anything relating to ivan you're too lazy to create a new topic for
in forum Tips, Tricks, and Secrets
New strategy for the tactical level in TX: Bring a stack of landmines, as many as you can. Drop them right as you enter the level and zap them with a wand of teleportation. Make sure that none of them ended near you, then pray to Silva or read a scroll of earthquake. Watch the level burn. 
This gets rid of quite a few enemies (hopefully the spellcasters, too) and opens new tunnels in the walls that would otherwise force you to go around the long way. Unfortunately I still died in the last game as the Xinroch's grave keeper kept destroying my torso.

Medusa Enemy
in forum Suggestions and Ideas
The big problem with material changes is how difficult it is to fix them. It's a pretty permanent and awful attack. Maybe if the medusa/cockatrice were a "boss" and ideally restricted to a specific level. I wouldn't want them to show up randomly
Yeah, it would be a cool boss.

There was a discussion in the ideas thread a while back about a cockatrice that would stone your limbs on attack.
The trick with a floating eye and darkness made dealing with them actually tolerable once I learned about it.

Crafting is very new subsystem, so I don't think anyone has really explored what everything can be done with it (and what is broken). Maybe start with smaller items? I think they should be easier to craft.

I released the one behind the palm island today by exploding his buddy on the island. It seems that if you use a wand of fireballs and the island dwarf is standing all the way on the right, the right wall will not survive the two explosions. Fortunately, I set off the other too before he had a chance to get closer.
BTW, that level with the priestess of Infuscor that constantly summons new creatures is brutal. Even if I go and kill her, she often manages to get several necromancers and they keep zombifying anything I kill. Do you have some clever strategy for this?

For the purposes of distributing the IVAN software, I prefer the pixelated too.
I like the modern banana pickaxe logo for our website though, reckon it'd look great on a t-shirt.

I like that.
I think some NetHack variants have molds and mushrooms spawn on rotten corpses. It could be pretty interesting.

Sorry for the late reply. Shields of magic resistance actually only grant resistance to magic damage (for example wands of striking, or the "magic missile" spells dark mages will blast you with), not against all magic spells. Thus it can be useful against mages, but you will also need a source of resistance to other elements.
I would like to have Willpower grant you a general saving throw against all magic one day.

That is seriously inconvenient when it happens.

We should add a chance to any crit to the groin to print "It was a gelding blow!" and give you permanent "eunuch" status.
