Sandworm queen always in first room

#1 Post by yufra »

I mentioned this in IRC, and after finding her there again decided to look at the code. I think the problem is that the guardian spot checks connectivity to the entrance, and in the SWL that is only the first room. There is also a typo in the generator/actor/Random.lua spot... should be "guardian=true" instead of "gardian=true". Not sure how you want to handle this...
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended

She's enough of a pain in the neck when you know where she'll be. I was hoping it was intentional, but oh well...

Well her placement makes the resurrect option in Easy/Normal modes more difficult. Since you restart the level debuffed and all NPCs at full health you start the battle worse off (potentially) than how you started with no option but to go upstairs to hopefully prepare in any empty room. I think it is newbie-unfriendly, which is what I had in mind.
