Quick bug fix. - http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/turtles

Fixed an issue where Ancient Turtle Cave wouldn't load on Nightmare and Insane.

Turtle V 9.0 - Ancient Turtle Cave 2.0
Pick it up here: http://te4.org/games/addons/tome/turtles

Ancient Turtle Cave
-Map size greatly expanded
-All bosses have had their reflect damage lowered
-All bosses now have their own 'section' of the cave
-Recommended level increased to 45.

I'm not the best at overall level design, so any points that you think could be improved upon, feel free to offer me some ideas for it.

Hey StarKeep,

is it intended, that all the artifact staves can be wielded in one hand, just like daggers do? IMHO this seems to be a bit OP atm.

Cheers.

[StarKeep]

It is.

At least until the next patch comes out, than I'll be changing 2 or 3 of them to two-handed.

So, what are some good turtle/class combos?

[StarKeep]

Turtle: Nearly Anything, personal favorite is Corrupter
Earth: Archmage, Paradox Mage, can also be good on other ranged classes, due to durability in melee + knockback
Ice: Archmage, Melee Classes, should be a fairly potent Cursed due to their freeze when hit/ +50% life mod/Rampage helping their slow speed

If you have Nullpack, Earth and Ice could both make a decent Heavy, and Striker is hilariously powerful on a Turtle.

[Faeryan]

Teenage, Mutant and Ninja are all great Turtle classes.

Yeah, I'm pretty bored at work.

Seriously, super turtle Berserker was absolutely fantastic.

ATM im playing a Mega Turtle Solipsist. Very strong char...

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

Megaturtle adventurer.

Stack all the damage-on-being-hit talents you can. Counterattack from brawler, the light shield from phantasm, a chant for light damage, a hymn for dark damage, acid blood, icy skin... Just stack these things to the sky.

Everything that hits you just melts. Truly TRULY evil.

[loimprevisto]

Adventurer is definitely the way to go with megaturtle. A mindhand weapon gets a lot of free attacks, and the auras add some on-hit damage if you're going for the 'melt anything that touches me' build. You can also go for Temporal, Solipism, Shadowflame, harmony/fire, and a couple of others to actually get a positive global speed!

Turtle V 9.2.1 - Egos (Beta 2)
---
Second test of egos, please report any bugs you may find.
Egos:
Turtle's
-Slowly grants the wearer +life regen, and -global speed, the longer they have it worn

Earth Turtle's
-Slowly grants the wearer +armor, and -movement speed, the longer they have it worn

[MisiuPysiu]

Hey,

The Turtle's ego doesn't show the speed loss and the overall Life Regen. It would be great if it would show the minimal and maximal amounts of regen/speed loss.
I found a turtle's ring with +69HP. The speed loss was at max about 2% and after a while it went back to 0%, then again went to 1% and so on.

The Idea for the egos is great but it need a bit more testing.

Cheers.
