogue" should do it.

There isn't an official forums anywhere, so I figured I'd start one here. It is also very much this forum's taste in games.

Does anyone know what "base attack delay" is? I'm guessing it's initiative, but I don't know. Also, does anyone know if a god's wrath becomes worse if you leave after being with them for a while? Trog is a great starting god for a dwarf, but he's not so good later in the game, and I'm wondering if he's gonna throw worse than hill giants and rot at me like he did when I left him at level 5 or so.

Newsgroup has lots of Crawl and Stone Soup discussion. It has some spam and also discusses other roguelikes, but posts with -SS- or -Crawl- in the title are easy to find.

I haven't played Crawl in a while, and it seems Stone Soup has kept on improving. I'll have to try it again.


For new players - Dungeon Crawl, both vanilla and Stone Soup addition, is a violent game, with a certain, lethal fairness. If a big monster comes and kills you dead BAM! like that, you're dead, but I've never died because I didn't know that I would have to wear a spesific amulet to protect myself from the special attack of this strange new monster I never saw before. Besides, you can poison that Ogre and run around and away and hope you don't run into other enemies before the ogre is dead, or decides to run away.

Also, losing IS fun. You can't abuse the system much, and you aren't rewarded for doing boring stuff. You won't increase your skills if you lock yourself to a room and never leave. Most of the time, impeding hunger provides reason to move forward. Most of the time, when you move forward you find something interesting. Sometimes, interesting things kill you, but it's still fun, because you got farther and learned not to trust orange statues.

You may want to start with a Trog-worshipping berserker, pray to Trog before killing stuff (he likes that) and before dissecting and mutilating their corpses (he likes that too) and before going downstairs (he doesn't mind a prayer, and there could be a surprised sacrifice-to-be standing next to the stairs).
If you're dying, drink healing potions, or potions from the stack you have most of. Potions of healing and potions of heal wounds are common. Alternatively, run away if you're fast. Alternatively, read scrolls of teleportation or scrolls from the stack you have most of. Alternatively, go berserk and kill everyone else first.
To avoid dying, try to have full hitpoints. To have full hitpoints, rest (shift+5). To have enough food to rest, wait until a prayer stops before dissecting a corpse.

Crawl is an excellent game that doesn't need spoilers to win, just hints. You don't need to plug your ears with beeswax in case there's a Banshee in the level. :( Since there are lots of helpful little hints, I spoilered the rest to not take too much space.

Few hints: you can dissect and cut down most enemy corpses. You can eat most things except kobols. If you're Hungry, eat a corpse. If you don't have a corpse, find something to kill. If you become Hungry!, eat the real food. Unlike many other roguelikes, it doesn't really matter what you eat - eating a dragon won't make you fire-resistant. I've read you could make its hide into an armor with a scroll of enchant armor, though...

You can't sell in shops. Unlike many other roguelikes, you can ignore the useless stuff. You won't get anything from it any way. If you like that type of play, you can worship a god who likes item sacrifices, like Nemelex.

Weapons, cloaks etc without descriptive keywords aren't usually magical. "Runed dagger" can be a +1,+0 dagger, a +2,+3 flaming dagger or a -2,-1 cursed dagger. When you wield a weapon, you'll notice some of its abilities. If you hit things with a weapon long enough, you'll learn its bonuses to attack and damage (+2 to both in a +2,+2 dagger).

Scrolls are either good (identify), bad (immolation) or neither (random uselessness). They can't be blessed to increase their effect on all your items, and there's no scroll for "identify everything I'm carrying", so you'll have to try using things and reading scrolls and drinking potions. It's better to read from a stack of three scrolls, because if it fails because you didn't have a weapon you can equip one and so find out what it was.

When you have unused experience in your exp pool, and you do stuff, you become better in that stuff. If you want to learn spellcasting, read scrolls of noise and random uselessness etc. If you have no free exp., a skill won't increase even if you spam it.

Pick up darts, rocks, anything you can find, and throw them at enemies to soften them up. Hold Ctrl and press direction to disarm traps. You automatically search for secret doors and traps when you move and/or wait.

Different races have different aptitudes to learning different skills. Look at the manual, or use Google to find nice tables. You don't need it until you want to get serious, because Minotaurs like big weapons and unarmed combat (horns, yeah!) and don't like spellcasting, and that's simple enough.

