I've been wondering: if it takes you longer to raise a particular stat, does it also take you longer for it to drop? In other words, is there a single value for when your stat gets raised (when the value increases) or when it drops (when the value decreases), or are the dropping/raising values stored separately?

I guess this could be checked, with agility easiest (first running around and then sitting around), but I don't really have the time right now...

Also, if I may throw in one more question: Does using weapons such as whip of thievery or Turox change your alignment, or do their effects just depend on how close you are to an associated god?

Also, as an unrelated bonus:



Kids these days...

That's what is called a bones level

But hey, if it had good equipment, it could probably count. As for me, I remember finding a broken Mjolak and a helmet of brilliance in the UT. Seriously, one item I would love to find at the beginning of the game would be a strongbox...

I've found two minor peculiarities recently:

1. Dulcis can give you limbs of... Enner Beast flesh. Thanks a lot.
2. Gods can upgrade limb materials. I had Silva (IIRC) give me a nymph hair leg, and then replace it with troll hide, and then again with ommel hair. Never knew gods could do that with existing limbs.

Lenin's mummy is carried by Ivan, going with his communism obsession theme.


Interesting, considering that the first intuitive thing to do with firstborn children is sacrificing them...

Didn't try cloning yet, but one Enner Beast is hilarious enough. It took me some tries to get my unconscious 3 HP limbless friend to do what I wanted him to, but it worked in the end - throwing a banana peel at the guy pissed him off, and when he woke up, he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

And nobody cares. The "betrayed" team is neither considered your ally, or the city's enemy.

Basically, you have a limbless crawling Enner Beast killing off most of the population and nobody gives a damn. It's not as practical as it may sound, because unless you plan to kill off the whole city then, you still can't take any of the items, and Petrus and some of his more powerful friends are mostly unhurt.

Still, it's pretty hilarious (and well do-able outside of WM!):





Oh, and by the way, my character died killed by a frog's magic in the dark level. Is there any way to protect yourself from teleporting away your stuff? Grrrrrr.

Edit: You can clone corpses and resurrect several Enners. However, as someone once noted and tested, they kill each other with their screams. Still, if you carried the corpses far away from one another to various parts of the map, it may work...

(next logical step: try killing named baddies using Enner spawning... Elpuri+Enner on one level?)



Wizard mode, but still cool, no?

Hmmm, on that topic, if your betrayed allies destroy something, does it count as if you did it? I mean, if I turned the Enner Beast hostile, would I be responsible if he broke something?

I did what somebody once suggested, ie. brought a corpse of Enner Beast to Attnam and resurrected it there, in normal gameplay (outside of wizard mode).

The main problem is that Enner got resurrected friendly, but thankfully, also unconscious. I don't know if he pisses the whole city off and gets me killed once he starts screaming, because I instantly legged it back into the dungeon and left the unconscious bugger there

But I made a failsafe save, and I intend to copy it and go back to Attnam to check how's he doing once my character legitimately dies. Stay tuned!



(I don't carry any equipment - aside from an inventory light source and a wand of resurrection - because the corpse weighs a bit)

Actually, you can just kick it out.

If Steven Spielberg ever makes an IVAN movie, I hope he includes the scene where the protagonist runs around the village, dropping banana peels in front of the elder, in an attempt to get him killed to steal his book.

As for your strategy guide - never tried the magic with the troll hide cloak, but does it really work... and how does it prevent agility from dropping? Fighting/blocking doesn't really increase agility, does it?

Or sacrificing to Mortifer, I'm guessing.

They're a good way of getting a book of Silva from killing the elder. Better than going to UT4 anyway...
