Yes, i was killed and all my save files vanished.

Rats!!!
I can not image so bad trick, never!!!

New battle strategies will be created at once..

Thats cause brave was very careless, thats why...

I ran as real idiot starving to take some valuable object when the enemy appeared suddenly from behind and brave fall dawn with the death of the heroes...

RIP, brave, we will never forget you..

ha ha ha

As I said it's a roguelike, that includes permadeath and the save wiping.

I am down again !
Rats!!

I started again this game as a Fighter. Very concentrated.
Nice.
I reached level 20 from 25 total when....
..something unbelievable...brave drowned with every step....and died

But which are the save files and where? I hope to make archive of these files and restore in similar cases!!!
We have 12 save slots but i do not see 12 save files in my folder?
Secret?
My very ambition is to beat that game even at Hard difficulties..
Mama mia...!

brave


EoF, i will show my progress as Eagle. Pls wait a minute.

c:\dhack\savegame\
The whole \savegame\ subdir is related to the player char / generated dungeon you're in.

.... or simply backup the whole \dhack\ dir ......

@Eagle of Fire,

as i promised a post above here is my progress as Eagle the Fighter.

@Dosraider

Danke sehr!

Ja, i find this save game directory. I will make Winrar archive after every 5 levels passed.

the brave

PS: I used this trick in the game Dungeon master 1. This hard game allows to make copy of its only save slot even during the battles.

Победа будет за нами!
(We will overcome!)

Yoga, permadeath is the point here. You're supposed to either be very good or very careful when playing.

A bit an overkill, don't ya think?
The times we had only 200/250MB HDs is long gone, compressing your dos backup files is kinda complicating things without any real purpose our days.
Simply write a batch (stored on your dosbox virtual C root) and copy the whole thing.
You even can in a simply matter use the copy/rename command to keep some 2-3 (or a 100 .... LMAO) numbered backups.

Some absolutely wants to cheat, yes dear yoga, it's cheating.

Hi, mates,
I met again this deadly level - Drawing level -. The last time it was level 20, but now is N 9.
Well, after the kind help of Dosraider i am able to keep my current level namely 8.
But when i enter level 9 or deadly level i loose 3-4 HP at every step. So my moving is limited to let say 10-12 steps. No rest possible.Then i exit the game to start again, exploring the level to find way down.One can recognize this deadly level by streams of visible small bubbles.
Do YOU used same method or not?
I show the ideal condition. In fact i am object of enemy attacks which decrease my HP.
Think my method is correct but needs too much patience in these endless explorations of the map.
No, i do not beg or cry for help. Just wanna hear another point of view.
Eagle of Fire is abs. correct stating that playing as Fighter is much, much harder compared with easy Cleric.

@The Fifth Horseman
Yes, i agree with YOU, dear The Fifth Horseman.
..very good or very careful..
My first impressions that this is childish easy game very fast disappeared after
this strong resistance.
It is not Arena nor Shadowcaster..

@Paco the Great
Hi, Paco,
Pls YOU are my last hope. YOU are map magician, are not You?
Come, bitte, and make the map of this bad level 9.
..and God will bless You.

Cheating, Dosraider?

Nein, No, Нет!

Let figure the next gaming situation: One fair gamer -like You- started a hard game. 25 levels total. OK.
The hero reached level 20 and......yes,yes drowned and died.Very gut!
Will You search for some solution or like an idiot will start stupidly this same game again and again?
The answer is very easy. Will.
So, pls, do not name the search of solution cheating as You attacked me when i played Dungeon master, episode --Falling very fast doors..
If, You, for example ask me:
-Hey, brave, how to kill the very evil in level 32 at Doom 2 i will answer>
No, dear Dosraider, You cant. Even with cheat, You cant.


One more word:
Pls keep in mind i created Dos. Brave is able to play and played a game with flexible disk of 640 KB. This disk included DOS, game(s) and place for saves and other programs.

[Eagle of Fire]

I'm very surprised you didn't hit that water level in your previous attempt with your Cleric. Now I understand why you said it was easy.

However, you say that you save scum. This is cheating. I thus won't tell you how to get down this level without drowning. The game is too easy for you now as it is.

Ha ha ha,
You make me smile, Gnadige Dosraider.
The game is easy, even with Hard difficulty because the device behind the keyboard is brave and smart. Thats why.
well..
Now seriously. To be fair as Cleric i beat the game after 9 levels?? I do not understand why!

..wait, wait i have.. to kill this opponent, because i left the game open and was attacked when writing this note down. A specific sound warned me i am under attack.
Nax, the opp. is killed..

About your pretension about consulting me how to pass water level i think that You simply trick me. Maybe, maybe pls note i do not say Sure You do not know the answer but bluff me.
Easy, man. brave is now 6 levels ahead.
Hmm. when You told me in our wrangle conc. Dungeon master 2- Falling doors - that i am ALWAYS cry for help and You know the answer but - No, no advise troubled brave- maybe, maybe You again trick me.
Want to know answers of both cases? Ja aber Nein?

Remember, Dear Dosraider for ever.
When brave started to game RPG some person was in his dad se*ds still.

ha ha ha

brave now
