Dithmenos seems like a quite good stabber god. New tiles are sweet. New minimap too.

FTL just got a free upgrade which adds a whole bunch of content to it for anyone who has the game already. It's pretty fun and adds among other things mind control, hacking, a new race of metal aliens that don't breathe air, and cloning.

I spent a lot of time on Nethack and Angband. I even used to have my own variant of angband, called DaJAngband.  It's still available, but it's got bugs and I haven't touched it in about two years and don't have any plans to go back to it. My favorite other variant of Angband is probably Sil. Haven't playing any of them in awhile though.

Just saw that, looks really amazing, I'll have to pick it up again when I have more time (right now my free time is being devoured by Might and Magic: Duel of Champions).

You're forgeting that the new race actually absorbs oxygen from the room they are in, that they have a new ship, and that every existing ship got a new 3rd layout. Also tons of new weapons, events, etc.

Have the most awesome GrEE.
You know that part in Vault:5 when you get down and get surrounded by gazillion Guards? Two casts of shatter and they are all dead. Oh, and no mana used as Vehumet gives everything back :P


Edit: you guys are a jinx. As soon as I posted that, cuz I did cast 2 shatters in an area of crystal walls, whole level heard me and came to get me. Barely survived, used up blinks.

Also, new Spellforge guy is really strong.
And yeah, still didn't find any kind of blink spell.

That's sweet, that level is a nightmare. I recently experienced the joy of using Corrupt on Vault:5 with my DsAK. Corrupt is badass.

Unfortunately I died soon afterward to an outrageously long sphinx paralysation...

Yeah, that was the "other things" I just wanted to make it sound interesting if people hadn't heard of it, but didn't feel completist.

Ok, I'm in front of Zot enterance with 3 runes. First time ever to do this. GrEE^Veh, will post dump when I go around the dungeon and pick up everything I've saved for now. Any general advice? Walrus? (Also don't know if I should attempt Crypt, for example).

Nice dude! I'm sure it's pretty situational, but for what it's worth, after Vaults I cleared Blade, Elf, and Crypt before finally making the plunge to Zot.

You doubtless knew this, but Orbs of Fire will ruin your day. rF++ or more is highly recommended, and rMut is helpful too. I didn't even have rElec when I went down, although I wish I had...those electric golems are nasty. Draconians are numerous but not that bad. Klowns and Orb Guardians didn't me much trouble. Ancient Liches are a concern but if you take them out quickly they can't do much. Try to separate foes and deal with them individually, especially in Zot:5, and clear everything before you try to escape. Again, this was for a heavily armoured Axe Maniac Orc, so YMMV

Play slowly, deliberately. Be ready to teleport out if necessary. Relish each moment and take frequent smoke breaks :) I let my character just sit on the Orb for about 15 min, absorbing its radiant awesomeness.

Good luck!!

Here he is:
http://pastebin.com/FEuCPn4W

I mostly have 2 modes:
1) Make a Spellforged servitor, shoot stuff, with LCS/LRD, run away and let servitor clear the rest, recharge, repeat.
2) Spam shatter till everything dies.

Staff of power helps a lot with hunger issues. Have quite decent AC/EV/SH for a caster. Also a lot of haste pots and other useful stuff, but not that many good resistance jewelry/armour. Got an unused acq scroll

For a free expansion two years after the launch of the game, I thought it was important to point out that it is a rather large one!

Looks pretty great to me.

Defenses look good. HP is a little lower than I would've liked, but hey it's a gargoyle. Lack of rC may be relevant for dragons or Klowns, but I don't think it's the end of the world. I'd say put on that rMut amulet as soon as you see an OoF.

No better shields? :P I'd maybe blow the acquirement on armor just to see if I can get a cooler one. Might as well, you know? Similarly, if there's anything you sort of want from a shop, now's the time to buy it.

