Unangband Description

Unangband is a variant of Angband that has a distinct flavor. The Unangband project is a variant of Angband that has a distinct flavor. You adventure in Tolkien's world, through towns and wilderness and multiple dungeons, journeying from Bree towards greater and greater danger. This variant roughly doubles the monster list, expands the class-based system of Angband with numerous possible specialties that let you fashion a unique character, offers an absurd variety of terrain, and includes a bunch of major interface improvements, including better presentation of graphics and an experimental isometric view.Angband has a long history of development: I recommend you check out the excellent resources at angband.oook.cz and the wikipedia entry on Angband if you are interested in the history and current state of the play for this game.Gameplay:If the player is blocking, he gets a +20 to hit in melee and +15 to hit with bows/throwing. This allows bad melee practitioners to increase their odds of hitting by blocking.If the weapon you are attacking with or the ammo you are firing / item you are throwing is not an ego item, artifact, coated weapon or magic item, it will inherit brands/slays from your equipment as follows:· In melee, your gloves/gauntlets are checked first.· If you have no gauntlets, instead, your right hand ring.· Except for blows with your secondary weapon, which use your left-hand ring.· For throws and ammunition, only your left hand ring is checked.Rings of ice/acid/fire/electricity now have the appropriate brand. This makes them highly useful for archers/throwing specialists as well as mage-type spell casters which do not use gloves/gauntlets.Modified low-level bard spells, replacing Holy Water with a more bard specific spell.Added spells that modify a single round of blows, shooting or throwing.Scale down upper end of monster drop sizes.Minimise number of townsfolk who drop gold.various changes and additions to the wilderness map, guardians, depths; in particular, added the Great Grey Wolf and a slight upgrade to Boldog, the Orc Captain, to have missile attack.substituted guardians (e.g. Black Riders) now guard only the first zone and are described as suchrecycled some guardians so that changes to the world, as the game progresses, do not make uniques undefeatable, except a few plot-motivated casesad hoc tweaks to pseudo-id (until this is rethought and rewritten more systematically), in particular, broken items are no longer reported {average} for mages;on shallow levels, OOD monster rarer and not so OODmoved multiplying monsters (especially shallow but high HP ones) much deeper by increasing their hp rating in the power calculations; giant black louse is thus level 6, not 3 as before (is 7 in monster.txt)removed restore potions, made stat potions much more common and cheaper, tweaked prices of starting magic devicesmade traps, potions, etc. that do more than p_ptr->mph/2 damage leave player at 1HP instead of killing him; please revert if this is too munchkinish, but note that it only affects early game, when detect traps and ID are scarce; with this also later in the game test-id and no-trap-detection become viable; tentativemade apple and berries a bit lighter and berries somewhat nourishingyou can now die from starvation second turn after travel, bewareother minor tweaks and additions What's New in This Release: Game Play: · Storage locations now contain fully identified objects. It is possible for the player to learn about new items this way. · Never discount services. · Add service of Acid Proofing to Small Goods Store and Armoury. · Temples should now usually stock Satisfy Hunger service. · Don't break thrown weapons. · Allow flasks to be wielded into the quiver. · Increase number of monsters in wilderness. · Reduce starting number of monsters on each dungeon level. · Reduce frequency of diseases caused by non-disease damage. · You will now get a disease if you let your stat be drained while at the minimum. · Grass fires now burn out much faster. · Make Hornburg open above the ground level. · Improve routine which picks player allies on the battlefield. · Make forge giant monsters more like player class. · Prevent battlefields from getting consumed by fire as easily. · Improve effectiveness of wand of haste monster. · Ensure staff of perilous summoning is marked cursed. · Change semantics of healing percentage to match Angband's. · Change most healing effects to heal a percentage of the player hit points. · Increase length of time poison attacks last for. · Change throwing so that badly balanced weapons do the minimum damage and only have half the damage bonus when thrown. · Increase frequency of potion and scroll drops deeper in the dungeon. User Interface: · Allies use the player's name when speaking about them. · If a player is not hungry and not full and eats and ends up in the same state, don't report anything. · Remember when we get objects from storage locations or as quest rewards. · Change appearance of pits and silent watchers to prevent trap regions having the same appearance as unknown areas. · Suppress messages about weapons getting damaged on the ground. · Change appearance of shady trail. · Improve appearance of Old Forest. · Allow cancellation of recall to avoid consuming scroll. · Tweak throwing damage information. · Make some mushroom tips appear early enough to be useful. · Make the monlist option switched off by default. Bump the save file version to force this off for the competition 70 character. This is due to an unresolved bug with monlist option on preventing stores from being entered. · Separate out the option to toggle the monlist on or off via space bar from whether it is actually on to start with.
