Men from mars, named enemies from hell
Well, here is a question for all of you; What is the new named enemy, or unique, you want to see in a coming version of the game? I remember reading somewhere, that one was required for each published version of the game. List also included one banana- and monty python joke along a few other things... To the point. I'd love to be torn apart by the mighty rabbit, with sharp, pointy teeth. Everybody already knows who I'm talking about? The game already has a good picture for Him, just add the white fur. And make it hasted... Muchos agility&dexterity, even more damage upon a bite. Second choice of mine is Tim, the enchanter... A challencher for our belowed archmage. Armed with a flamethrower of some kind and a variety of explosions. Ischl-whatever does the same I believe, which is horrendeously wrong. Maybe those two should appear at the same time and attack each other? =) Then, the player just gets in the way and killed in the explosions triggered everywhere... "Jakro, killed by the mages crossfire" Holy Grail is soo full of juicy characters! If you feel like doing it, go ahead and describe an artifact too.

Re: Men from mars, named enemies from hell
I only know about this: (file IVAN/Doc/Work/Version Requirements.txt in CVS) Every version must henceforth include one new feature from every one of these categories: fountain effects banana jokes special monsters special items special materials Monty Python jokes insults diseases every other version is ok for these: traps states other than diseases

Special item: Ar-zarak the big black axe +4. Big axe made of octrion with +4 echantment. Damage could be realy big. All small monsters that see it would run away in fear. It would have poisoned hits. Disae: "Suddenly, all your hair fell off!" Special moster: THE BLOB. It would eat everything under him ("mmm, turox. Lets eat it!) and could go thru ground.

Ernomouse, I like your style..... I would most DEFINATLY want to see Tim the Enchanter, or the Killer Bunny in a new version, that was one of the best scenes of the whole movie, I 'spose the killer bunny would just be a really hopped up dark frog on crack. A holy hand grenade would be cool too, I mean come on, who doesn't love big explosions. Right?

Holy grenade isnt already in the CVS version ? If not, it was the monty python addition for the next release in any case. "Special moster: THE BLOB." Wow me as a guest star, great. " It would eat everything under him ("mmm, turox. Lets eat it!) and could go thru ground" Actually, if he's such a jerk, i think everybody will hate me on the forum then. My special monster: The unholy banana. It looks like any banana ( or worse like a holy banana ) but as soon as you come on its spot it jumps on your head and tries to eat your eyes with its mouth like end, filled with pointy teeth. I am not under crack.

It would be cool. Everyone could make 2302 blobs in wizard mode and kill them with banana peel so they dont need to come your house ;).

I wanna see a dragon. Or my ultimate golem :D "The Blob" would be awesome 8) For that matter, I wouldn't mind a unicorn horn golem, or golden eagle feather golem. Extra artifacts would be cool, especially if it's an artifact for a group that doesn't have an artifact (such as battle-axes, or shields :) ) Hells, I'd settle for Lobh-se's dungeon making an appearance :)

There IS an artifact for every weapon type. I've drawn them already... The devs just have to... finish coding it :' ( Could dive in my old emails if you want to know which artifact it is precisely.

Post your artifacts blob! Post them in a new thread! More Artifacts, YAY!!!

I remember an artifact from Zangband that appears to be a small, silver spoon. if I remember correctly, it can kill any monster in a single hit once in a while.

I think we need a new special item: sponge. If a potion or blood is spilled on you, you can use a sponge to put it in a bottle. Sponges beat the devil because sponges are badass.

YES Z! Someone needs to revive that thread now.

You sure you want that revived, Atomic? I seem to remember that it was Hippy's thread...

Everything has a price. But i think its worth it. . . I just hope we wont revive hippy at the same time... And i ll stop pronouncing his name right now, i heard that writing his name 3 times in a post would summon him and bring him back directly from HELL ! Edit: ok forgot to answer about the artefacts , now if you want to keep the surprise of what you should find in the new ivan you d better not read ( i also say the effects of the new items ) list of the new artefacts : scythe of undeath ( raises killed humanoids as temporary zombies ) giantslayer ( bastard sword , 2 x damage on monster with > 250 size ) mammoth axe ( big damage, may bounce ennemies , very heavy, very difficult to hit . ) mucro ( dagger, bypass armor) venom dagger ( permanent poison ) banshee sickle ( screams , makes ennemies panics )

sounds nice! VERY nice, in fact! I presume that the Giantslayer is similar to the Buster sword from Final Fantasy?
