Making a game actually winnable.

(1/5) > >>

Karry:
It seems to me, that it is totally impossible to win a game on U, even WITH savescumming. Its just not happening. The reason is, of course, a V. They present only a moderate threat when bunched up in open space, like Mortuary, "town" type levels are good too, but winning several "labyrinth" type levels, or normal "rooms" - nope, no can do.

How to fight this...hmm...
For example this : changing a minimum exp given for a kill to a fixed amount. Like, for easiest difficulty - no change. For next two difficulties - any monster gives a minimum of 1% of exp. And for the last two - 2% minimum exp per kill.

n9103:
If your biggest complaint is the Viles (and I don't blame you) perhaps something along the lines of Viles don't rez other Viles would be more suitable, and be less potentially balance disrupting.

DisaffectedBeta:
One of the things about Viles in the original game was that they took time to use their column of flame and their resurrection power.  So you could run out of sight before you'd be hit by the column, and you could unload on a Vile when it was bringing some minion back to life.  The nicer thing was that, since it wasn't random, you didn't get a bunch of barons clustered around a Vile, who would bring them back faster than you could destroy them.  Balance for me has been getting too many damned high level monsters in huge chunks that are too close (or too quick) for the rocket launcher...

Viles do not rez other Viles.

Tried AoM on U about 20 times - that is even more impossible thing to win. In fact, you have about 70% chance of dying on level 2, since the game tends to generate 2-4 demons in one room, and thats it, you're dead as soon as more than one of them notice you. You can take EE instead of SoG to take care of captains in coward mode, but then even one demon is death for ya. Not to mention, you will most likely finish level one with less than half of your health.

There is one simple answer: The game isn't supposed to be fair or balanced on U.

End of Story.
