btw, i think that petrus' wife #3 and petrus' wife #7 should join the player if he attacks Petrus. they prolly won't survive long enough, though…

also, it should be possible to give them weapons. let's pretend that nobody notices.

That would be pretty nice.

I think this all just draws values from the default "character" here: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/blob/master/Script/char.dat#L...

Doesn't it?

lol. forgot some checks, so shopkeeper bought half of the shop from himself. he has money, and he is allowed to take shop items… bingo!

I wonder what One-eyed Sam would end up with.

This could be Mellis, the god of money. He already can give you some pocket money, but making him give you much more money, but as a loan, sounds quite interesting.

Yeah, I think this would be an interesting tweak to the way tht Mellis' prayer works. He could give the player a big loan and then slowly take his money back.

i can't even imagine how to catch royal wizard, tbh. detect, telecontrol, teleport and luck, i guess.

Yeah... Same as fighting any high-tier dark mage. Or get an army of pets.

tbh, i simply couldn't find anything else to use as protection, it was a desperate shot. because i think sirens are way too overpowered without a way to protect yourself somehow. if you cannot one-shot her, it usually means death: either you will be killed while unconscious, or she will steal your weapon and armor, and you're done again.

They can be killed without protection, but you need to only ever take on 1 siren, always have water ready for sipping, so they cannot knock you out, and ideally dual-wield so you can disable them quickly. If 2+ sirens catch up to you or your water runs out, you are dead.

i can't see why magpies are able to steal from invisible player. either i illuminated as a christmas tree and NOT invisible, or they should not be able to see my valuables. the exception is mind worms: they don't care.

IIRC there is a comment somewhere in the code that magpies' AI broke down catastrophically when the player was invisible, so they were made to see invisible.

btw. hiccups state does nothing for now. i have the ideas for hiccups effect:
1. failing to read the scroll (maybe with some undesirable magic effect).
2. spill some fluid on drinking.
3. drop the bottle on drinking (and it shatters).
4. change the direction of magic wand shot.

also. "scroll of hiccups" (or wand of hiccups). cursed wizards will fail their spellcasting, sirens will be unable to sing properly.

Nice!

One more effect might be a 10% chance to mispronounce a prayer, resulting in the punishment instead of the boon.

i wonder if it is possible to finish all Aslona quests without pets and prayers.

Well, that is kinda a challenge run. But I see no reason why it should be impossible, especially when you have access to GC too. Though defeating the castle or rebels with no pets and no gods might be quite a task.

i also found that anti-siren full helmets seems to work rather good. one siren is mostly harmless this way (not fully harmless, they managed to steal some of my gear; lucky me, not a helmet). two sirens is a threat, three sirens is usually death. i think it's ok.

Yeah, I think this is a good feature.

BTW (and this is pure speculation), do shields of resistance work correctly in k8? In vanilla, they rely on the fact that shields give their defence bonuses to all body parts, both AV and elemental. But if k8 has a different handling of shield defences, Aegis and shields of reistance might not work as expected.

Yeah, these look nice!

The small mode looks more like a map and I like it.

BTW, what if you used for background the coloured noise that IVAN can generate (what is used for borders/background of the GUI), rather than solid colour brown field? IMHO that would look better.

Yeah, better shops would be great. I tried to add some value to money via the black market, but having all shops be somewhat useful would be great.

Maybe we could start by adding one overpriced and very good item into each shop?

BTW, @vasiliy, not sure whether you noticed but you can steal from shops in vanilla without angering the shopkeeper, if you are lucky enough.
