10 years of not playing (sh.itjust.works)

After having not played for about 10 years, I went and did a few runs of my old reliable, gargoyle fighter, with a couple runs going to 5 runes before my discipline failed them. What are some fun new combos to try out? I used to enjoy high elves sword&sorcery but I see that this race is gone, anything that would fill that kind of fantasy?

If you've never done Orc Priest, it's a ride.

I did play that a bit back then, though never to the endgame, maybe I'll give it a go again. It is pretty fun once you reach the mines I'll admit

Yeah, enjoy them while you still can. 🙃

Oh, are they looking to change them?

On trunk (pre-release version, which contains the latest development changes), Hill Orcs been replaced by Mountain Dwarves. Their main distinguishing feature is that they're less hindered by heavy armour when casting spells.

As far as I can tell, the devs will probably make it so any race can become Beogh's messiah.

But yeah, obviously all of this may still change throughout the development cycle.
