You're probably the best IVAN player I know of.

After taking a huge break from Crawl I realized IVAN is much easier to enjoy playing because of its chaoticness, though I still do some power-gamey things with it. When I made LIVAN I made artifacts spawn way less though I think I upset the balance greatly, but I don't care much looking back in retrospect. I regret adding Muramasa to the game cause it's easily too powerful for too easy a reward. When I get it, I just sell it rofl.

Anyways grats on winning man. I've gotten a decent character pretty far on CLIVAN so far and I admire the many devs' efforts on this variant.

Nah, I just forget to check the thread. I don't know what you mean by numbers, and if I knew I probably wouldn't know other than the OP for this thread.
Also Chaos I'm doing fine.

I'm surprised that there is still activity here. I commend such dedication.

Another thing I'm surprised is that there is still some interest in LIVAN, which is to me is very flawed. First, it is very unbalanced because the addition of so many levels nets you so much more gear, so shaving several generic undescript ones would help. Second, I forgot to make dragon armour be unable to change materials, if I ever made an update I would change that.

Oh yeah, bugs, several bugs like Assassin's limbs having negative weight (the inspiration of the Sol stones)

And those are my two cents. Thanks for the continuation of development and interest!

1. I guess equipment. I don't really fancy artificial limbs because if you depend them you can get boned if you lose'em.

2. Um, legs I guess so you can carry a bunch of stuff. If you're going pure unarmed I'd go for the arms.

3. Hehehe wish for whatever you find neato!

4. Eh, whatever works.

5. Hehe I don't have an ideal set but I love using Defender and an Ebony shield combo.

Leave the balancing to me -- I already know what the problem is.

I actually am getting some very cool ideas on receiving some very neat items. It won't just be about randomly finding them on the dungeon floor.

I like bugfixes -- IVAN (and especially LIVAN) has a lot of bugs.

Guy, if you manage to make a (mostly) bug free version of LIVAN I will give you a million thanks. Then, I'll make a new release of LIVAN that will mostly have a ton of balance changes and a few cool new things.

For some reason Assassins' bodies are sort of glitchy.

I chopped one of their arms off and it had negative weight. It inspired me to make the Sol Stones.

ask the guy who did crawl online tiles for advice on how to make ivan online tiles happen

no man, im so insanely jealous that i wouldn't dare fervor for this
