Golem delux

If you don’t have Num Pad (for example, playing at laptop) – you may consider to play new Golem race which can not move diagonally (use regular 4-direction arrows), but have certain benefits:

• Golem race can now move only in straight directions (though Golem can move diagonally in town);
• Instead of food, golems consume oil: from flasks, lanterns, light sources. Oil flasks now rare. You can drink oil by _ key (while not standing on top of fountain);
• Golem can build clay walls; one per time (as they can not use anti-summoning corridors like other races). It takes time and energy to build one;
• Golem resistant to poison; suffer a bit less from physical damage; can not suffocate in water; have less speed penalty due overweight;
• Golems are not resistant to paralysis anymore, but can overcome it sometimes.

Gameplay changes

• Traveller, Scavenger, Archer classes rebalance;
• Troll do not have monster list anymore;
• Naga ESP range reduced;
• Ooze vulnerable to electricity;
• Gargoyles vulnerable to acid;
• Reduce MD chances for some classes which are bound to be worse in magic;
• Restrict melee classes’ MD penalty to staff/rod/wand (except Teleportation);
• DETECT_ALL on items won’t show treasures.

Technical

• Added monster’s attack animation;
• Added default hotkeys to control flow of time:
  – Press 0 to use default value (slow down time when you have less than 60% HP)
  – Press Ctrl+0 to slow down time permanently (so when you will have even small scratch – time will slow down). Useful in dangerous situations.
  – Press Alt+0 to turn off slowing time. Useful when you fight weak monsters.
  I strongly recommend press 0 after each fight so you will be back to default settings. Make it your reflex. So you won’t accidentally turn off “fuse” and forget about it.
• Fix sound errors;
• Mayor now sleeps most of the time (and snoring);
• From now on ladder include only 10+ level characters (but you still can download character dump when you die on low level – via character selection menu);
• Added Account filter in ladder (so you can find all your characters);
• Added Name and Monster filters in ladder (so you can find your specific chars or check monster which was most deadly).
