Re: How does armor work?

My heavy armour character often receive 1 damage, which makes me believe it gives some kind of flat reduction with 1 as a minimum. This would most likely favour heavy hitters instead of dual wielding as you suggested. I haven't been able to get my evade high enough to make a real difference yet.

Re: How to play Farmer?

I've got a level 13 farmer now. She turned level 4 while my other characters were still level 1, but I am a bit more careful now since I ran out of food afterwards... I haven't had any problems keeping the farmer as leveled as the others, but I still don't feel like it makes up for the lack of trait...

Re: Pyramid of Umas

You'll have to refresh my memory, haha. Do you mean the one where the warp particles are moving in a straight line along solid ground and pitfalls, then repeating the same line? If you mean the other warping puzzle: Got to use the teleport on top of the trap and then remove a weight through the bar...

Re: Pyramid of Umas

So you're saying we should use the same method we used to get into the tomb to find the second tomb key? I've tried that on pretty much everything and I'm still stuck :-( I wonder if it makes any difference which key hole we use the first key on. I noticed there is a button on the wall on the Tomb o...

Re: Bane

SpoilerShow
I simply ran out of the dungeon and was able to get out without getting hit by any of the fire elementals. Afterwards I took them down one by one. It seems like they just suicide into you, so the only thing that helped seemed to be fire resistance/high HP.

Re: Fighter's Challenge Strategies!! Level 6 to 5 secret

For me (on hard) I did like this: -Have 3 party members die instantaneously -Fight my way to a corner with my unarmed rogue character -Hit and hit and hit some more while my rogue hardly get damaged -Drink a few potions when they eventually hit him -Hit some more -Brew a few more potions -Drink some...

Re: Tricks and tips

Overall I feel that axes are better than maces (assuming you find them all). The bottom line is that + strength is more useful on your fighter than + vitality. Most of the dungeons are laid out so that you can strafe to evade or use terrain (including doors) to avoid hits. Anyone know how much of a...

Re: Oh why spiders, oh why?

The best to worst normal battle tactics (not counting trapping enemies and things like that) is basically as follows: 1. 2x2 moving and fighting 2. Moving backwards and fighting 3. Running around multiple mobs in a big room while fighting 4. Get in an alcove facing a single mob 5. Stand in a corner ...

Re: The Mage-less Party?

One thing to note is that there are some areas where you will have problems defending your back row, and they might die right away. My rogue with 50 in unarmed skill is by far the most reliable character I have. Even on hard, there hasn't been any encounter so far (dungeon level 10) where he hasn't ...

Re: Anyone for english?

Did you know that Toorum was not a native English speaker?

On a more serious note though, it could be nice to make a list of language issues to fix, but I think the English is overall pretty decent in the game.
