- I'm working occasionally on porting the "new gods" I wrote years ago to
- the current crossfire codebase, then fixing them for balance.  I call it
- "the Kirby project" ;-)
- 
- The easiest one was one of my favourites: Valkyrie, goddess of war and
- warriors, which I just committed.  It's far from perfect balance-wise
- right now, but it's good enough to get other people test and suggest how
- to fine-tune it.

  Valkie calls for a different gameplay style; or alternatively, it
  legitimates the style of not using magic.  She hates all kinds of magic,
  and "slays" creatures strong in magic.  On the other hand, she denies all

  The slaying thing will only affect enchanted weapons, and she gives them
  rather frequently (as weapons are sacred to her).
  
- As for levelling up, that's the fun part.  The reason I started with
- Valkie is that I figured this one out, after a recent irc chat about
- classes.  Valkyrie will accept sacrifices on her altar; you should pick up
- flesh, bring it to the altar, and then pray.  You'll gain praying exp
- depending on the difference between your level and the dead creature's,
- and on the flesh resistances.  Head and heart are worth slightly more.
- 
- This is not very fine-tuned yet; as the values are more or less fixed, I'm
- afraid it would take horrendous piles of flesh to climb a really really
- high level.
- 
- One alternative idea is to change the flesh code to fill the exp field of
- flesh objects with the exp of the originating monster; would that have any
- unexpected side-effects?  Then of course the altar wouldn't give the whole
- exp, just a fraction depending on some factors yet to be defined.
- 
- (On an unrelated note, if I do change the flesh code, I'd like to add the
- archetype of the original monster in the other_arch field, for the purpose
- of a spell I'm thinking about; any problem with that?)

  For the sake of testing, I put an altar on the last basement of the
  abandoned church north of Mostrai in Scorn.  This is *NOT* where I intend
  it to be in the long term, I just want people to help me test it, and that
  seemed like a good temporary place for it.
  
  If you want to test it, have fun, and have a nice carnage!  ;-)