Spells...idk your charms is good, is there something there you can pick up? Regeneration maybe, or Shroud of Golubria? Repel Missiles is great, but it's probably more useful earlier when you're dealing with yaktaurs and such. I understand you can play games by apporting the Orb, but I don't think that's worth it unless you're really trying to ninja it. Summon Butterflies is a superb distraction...just cast it before a big fight, if things are getting hairy then you've got better escape options. Maybe not worth it at this point in the game, but I understand it can be helpful against OoFs, for example.

Seriously though you've got better intuition than anyone as to how your char plays...if you think you're ready you're ready! Take it slow, don't get cocky, and I think you've got a great shot!!

@Walrus:
I had rC++ on Ice Dragon Armor but it was not as enchanted, and would have to wear something to counteract rF loss.
No better shields. Found one of reflection that got corroded, Donald droped some crap, I actually had a pretty decent runed shield that a random passing monster took and I couldn't find it later when I got shields to 15. I used acquirement on jewelry and got some totally shitty Dex-1 Int+1.
I should have gotten Regen, would actually make difference while running. But I was fine anyway. Learned Butterflies but didn't really use them.
------
OoF were surprisingly EASY. With rF++ their damage wasn't bad, I wasn't mutated once (and I carried amulet of preservation most of the time as I was more worried about items, until I found that cloak, than I put on resMut) and I could take them down with few spears. (sometimes as few as two). Elec golems were breeze with built in resistance. Liches were biggest problem down there.
Mana vipers were a bitch in Snake, and Ghost Moths in Depths were HORRIBLE (I had to take them down with my artifact sword of see invis, completely untrained).
I had only one bump while ascending, in depths, I got hellfired by some demon and was low, but had a lot of healing and few spears got him.
Passwall is such an awesome spell, if you play smart and very cautiously (like, run away when on full hp but in disadvantage) it's basically controlled blink.
Petrify is neat skill too, saves you in a pitch and gives you extra LRD targets.
I was in grave danger only twice. Once in V:5 as I said before, and once in Lair:2 where I find an old ghost, a Necromancer, who tormented me, I tried to blink away, but had un-IDed amulet of stasis on myself. (as I was saving ID scrolls to pay for treasure trove).


I feel like I could have cleared a few more branches and gotten an extra rune or two, but still, beating the game feels AWESOME.

O yeah, forgot to mention my awesome Staff of Energy!
Found it very early, it eliminates spell hunger which allows me to spam shatter/spear with no drawbacks and it can be evoked for 1-3MP for a cost of 50 food which really works wonders in a pitch, when you really need to cast haste/passwall/spellforge servant (I had no Evoc training so it often failed, but was still great).

Run boots were a great buy, for a while I also wore Pondering Hat which negated the boots, but later that proved to be a bad idea.

also, the final boss is harder with the advanced edition content enabled...

After a year long break, tried to start again with the rock cruiser A on normal difficulty, went as well as you could expect. I lowered the difficulty to easy, and got to the end boss after a couple of tries. I was in for a nasty surprise, especially since I didn't manage to buy the cloaking device... The hacking in the first phase was nasty but manageable. The 35 seconds (!!!) of mindcontrol that you can't do a thing about during the third phase because of the super Zoltan shield was lethal. Didn't manage to board the ship in time to avoid death by missiles.

I checked the wiki, and what they've done to the end boss in hard difficulty is just cruel.

WON.

Congrats!  8) \golf_clap
May it be the first of many succesful runs!

I still haven't beaten the game on medium without the advanced edition content... I have been working on unlocking the ships, and doing that on easy because I don't want to torture myself...  The only one I have left is Mantis B and the crystal cruiser.  But yeah, what I've found with the final boss in AE: Don't buy the backup battery.   The hacking on the first stage of the boss always hits the backup battery, which not only blocks you from using it for a time, but also reduces your overall reactor strength by 2, which is awful... I didn't have as much of a problem with the mind control part because when I beat it on easy with AE enabled, I was using the zoltan ship and they couldn't mind control until my shield was down as well.

