Hello crawlers, welcome to the last trunk update of the 0.23 cycle. Before we plunge into the abyss of changes, the 0.23 Release will occur tentatively on 6 February, with the accompanying 0.23 Release Tournament running from 20:00 UTC Friday 8 February to 20:00 UTC Sunday 24 February. The tournament website will be brought online soon, watch this space for details.
And now, the latest from the depths of Gehenna.
- Clear runed doors replaced most runed doors.
- An experimental seeded dungeon mode has been implemented, allowing for plays through a pre-generated dungeon. See the new manual section “Seeded play” for further information.
- Tengu now gain permanent flight at XL 5, but no longer apply their flight evasion bonus to evasion from rings and artefacts.
- Nemelex’s Storm card now unleashes a fearsome blast of wind and electricity, instead of clouds and an elemental.
- The xv display now shows monster spell ranges.
- An extra pane has been added to the religion screen for Ashenzari, Beogh, Gozag, Hepliaklqana, Nemelex Xobeh, and Wu Jian; displaying god specific extra information.
- Spell damage punctuation now reflects the damage done in the same way as melee damage.
- A new unrandart demon trident has been added, the +8 demon trident “Rift”, distortion branded with a reaching range of 3 and smite-targeted attack. Thanks to aolowin for the concept and first draft!
- The Singing Sword has been taking voice lessons, and now sings more often and with greater vigor.
- The circus has come to Zot, with new klown and carnival vaults; watch out for the klown kars!
- Grate traps have been removed.
- The traps in the Tomb have been overhauled, toned down in places and toned up in others.
- High Elves have been removed again.
Space warps horribly around the trunk updates!!!!! The trunk updates disappear!
