You killed Petrus before going through the portal?
Yeah i set a pile of like 400 explosive items on top of some octiron beartraps. he didnt stand a chance.
I am not taking on the mage room - i plan on sprinting through the levels using detect material and teleport.
Is the mage room even viable? Ive tried it once or twice in wizmode and it was total chaos.
Booooooooooo!

Maybe if you had enough wands and a lot of luck. The majority of my experience with mages is getting zapped to death before I see them, or not having the means to attack them from afar.
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.

i got through the first to levels of the lower GC, but on the third level was the mage room. I was using my scroll of detect matrial to search for granite for the staircase but i dont see it on the map - does the material change later on?
Booooooooooo!

The third level past the portal should be GC12, which means that you should be looking for the golden portal to Oree's lair. I remember my first time through the portal I panicked and just detected the staircases while teleporting across the levels. Once I got there I had no idea what to search for (I'd seen the portal in wizmode but forgot what it was made of), so I ended up just teleporting randomly until I ended up in the big room that the portal is in.

According to the readme file, score is based only on kills, with multipliers for each ending (fun fact, quitting with 'Q' gives you a 0.75 score multiplier).
Also, one of the /doc/ files mentions that golems give way too much score, so make sure to clear out the golem room!
Q: How is score calculated? A: First the kills of the player and his pets are merged to a single list. Then for every monster type, the score is calculated with the following formula Score = sqrt(a) * b * b sqrt(a) = Square root of the number of killed monsters of this type b = Sum of the attributes of a typical monster of this type The individual scores of the monster types are then added together. You also get a high bonus for winning, depending on your victory type (the score is multiplied by 2, 3, 4 or 5).

Pent's right, score only depends on the kills you got on the way, including those of your pets.
The code for the score calculation is confusing me, but it looks like you get points based on the monster's danger rating rather than the individual type of monster. Then again, each monster type is probably going to have its own danger rating to begin with.
Here's the relevant code anyway, in case anyone else who is more capable of thinking today than me can make more sense of it:
Looks like you could potentially get more points from say, a Kobold that managed to increase its danger rating by finding some really neat equipment compared to your regular balsa spear Kobold?

{
double Counter = 0;
massacremap::const_iterator i;
massacremap SumMap = PlayerMassacreMap;
for(i = PetMassacreMap.begin(); i != PetMassacreMap.end(); ++i)
{
killdata& KillData = SumMap[i->first];
KillData.Amount += i->second.Amount;
KillData.DangerSum += i->second.DangerSum;
}
for(i = SumMap.begin(); i != SumMap.end(); ++i)
{
character* Char = protocontainer<character>::GetProto(i->first.Type)->Spawn(i->first.Config);
int SumOfAttributes = Char->GetSumOfAttributes();
Counter += sqrt(i->second.DangerSum / DEFAULT_GENERATION_DANGER) * SumOfAttributes * SumOfAttributes;
delete Char;
}
return long(0.01 * Counter);

I'm also beyond rational thought at this point, so instead of trying to make sense of the code I went into wizmode and summoned some kobolds. Each time I killed one kobold and let Sherry kill me, and I always ended up with 37 score, even on the kobolds that I gave better weapons/stats to.
Also this line from the readme says that it's based off of a typical monster of the given type, which my test supports:

I should have waited and summoned/killed some golems before sitting on the throne. Ill post some pictures tonight. I was life saved twice. GC 10-12 and Oree were NASTY. My final score was still only like 75k despite getting a high priest ending.
Question, if you are standing on a staircase, break a wand of door creation creating a surrounding wall of closed doors - will nearby monsters still follow you down the stairs?

Not if they can't see you, no.
creating stable chaos
making patterns where there should be none
sewing order into the chaos
you spit in the face of random numbers, of chaos

About the wisdom, I think I wrote a pretty comprehensive post hers ago about a talking your way to 50 int/wisdom. I thnk I talked about natural ability too. Different characters train different stats at different rates. Some just aren't that wise.
I have cleared the Mage room once. Meleed with twin turox I think. Natural limbs and probably around 200 hp. I think if your intelligence or danger gets too high they are just too powerful. There is a sweet spot. It's the fact that the use electricity and fireballs that makes them so hard.
