That usually ends up overpowered in one way or another, and in Cataclysm I can guess that the dodge tactic would make you immortal.  With 8-10 dodge you can knit a sweater while a zombie tries to grab you.  If you could get an additional dodge chance based on your combat stance...  And yes, 10 dodge is easy.  Spend some time going full out melee, low encumber, killing everything for the skill up, and you get some incredibly high combat skills, particularly melee but you can also powerlevel your ranged.

As I'm sure Whales will reply, "That's a good idea and works well, but it's not for Cataclysm's style."

[Whales]

Actually, dodging is never guaranteed now, and attempting to do something like read a book with a zombie nearby will end up with you getting smacked in the head pretty quickly.

While there's lots of interesting possibilities for making melee more complex, for now I definitely want to stick with classic, simple roguelike melee.  There's enough that goes into it already to keep it interesting, I think.

Fun? yes. Interesting? not really.

[Whales]

Eh, fun's good enough for me 

Those looking for ultra-complex or super-detailed melee combat should probably look elsewhere.  I hear there's this game that simulates things pretty specifically... Dwarf something... supposed to be good!

Never heard of it, I wonder what it is...

I know one but it's not released yet; Ultima Ratio Regum. I'd really like to play a game with ultra-complex combat if you guys know any.

Anyway. I was thinking about playing Cataclysm again but I couldn't find the windows port of the last version

[The Merchant Of Menace]

It's in the thread labeled "Windows Version"
And I've linked it a few times.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Sorry and thanks. I only checked the "Official Changelog" and the modding section. I didn't think the windows version could be in the gameplay section. You know, it's the section where people discuss the game.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

It is a rather odd place, yeah.

In other news, the code will be platform independant soon, so windows binaries can be released pretty much as soon as Whales updates.

[Leatra]

Cool. Lazy people like me can stop asking for the compiled version

[The Merchant Of Menace]

You'll still need to wait for someone to compile them, Whales uses Linux

So it's probably not the last version but I'll try it and see for myself.

My bad.

Hey, I just came across an unfinished mod and it has... VEHICLES! It would be awesome to have it merged with the game when it's finished. I used to think implementing cars in a roguelike game would be close to impossible.