I've been playing on and off for a couple years now.

Early on I had food issues, like three chars starving to death. So I played a lot of mummies. While I never starved they had a couple of drawbacks, they're massively fragile and they can't drink healing potions. And may Yemmy help you if something decides to find out if you're flammable (you are). After that I went with trolls for a while.

Troll beserkers are really easy to play, pretty good too. No problems with food, if you're hungry just kill something and rip it apart. Instant food! If you're not hungry you pray to Trog before ripping and keep god happy. Unfortunately if you encounter a problem you can't solve with brute force (multiple orc priests or centaurs) you're pwned. Death by magic, poison, and ranged stuff is common.

I tried ghoul chaos knights worshipping Xom for a while. That was... random. You rot, and that makes you interesting to Xom, so there's a good chance for Xom to give you stuff. You also eat anything and can still drink potions. the spontaneous friendly demon infestations were fun too, they just never happened at a good time.

For a time I just went with random combos. That produced interesting results and twigged me to the spriggans, they're fast and don't eat much. I'm now playing spriggan casters. Enchanters are really easy, you're naturally inclined to short blades and stabbing which go really well with the spell Enscrolled Hibernation. Transmuters are nice too, Evaporate is the poor man's mephitic cloud. Biggest problem is finding books, surviving until the store shows up is a long and dangerous trial. Of course then you have to pay for the books.

Sif Muna sounds like a good god for a caster, and he's alright. But I find the E-Healer to be better for me most of the time, sacrificing weapons and praying while fleeing in exchange for healing ability. I'm considering Zin for his whole 'feed the starving' ethos, but I'm unsure of the need for more healing or more food past the 15-20 range.

Hint: Gas Spores will still explode even if you're invisible, levitating, fast, and you try to run past on the diagonal. You can't slip by, you have to risk taking a hit to blast the spore.

[Greep]

yeah crawl is awesome, I just wish they gave better newbie advice for those who want the spoilers. I gave up on the game a while ago from starvation issues, only recently getting back into it. Now that I got a good idea of the game, though, I can almost beat it with easy builds, and so I'm really getting into it again. Dying of starvation/ogre/sigmund/not-realizing-dungeon-branches-are much-worse-than-the-dungeon 30 times in a row as a newbie, though? Not fun.

Also, for those starving to death, chop up *everything* and keep it in your inventory until you're hungry so you can eat it. Only works for the strong... but if you're a new player you should be playing a fighter-type anyways.

Also, I found out by trial my initial question. Gods don't give worse punishment to higher level characters, whoo! But it turns out nemelex Xobeh is worthless until you've cleared out both the vault AND the elven halls. Holy CRAP he demands a lot of sacrifice just to get triple draw!

[loopy]

I have sent at least 300 minotaur beserkers to their deaths in the last year alone. Its always around level 15 that they end up dying. Still can't figure out wh- OH GOD ANOTHER STEAM DRAG...*ROAR*

*hacking cough*

*silence*

[Greep]

pffft screw minotaurs... mountain dwarves rock! Admittedly, you're restricted to axes and wands for offense till level 15 or so, but even still 65>70 ;) Well no it isn't.. but you know what I mean :D

Btw, does anyone know how valuable something has to be to get a raise in piety from Nemelex Xobeh? I'd rather not have to go through the whole dungeon saccing things once I switch.

[Lord Herman]

Nifty! Another roguelike to waste endless hours on! :smallbiggrin:

Real men play Xom.

[Lord Herman]

Argh! My paladin just got killed by the ghost of my orc fighter, who in turn was killed by the ghost of my minotaur!

[Greep]

yeah ghosts are a pain. Make a berserker and they drop pretty fast, though ;) otherwise you pretty much have to run to a stairwell every time you see one, don't bother getting into melee first.

And Xom.. lol. I plan on beating the game at least once, then I'll do Xom.

How's about we make a playground high score list? Just add your characters to the list and remove anything after 10th place.

By the way, does anyone know how to access the high score list without, you know, dying?

[factotum]

By the way, does anyone know how to access the high score list without, you know, dying?

There's a file called "logfile" (no extension) in the "saves" folder that seems to contain that information.

[Greep]

High score eh? why not take it a step further and show our text documents for our best? :D here's my best guy so far:

Edit: Today saw the deaths of Bork the Orc, Spork the Orc, Fork the Orc, Gork the Orc, Mork the Orc, Cork the Orc, and Pork the Orc. I guess I'll have to find another race/class combination to play when I run out of names that rhyme with 'orc'.

