Another dump from my patch. This time testing the changes to superstealth:

- it now applies to tree grids rather than forest levels for Ents
- monsters who stumble upon you will now keep attacking the grid they hit you in (until you move and they enter your previous position)
- if you attack and hit, you will blow your cover and will need to move to another tree grid to hide again

Thicklimb found the HA whip very early which has seen him through to where he is now. He has just found a nice powerful crossbow which would average at about 40 dam/shot if he could hit anything (whatever happened to the deadliness rating for shooting in the dump?)

Ha, good question. Looks like it disappeared in 0.3.0 - I'll try to find where it's gone...

Another change has been making weapons of Angband potentially useful. With a pval of just -1 and telepathy as its extra power, the mace I've found is a tasty weapon with its frost and poison branding. I've used all the enchant weapon scrolls I can find to bring its to_hit up.

Would the tree grid superstealth change apply in Nan Dungortheb? That would be a very lucrative zone. Haha, I have raided ur_webz!

Yes, I think it will, and a good thing too - Ungoliant was being marginalised.

Yes it does... but as soon as you step into the webs you get mugged by very fast spiders. Also don't underestimate the change that attacking-breaks-your-cover and monsters-locking-onto-your-position-when-they-walk-into-you makes. You need to keep on the move all the time now to stay safe.

Got bored. Got careless. I don't really enjoy priests. Maybe that is just me rather than something that needs fixing...?

At this level archery became quite potent. With a x5 crossbow and 2d7 ammo, I could do 70+ dam per shot when fully buffed. Mim fell easily (especially as I was +16 speed when hasted).

I have trouble testing priests for the same reason.

Does this make you think your archery changes are about right?

I *really* don't know. I've never used archery in V, but I hear all this talk of 'get yourself a (+9,+9) bow and you are sorted' pretty much regardless of class, which makes me think that archery is very powerful in V (which I can understand if you have +27 dam per shot).

My changes mean that archery is now a viable option as a low-level ranger and for other classes once you can get your skill high enough. However I can see that for casters in particular, archery will probably be more powerful/effecient than their spell attacks - which I believe was Eddie's findings in V when diving with a mage.

Saying that though - I haven't changed skill at all and I've made later game archery weaker. So in theory all I've done is made archery an option earlier on...

Last point... and maybe the most important though... crossbows. Changing the ammo dice has widened the gap between shots, arrows and bolts. If you are only going to get one shot regardless of your ammo choice - a crossbow is going to give you much better results. I'd never have considered carrying a 20lb crossbow before, but all of a sudden it really helps...

I think the best thing will be when someone else gets to play with it and can give a better judgement as to whether it actually plays better now! I doubt that this will be the final 'cut' of the solution to the archery problem, but I think it is a positive start.
