Re: How old is your oldest survivor poll?
I just "survived" my first winter. I actually died at least three times doing things that I was 90% sure were going to get me killed but I backup my saves. I simply can't play Roguelikes the way they're designed. It's too depressing to lose the "progress" I've made  January 15, 2018, 06:00:46 PM |

Re: One shot, one kill...
Not a medic... No, it's possible to pierce the brain without killing the victim. Lobotomy the old way, when it was a fad, for instance (take a rusty screw driver, smash the bone up through the nose, wriggle around a a bit). They usually didn't die, I think. There's also a case of a railway builder who had his head pierced by a thick rod when the explosive he was arming exploded. The rod entered the skull in one place, and poked out in another. He survived, but suffered permanent personality changes. There's also a case of a psychotic man who tore out his own eye and push a pencil in until it hit the back of his skull, and I believe I've seen X-ray images of that skull with the pencil. "It itched". January 16, 2018, 08:24:49 PM |

Re: Attack bonus
Quote I can't find any information about this one, what exactly is attack bonus In the game, press F1 to open the built-in encyclopedia, press space to type a keyword, then type "weapon class". That should give you an overview of what attack and defence bonus is. So, in a melee combat situation, what matters most is the ratio of "the attack bonus of attacking weapon" vs "the defence bonus of blocking weapon". Or, in case of counterstrike, it is the ratio of attack vs attack. For exampe, if your opponent attacks you with a sword, and you try a counterattack, you are in worse position for the sword can reach farther away than your knife - you have to get closer to your opponent to deliver a strike. But if you are fighting knife vs. knife, the attack bonuses are equal so the don't have that much effect. Or, consider the situation you are sneaking from behind to stab an unaware NPC. If you want to stab with a knife you have to get a bit closer compared to thrusting a spear - so your spear attack is probably more likely to succeed before your opponent notices you. The attack bonus simulates that. January 19, 2018, 11:04:51 AM |

Re: Has Unreal World inspired you in one way or another?
For an assignment in secondary school, I wrote a thousand-word poem about the 2012 Wifecarrying World Championship in a style inspired by the Kalevala (or at least English translations thereof). And some descriptions based on UnReal nature have also made their way into personal projects. The main character in my most recent writing thing is partly descended from Karelian Finns (because Kaumo = cool  ). Some ideas concerning his development arise from reading up on Orthodox icon lore and the vitae of saints, although this guy behaves in ways very far from saintly haha.
