You think dragons are scary? Wait until you see hydras. Unless you're a legendary everything, you won't be able to deal with all those strikes from all of those heads.

And do you know what the vision cone looks like on hydras during sneak mode? Well it's not a cone. It's a circle. A big damn red circle.

I think the most powerful creature ever would be a hydra thrall. No lie.
The trick is to clog its teeth with corpses

Yeah, dragonfire's always worked. You could even use it yourself in 40d (though not at-will) and 0.34.01 on (at-will).
Yes, you could Breathe Dragonfire, but, in Adventurer Mode, it would only burn items and land, and not spread.  Now, it burns living creatures AND it spreads, and now it just basically works exactly like in Fortress Mode.

...It would burn creatures. You can try it right now!

Is it manual blocking that makes it crash? I have been automatically blocking in adventure mode just fine...which I assume is the same thing just picked by the combat AI

I had problems as a dragon from everyone running away or attacking me in terror. I found a fix is to hold people down and interrogate them for quests.

Just wanted to say your avatar gives fun flashbacks from my tamer in UO. Did you get that animation from insideUO program?

Just found it somewhere on the internet, sorry.
*edit Actually, it probably originates from here http://www.netanimations.net/Fire-Breathing-Dragons-Wizards-Fantasy-Gif-Animations.htm

I have been able to block without crashing in arena mode, but not with my adventurer. I suspect that it has something to do with skills, since I made the arena character with inflated stats

The block bug is fixed already for the next version. It is in the changelog of the Mantis Bug Tracker.

Yeah, it was just a problem with the blocking menu that only triggered in release-compile mode.

This is like a traditional greeting now.

Hydras are not as "epic" as they seem. The multi-attack Hydras do, and their stupidity in not doing accurate strikes with their multiheads, means they will often miss stationary targets.


Toady mentioned that hydras don't get a penalty for doing multiattacks. If they do, it's a bug and should be reported.

With these things called, "emotions" now all about, people are pretty scared of almost anything that COULD kill you now.  So what if I'm a giant spider with poison that paralyzes your lungs?  Don't discriminate.

You want to help them right? So web them down and demand they tell you about their problems.
