The vomit tactic I was referring to involves vomiting at the spot where Huang Ming Pong stands and waiting for his legs to dissolve before challenging him. Is that tactic still valid on this version? And do I have enough gold to buy enough food for this?

Oh and I was going to say, don't carry explosives.

These journeys are great!
I think this still works. You need way more gold to keep buying food at the shop. Get to Attnam with heaps of loot and sell stuff at the shop there to get loads more gold.
Leave crafting out of your 5x n00b run for now, it *might* result in a crash.
Dunno, wield anything you can. Your axe is pretty good for now. I'd swap the shield for a lighter one if possible. Switch to better gear once you find it.
Dunno what the current status is now, but I've always thought of them as permanent. I like scars because SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.

I see a forge and an anvil, which are used for crafting. How does crafting work, and when do you use that?

Which is better, a weapon and a shield, or dual wielding two weapons?
Is it better to wield a broken shield with higher AV, or an intact shield with lesser av?

And finally, how do you remove torso scars? Potions of healing? Potions of troll blood? Or do I need to go to someone for this?

they can help keep your HP below certain critical thresholds.

I recommend you try both IVAN 0.50
for the so-called vanilla experience, and the latest community built update, IVAN 0.57.

Exciting! I think 4zb4 was keen to do some art, but I haven't seen him around for a while.

EDIT: Nevermind. I tried to extract some poison from a dead spider and the game crashed.
I haven't used the crafting system tbh. I think as a feature it is sufficiently hermetically sealed off from the rest of the code to ensure stability, but use it at your own risk.

After some time and more hobby programming, I got myself in the Linux world (Debian distro) and learned so much in so little time (what is a CWD, getting used to the console, non IDE deving (VIM + manual compilation), make files libraries and so much more!)
This is fantastic, by the way ^.^

Re: poisoned weapons, we have snakes and spiders already
It'd be cool to wield a snake.

After finding a rogue semicolon in the item datafile in a newly minted IVAN build, a half-hour game of whack-a-

IVAN 0.57 is out. I'd better go eat a banana...
