crawl VS Cataclysm-DDA

However: https://github.com/kimjoy2002/crawl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md "Added two-headed ogre(playable). Can wear 2 weapons and 2 amulets. But you can't wear a shield" - kimchi has two-headed ogres, but AFAIK they don't get two religions.

It does an excellent job. The added content fits with the design philosophy the game had back when it was adding and trying out new things all the time. For example, Wights are playable and some of the most fun I've had with the game. Awful aptitudes in almost everything, but nice undead bonuses/resistances and the ability to curse their held weapon for an enchantment buff. Kimchi hasn't seen an update in about a year, but they were actively polling players on which content they'd like to see restored for some time and actually following through on it. https://github.com/kimjoy2002/crawl

And in top of all that, makes hundreds of new additions, while regularly merging new changes from up to date DCSS versions. You can play as a Hydra that grows a new head every level and an amulet slot every other level until becoming the Lernaean hydra with 27 heads! How exciting and awesome is that? You can check the huge changelog here.

Barony, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup Kimchi, Tales of Maj'Eyal - there's almost nothing better than randomness, immediacy and pausability of roguelikes, but there's also so much unfulfillment after Yet Another Stupid Death when trying to play casually, even with savescumming, permadeath off and other "little" cheats,

Kimchi is a fork of DCSS. It tries to imitate the original experience from the late 00s which some players prefer.

I can personally recommend Kimchi if you prefer old DCSS. It adds back all the old races like for example sludge elves and mountain dwarfes, all the old classes and previously removed items.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - One of the best and most popular roguelike out there at the moment. Kimchi is a fork of DCSS and tries to be closer to the original experience from back in the day which some players like better.

And that sucks! I really wish being Huge (or Tiny, but I haven't tried that personally) felt more distinct than it does. You really shouldn't be able to operate holdout pistols, but you should be able to stuff a thanksgiving turkey in your coat pocket.

If you look in the jmath.json file (https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/data/mods/MindOverMatter/jmath.json) under the matrix awakening odds and portal storm awakening odds, change the Return to "return": "0 * _0". That should set the odds of awakening to 100% regardless of how many paths you have.

Are you sure? I checked the initial PR and couldn't find any mention of an anvil, and I checked the current files, and also couldn't find any mention of an anvil.

There is not, but it was mentioned as a desired feature in the original PR introducing Electrokinesis so it will hopefully be added eventually.

Must be the newest experimental. Static hordes were added back to worldgen, the hordes option now only toggles dynamic hordes.

It currently works as of: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/releases/tag/cdda-experimental-2023-12-09-0323

[default 3D field of view was reverted|https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/69940] because there were some bugs in the tests due to it

That said, I recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, which offers something like this.

Each power has a different set of thresholds leading into different powers. You can check the JSON files for each class on github to see which powers lead into eachother at what level.

Yeah, I ran into a similar issue working on craftable bone spike spears. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/57447 There is some decent research on the topic but it’s not open access which didn’t leave me with evidence to support my argument besides basically metadata. For the record I think this is reasonable, it’s just frustratingly difficult to find accessible modern research on these interesting topics
