Yah,
my announcements are cursed, it really is 0.8.2 ;)
If it isnt the version, it is broken links or lengthy discussions on
the merits of web forums ;)

Great. I'll have to get the new version.
I've played a few characters and am greatly enjoying the feel to the game. The
one thing I'd really suggest changing is to rename all the races. The feel is
terrific, but having tolkien-esque elf/dwarf/hobbit/etc as starting options
seems a bit jarring. Perhaps switch to Gypsy instead of Dark Elf and then
various 15-17th century Italian nation state nationalities instead of the other
ones (Apulian, Lombardian, Calabri, Abruzzi, etc.). Or modern nationalities.
Still trying to get past dlevel 10. Those darn tombs are just too tempting,
even though the description does explicitly say not to mess with them. Those
screaming skulls of vengence are impressively destructive.

Yeah. I would almost advise to even leave alone the drop_great unique
on that level, my targeting macro selected a tomb by accident and I had
sold my teleport level scroll...
I will change races, but still allow for blood traces of the elves &
dwarves. Thanks for the kind words.

Or three flags with duplicate values.

Last two should be 0x00020000 and 0x00040000, obviously.
konijn_
Yay ! You got me worried there for a while, but fortunately I only
messed up my change log, as I played around with some monster
resistances before chosing the final set. Will update changes.txt
though. Thanks !

Finding some issues with replacemen races, I had most already covered
in my T-Engine module.
But I cant seem to find a suitable replacement for Klackons. Any ideas
any one ?