Also, a piece of advice - drinking mutation potions like they're orange juice is not a good idea. Still, the poison immunity was nice. The fact that I could no longer wear armour was not.

Another edit: With York the Orc and Dork the Orc dead, I guess it's time to play a dwarf or something.

[Greep]

a new "best" of mine.

Bum. You know, I was so far into that char, I should've just gotten an easier rune, I might've finally beaten the game if I didn't decide to up and go into an unknown dungeon branch.

Anyways, here goes:

But yeah, you should just go berserkers until you get the hang of the game. Really, you run into sigmund on level 2? No prob, just 'zerk :D They start to wane at the end game cause all they get as god gifts are axes and a rage ability that you get with common items... but they are THE newbie class and getting used to them will get you very deep into the dungeon. Just don't enter a tough area "hungry", and always back into explored territory after a zerk while you're slowed. And pray for an amulet of resist slowing :D

But yeah, a newbie guide for dungeon branches:

Orc- pre-req 20 armor class basically
Elven halls-don't bother until you're level 20.
Lair-easy until you hit hydras at about level 4, then back out till you get more experience.
Vaults-switch rings of protection to whatever giant/dragon you're facing. and get that gold dragon hide and enchant it!
Hive-a little harder than orc if you got poison resistance, much harder otherwise.

Everything else... you shouldn't even think about entering unless you wanna die. The dungeon itself is actual pretty easy from levels 10-20, getting there is pretty tough for a newbie, though ;)

Nooo! Lolwut the troll berserker just died! :smallfrown:

Apparently, that combination works really well. He was an unstoppable killing machine when raging, although he needed a LOT of food to survive. Unfortunately, a huge mob of monsters caught Lolwut just when his rage had ended, and some stupid iguana got in a lucky shot that killed him.

Btw, it's best to use [code] tags to show character readouts. It preserves the layout, and it comes with its own scroll bars!


Edit: Also, it it just me or is Trog (the god, not the barkeep) dumb as a brick? I mean, it's nice that he wants to give me gifts because I kill stuff, but honestly, what is a troll berserker going to do with an enchanted bow or a magical rapier?

Hmm... you can use a ranged weapon in melee, can't you? Maybe Lolwut would have fared better if he had honoured Trog by bashing his enemies' heads in with that bow.

[Greep]

ah, yeah, that's why troll berserkers are worse than dwarves in the very long run ;) trog, unlike okawaru, only gives weapon gifts. No good if you're unarmed ;) Also, there's "stat death" which you don't need to worry about till maybe level 15, but if a stat drops to 0, you die, so the bonus "more strength and less int" of trolls starts to drop when you end up having to put points into int anyways.

Pretty nice mutations, though :D I wouldn't push your luck more than you have to with them, though, there are some fairly nasty ones out there. E.g. "teleportitis" got my big character killed because controlled teleports don't work in certain levels, so I randomly teleported into literally 40 mummys. There's also fast metabolism, which doesn't matter for trolls or ghouls, but it can make you starve to death very easily.

Of course, if you've got 5 potions of cure mutation handy, muck about as much as you can :D

[Lord Herman]

Yes, I decided to just drink all the mutation potions I could find, with interesting effects. Luckily, most of the effects where either beneficial or penalties to things that don't matter to a berserker anyway.

Oh, and I have a new best:

A mighty warrior of chaos. Killed by a bee.

What actually happened was that I had just descended to level 12 of the dungeon. The area looked pretty clear, so I looked into the nearest tunnel, which split into three different corridors. There was an ogre in one corridor, a two-headed ogre in the second, and a horde of orcs in the third. So I pull back into the room with the stairs, firing Makhleb's Greater Destructions into the horde while keeping any baddies from getting past me and flanking me. Suddenly, these skeletal warriors come into view. Those things are lethal! And while they start whittling down my HPs to a measly dozen, some orcs manage to sneak (or possibly teleport?) behind me.

That's when I decided to use a teleportation scroll. Which teleported me right into the middle of a swarm of giant killer bees. And as if that wasn't enough, there was also a cyclops and an eye of draining in the room. The results were messy.

ugh I'm pissed :( New lesson of stone soup: don't end a levitate spell over deep water.
