I played my first game (in a while) as a hobbit blackguard, forced descent. I played on the nightlies on angband.live. I died at about dungeon level 39, so I didn't make it too far. I'll post my...

Angband has long been missing the ability to have allied monsters. Druid and necromancer classes are perhaps good motivators for introducing them. It would be a lot of work though.

For OoD items my initial inclination was to do some form of a/(mx + b) where x is the level difference and the rest are constants. It will take a bit of effort to fit it into the item generation...

I think we have a lot of information from stats and observation that the current version 4.x including 4.feature is too generous with drops and a bit light on danger. In some sense this isn't...

Is it currently the case that you can't teleport into "interesting rooms?" If so, I think that's something we should consider changing

Oh i see. That does mean those numbers will be wonky. Probably should adjust wiz-stats so it only considers lesser/medium and greater vaults. Is there an easy way to do that?

I don't think so. It uses the square_isvault function. I don't think that applies to special rooms, but I could be wrong.

Personally, I think the decrease is more to do with the lack of pits.

Well there's an opportunity to put some thematic elements in the levels. Since it appears that there are far fewer monsters these days in the second half of the dungeon, we could fill them up with...

Philip, historically the way it worked is that item drops were overhauled in 3.1. This led to a very generous drop rate and a lot of complaints that the game was too easy. Myshkin and I both...

Luckily these issues are pretty easy to fix. They're just tweaks in various constants. It was my intention to do these sort of balancing fixes after every version. Unfortunately the overhaul to...

I could have included extra blows weapons too (I track them). From spot checking numbers by eye they don't look any different from Westernesse or Holy avenger.

One other big difference. I also track the first time you find an item with a given ability.

In 3.4, on average you find an item with free action (could be anything including amulet of inertia)...

I'd have to modify the stat tracking program to get all of that. But I do track already all of Holy Avenger, defender, westernesse and gondolin. So hopefully that's good enough. I've plotted the...

Yup, both changes are probably related to dungeon gen. Some of this is probably a consequence of many more special rooms that are large but fairly weakly populated and have guaranteed items. The...

Feature branch drop balancing

The last time we did a dedicated balancing effort with regards to drops was 3.4 I think. After that, some of the changes introduced in 4.0 broke stats generation. Over the past few days I've tracked...

Having unaware monsters opens up a lot of options, including rogue stabbing attacks and player invisibility.

The way I was thinking of doing it is having an "awareness" bar, sort of like the...

Sure, I think we can approach this from a plausible situation in early Angband that works sort of appropriately.

The scenario is a player vs a uruk or black orc. They are about 30 steps from the...
