Hello

I think it would be better if you posted your ongoing log (which is nice to do) in the same blog post, put them as additional comments as you go :)

Well... Dwarfs ARE known to have stomachs of steel, but that is getting a little crazy.

as a side note, hes swallowed *I THINK* an ancient storm dragon and that was labeled as being massive sized or something.

No chance at all. I was meleeing him.

First try hit an error, tweaked the lua premake file a bit and it got further but ended up hitting another error.

SDL.h no directory is the first error.

Got it compiling. Hopefully it will run all right once it's finished :) I also used 'make CC=gcc" and had to do cd/c:/tengine instead of cd/c/tengine as the wiki said to find my way into the tengine folder.

Thank you, although i figured it eventually on my own - nothing a bit of keyboard banging won't fix.

I should reassign them to different keys, laptop keyboards are crammed.

...as some enemies just do not know when to stop, even if they are killed in the middle of their attack sequence (e.g. by riposte).

I do not have any log on hand, but i am fairly positive I have seen such behaviour in b18 - a series of attacks (e.g. from assault or other technique), enemy dies mid-serie due to ripostes or other passive damage source, yet the sequence continues till its end.

They all start off at a base radius of 2 and gain 1 radius for every 2 (raw not adjusted) talent points you put in. At tl 4 they'll all have a radius of four (which I felt was pretty decent when designing them).

The duration also goes up by a point every talent level but this rounds up and goes off adjusted talent level. At tl 5 every circle should be radius four and last ten turns at base mastery.

The damage they deal is a bit lower then say corrossive vapour but this is intentional on my part because A) you'll never damage yourself and B) every Circle gives the caster some kind of other advantage as well.

Really though it's a talent heavy tree. If you invest points in them the duration and radius can get pretty big and the usefulness will go way up. Otherwise Sanctity and maybe Warding are worthwhile even at a point or two but I'd skip shifting shadows and blazing light unless you plan to spend at least four points in them. (I did in playtesting and they did a lot of damage, but I also don't like using most of the sun tree aside from sun flare unless I'm playing a paladin).

Some do. When you are eligible to use a circle save up a few points and see how it scales upward. That is the best way to test any talent you are considering using. (Remember you can remove points if you right click on the talent as long as you don't leave the screen.)

Useful yet less so than the basic talents. I found the sanctify circle and the warding circle to be the most useful of the 4.

Remember: If you're a barbarian, you can do this to your enemies!

Get SVN and GIT from here.

This has SVN and GIT in their own MinGW/msys environment.

And I highly recommend making a backup of the freshly downloaded directory trees, because it's much faster to restore them when you screw them up than to download them from the net again.
