Thanks! I am glad that people find the combat system useful and comprehensible. Some have troubles distinguishing colors, though.

- jameskilton 10y agoAh yes that will be a problem for some. An easy solution there is to use different glyphs for the different colors as well.
- ondras 10y agoTrue. Unfortunately, my font of choice (Metrickal) only covers basic ASCII. But its glyphs are very neat otherwise :)
- CGamesPlay 10y agoSince the combat is in a separate playfield, you can reuse glyphs from elsewhere. What about \ / for attacks and ^ v for magic?
- rmetzler 10y agohow about using #*+@ for the Game of Thorns
- stickfigure 10y agoI had to keep rechecking which color was which. I suggest using two colors (you vs them) and two symbols (magic vs attack).
- jasonkostempski 10y agoIs there a "wait" command (usually '.')?
- ondras 10y agoNo. For no particular reason. But there is generally little room for movement tactics, as you cannot flee from combat...
- jasonkostempski 10y agoOh good point. Can multiple things attack you at once?
- ondras 10y agoNo, only one.
- yorwba 10y agoIt would have been useful when that elvish knight trapped me in a corridor and all I could do was talk to him (or kiss him - ew).
- ondras 10y agoThat wicked elf! Hopefully you will talk him out of that sticky situation.
- andrelaszlo 10y agoIt seems like enemies can't open doors, at least from what I could tell. So even if you can't outrun them you can hide behind a door?
