O #'tnam of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear my cry

I was having another awesome game of IVAN, and during my workout routine, instead of advancing from like level 19 to 20 with my troll hide cloak, I happened to advance from level 19 (or 18? don'caer) to level fcuking 64.

It resulted in some more damage, for a troll hide cloak alright, but the increased amount of succesful blocks is what made this, I suppose, bug, particularly useful. Note the gap between the points required for the next level, and the few points I gained in a totally legit way.

See for Yourself
Well I assume that a bolt has a given, numeric, amouunt of perwer. (assi in enegri)... unless it's LAERSER SKISKLS POEWN PEWN!

Right accustomization to 64? My, haven't seen that before! But that level hop is a well known bug.

I've never heard of this "level hop" you speak of.

I've heard of this. As I recall it was put in by the devs to test something or another, and then they forgot to take it back out.

"It is dangerous to go ice fishing in the summer" springs to mind.

On topic: I think i've had this happen once, with a shield or scroll or something.
System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.

The devs just didn't code in any levels between 19 and 64, so as soon as you hit level 20 you jump straight to 64 instead.

However, in a game like IVAN, you should really be thankful for it.

Does tht make the enemies more powerful ? Is this just for "uncategorized" or for all categories?
