Hah - so that's why that crystal wouldn't work there. I encountered it only a few days ago prior to this patch. I thought it was just part of the game, that it was a false crystal to troll player. It was definitely weird that there was just a plain empty room above it, and I could just walk through ...

Huh? You can configure as many installation locations as you want. I have my Steam games installed on several different drives.

Themell definitely makes a solid case about the amazing resistances achievable with 4 Lizardman, that the Lizardman is one of the strongest races in the game in terms of base stats, and that Barbarian is one of the best classes due to the +1 STR at every level combined with the seeming fact that the...

I think that confirms for me that 2 Alchemists + a Farmer (instead of 3 Alchemists) is the way to go; with the 4th man being that powerhouse Mino Throwing Barb. Agreed. 1 x Minotaur Barbarian (Throwing) 1 x Lizardman Alchemist (Heavy Weapons) 1 x Ratling Alchemist* (Casting, or DEX based Light Weap...

Good point. Those constant big red splats hinder awareness of when its time to drink a potion or run. And with certain enemies that do flurry attacks (Skeletons, Mummies) those rapid-fire splats are really annoying.

More on Farmers (this is an optimal-party thread, after all): The great and undocumented thing about gaining XP by eating as a Farmer, is that XP gained per food items scales linearly with each level , meaning he is still a level-gaining machine at higher levels, not even factoring Fast Learner and/...

Gotcha. Well I definitely think 'the optimal party' will always include one Ratling, not only for the Mutation but disproportionately high amount of cheese in the game (relative to other foods). I also have a theory that the ratling mutation RNG algorithm creates probability bias based on user-picke...

Yeah that's super tempting. I did swap out my Human Farmer for a Ratling Farmer and very happy with the result . How so? Just curious. Whole point of farmer is abusing food for +XP, and that extra +10% XP from Human Fast Learner trait adds up in my testing. Put simply, does it seem like Mutation ou...

Which changes or improvements would you like to see? - I wish damage numbers would not disappear so quickly. This is especially a problem during intense battles. I usually have no idea how much damage I am doing unless I'm taking my eye off battle to look at weapon squares. Either make it 2-3 second...

Authors could release more commands to allow me to modify character injury chance later. :| Why should they waste time on that? What you're talking about is no better than using a trainer. If you want to ruin the game for yourself, fine, but don't expect the developer to help you do it. Play the ga...
