Re: I'm a dad!
Woohoo! Congratulations Gambit! As a matter of fact, so am I, my wife had twins a little over 2 years ago - and a third baby screamer is on his way. :shock: They are still too young to play DM, but they already pretended to be Swamp Slimes, Screamers, Munchers, and Vexirks (with my wife's pullovers)...

Happily touching every wonder the world has to offer, in particular the computer of daddy, in particular the shiny brighty lighty glowing shutdown button. (don't expect any update of conflux soon).

Re: Experience and level depth
In the original (and CSBWin and DSB), each level could be assigned an experience multiplier. In DM, it is true that the further down you went, the higher the multiplier got. I think it went from 1 (Hall of Champions) to 7 (Dragon level), so you would get 7 times as many experience points down there....

Re: What do you like/dislike about DM2 compared to original
@Huan: For CSBWin, I recommend Towers of Chaos. For RTC, I recommend Surgical Strike (requires a specific version of RTC, I think it's 0.37 or 0.38) or Sukumvit's Labyrinth. I'd like to point out Doom Blade as well, but since that is my creation, I can't objectively compare it to the works of others...

Re: Reincarnation vs. importation
The difficulty also depends on which engine you play. With original CSB, CSBWin or DSB, it shouldn't actually be all that hard since you gain levels like crazy at the very beginning due to the high experience multiplier in all of CSB. I think I gained something like 7 or 8 levels in the starting roo...

The chastity serum is one of the malfunctioning magical items.

Yeah, Doom Blade is of the "spread out" variety, too. The outdoor scenario is pretty huge, so the different caves etc. are spread out all over the place. Take a look at the text file if you'd like to see what I mean. For your dungeon, I suggest teleporters, too. The player won't notice, an...

Re: Max level size
My Doom Blade dungeon uses 75 x 98 levels, and I can only confirm what Chaos_Shaman wrote: It's very painful editing levels of this size since you can't really see anything when pointing at targets of triggers.

Re: Possible new DSB dungeon builder
Yes terkio, I've seen that; maybe I'll steal it. After all, my RTC dungeon Doom Blade allowed you to create friendly monsters, carried around in Pokeballs. In DSB, I could actually catch them again if I don't need them anymore, as DSB's test dungeon shows. Hmm... the ideas are starting to flow.

Having played the Unintended Heroism dungeon, I currently have a few ideas for a new dungeon and have looked a little closer at DSB.

No worries Sasha, I actually really liked the second half of Unintended Heroism as well.