That actually sounds really great. When I fought the advanced boss on medium he took out my drone bay. I was playing as Engi B. I'd way rather spend 35 scrap on a backup battery that I can just plan not to use so I can have the extra offense of attack drones. I took tons of damage on the first one before I gradually wore him down with Ion Blasters and Flak. I had almost no health when I fought the second iteration and died in the first drone burst.

Ah.  In that situation that makes sense.  But I usually (at least on easy) don't have a surplus of energy bars.  I usually max out.  I guess it would be better to just take a dodge chance hit and lose 2 bars in the engine.  Maybe I'll try that next time

Also: Have you guys found that they don't give you nearly enough time to get to the boss? Multiple times I have gotten to the ship in as few jumps as I could and it was 1-2 jumps away from the base...

I agree with Jorbles, two less energy bars is much more manageable than basically anything else (barring something stupid like sensors, doors or medbay). In my run without cloaking or the battery, shields got hacked. That lowers your shields to zero in five seconds, and keeps them there for five more seconds. It takes five more seconds to go up to four layers. The flagship has a modified halberd beam (2 damage per room, can hit five rooms). You do the maths :p

It's unusual to be able to power all your systems from the midgame onwards, unless maybe you took the Zoltan ship. Micromanaging your energy is a core part of the game, even more than managing your crew (with some exceptions). If you find yourself depowering your oxygen often, you are doing it right.


I'm doing another run with the rock cruiser B, bought mind control. I'm not as impressed as with hacking (which is extremely powerful, thank God most random ships don't use it correctly), but it's useful. I appreciate that you can't buy all the systems you want, so maybe now endgame builds will be a bit more varied than teleport, cloaking and oh-I've-got-some-spare-scrap drone control.

I really, really like the new augmentations though, more than anything else, some of them really change the way your ship plays. There is one that fully heals your teleported crew, completely bananas with a rock boarding party and a high level teleporter.

EDIT: beat the flagship with teleport, mind control and cloaking, with very little hull damage. I had the battery, but I regularly forgot to use it, I don't think I know how to use it yet. The flagship hacked the teleport room, which was annoying rather than dangerous, since it sent my boarders back to my ship regularly. I needed two trips to destroy the missile launcher, but my own cloaking ensured that I took minimal damage until then. Mind control eliminated the crew one by one, since once you turn one of them two other crewmen gang up on him and kill him. Also the mindcontrolled guy was regularly teleported back to my ship because of the hack. Second phase was trivial with the cloak and teleport, I kinda wish they had replaced the regular boarding drone with an ion intruder, now that would be scary. Third phase would have been easy too thanks to the cloak, but the augmentation that let me bypass zoltan shields made it trivial. Also my own mind control negated the flagships mind control, so there was nothing it could do.

It looks like unlocking the secret ship in the advanced edition is both harder and easier, since there's more events to chose from. I've played close to eight hours, and only encountered one of the two random events needed to kickstart the quest once. On the other hand, you can now unlock it automatically if you beat the flagship with all layouts A and B. Also Rock Cruiser C starts with one member of the secret race, so you can stumble across the ancient device in the Rock homeworlds and activate it without all the fuss of the first two events.

Also: Have you guys found that they don't give you nearly enough time to get to the boss? Multiple times I have gotten to the ship in as few jumps as I could and it was 1-2 jumps away from the base...

The flagship needs to spend three turns in the base for you to lose, so it should be fine. You shouldn't dally in the last sector anyway, the drops are not good and there are no shops AFAIK.

PS: My posts keep getting longer and longer, I should self-impose some sort of limit on the number of times I can edit a post.

I felt the same way about my FoAK with his one-handed dire flail of distortion. Until a water nymph sniped me for 40 damage. Why didn't anyone tell me about water nymphs??
