ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Title pretty much says it all. But truth be told (< unnecessary) I am a long-winded loser who just finds ways to extend the duration of any given sentence he may find himself in. Actually I DO have a reason for asking... Maybe about 10/100 dungeons I see an area that I figure out I can only dig to. ...

Well I am pretty new to TOME (and play on normal) But I have a method for dealing with them (that works for dwarven bulwarks) that has made them very easy (if time consuming) for me. You can block the path of an escort by standing in front of it. Then Wait (pass a turn) about 50 or 60 times and tell...

I may mess around with it... It sounds like you drown them so that you don't incur any "hate" from that town or race? Could I just pummel them to death? Also (Thank you guys for helping a n00b), I just tried something and it worked... I got a talent and then unlearnt the talent required to...

All I can say is that apparently I've been very lucky going into the maze straight after the first dungeon.

I did skim mex's guide, and all that really stuck (considering that I don't have wildfire yet) was that with Shalore class talent + that time talent you can hit 200% global speed if I am correc...

I think I may very well try to do that wildfire mage thing. I'm starting my first archmage ever, just BARELY beat that opening dungeon in space. Obviously they are very squishy, but just maxing the first fireball attack alone seems to blow through every dungeon I've taken it in. The thing is it seem...

Nice I kinda "re-invented the wheel" I guess on that rod thing. Healing mod looked very good on the stat screen. But unfortunately that very bulwark... Is dead. Went into the volcano @ lvl 20. Died to the boss I think... Some Fire thing... I got trapped in last stand. And didn't use my rec...

Hello, I'm fairly new to roguelikes and pretty new to TOME, although if you consider (or have ever played) "Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals" the 100 level dungeon in that game is VERY roguelike, and I have played that for years (so I'm not a total n00b). Anyway I have played a good bit of...
