That would work if I had less than 40 heroes and I could set hero stats within the editor. As it stands, I have 120 possible combinations for all my heroes.


Minor correction, 41 is the limit of heroes in your party, and 60 is the limit of heroes defined in custom.

Of course, that does not help with your 120 heroes :)

Out of curiousity, Angband is obviously a major inspiration here, is it your only inspiration for this or have you played other roguelikes?

Uh, well, I've never actually played Angband or any of its variants, hehe. The only major roguelikes I play are ADOM, Cataclysm, and DF. I don't know why, but I never could get into Nethack.

That's pretty ironic considering your creature list; there's only a few that aren't classical *band creatures. Good to hear though.

I asked because I was concerned about grind (something that *bands definitely have plenty of); I'm personally more on the Dungeon Crawl side of 'grind is stupid, tedious, and anything encouraging it should go away'.

I've never even heard of Cataclysm personally, I'll have to try it.

Well, we may have been drawing from similar sources. I've never played a *band game, but I do consider myself fairly widely read with mythologies. That, and I consider myself pretty much a D&D dweeb, so some of our sources for creature naming may have been similar.

Hehe, that, and there are really only so many creatures you can get for Z and X.

Ugh, grind. I rather hate grind, it turns what could have been a fun game into needless repetition and sore fingers from pressing too many buttons. I hope to get rid of it as much as I can.

If any game has really influenced me though, (And I'm sure I've mentioned it previously) it would be the Ultima games. Heck, I'm even an official Dragon, though haven't really been active much. One of the things I wanted to capture was crawling through dungeons, seeing some baddy way out of your league, and then high-tailing it out of there while throwing Katrina into the maw of an unholy creature as a distraction.

Ah, good times, good times..
