Comp 162 -- neoband??
Hi,
It's almost time for comp 162, and I'm thinking of doing a neoband 0.7 shieldmaiden comp for it. Two qualms: a) No offense to Therem, but I am a bit worried that the class / variant in general may be totally broken ![]() b) There don't seem to be any official builds for it, but it does sound like it compiles on everything pretty easily. I'd be happy to build for OS/X and possibly linux, but would need a volunteer to build for windows + upload to The Cloud somewhere. Comments on the former? Volunteers for the latter?

First off, thanks! I'm not much for publicity, but Angband publicity is always nice...
![]() Re (1), Shieldmaidens and other classes being broken: this is a bit of a kneejerk response to Vanilla, which has generalist wizards with (no offense) lots and lots of weak and mostly flavorless spells. I might have gone a little too far the opposite way I guess. I'll admit some inspiration from ToME 2, and probably more from Pernangband of (in)famous legend. It is definitely easier than V, at least at low levels. That's intended, as I dislike the preponderance of deaths at boring low levels in V. But I don't have much of a head for game balance, so... Re (2) I'll set up a chroot for cross-compiling it tonight, and test it out under Wine. Hopefully someone will know a place to host the binaries... |

Argh. When's competition time? I'm having problems cross-compiling, and have an absurd amount of work to do this week, so the Win32 build may not get done in time...

In a couple days, but we can always do something else in the interim and make this comp 163. No need to stress over it!
