Cogmind, some advices
« on: September 18, 2016, 11:06:16 AM »
Hello all,

After a long while when I didn't play Cogmind at all, despite having played it at the beginning of the alpha, I think it's time to replay it in the near future ! The only problem is that many versions has come by and I suppose many things have changed. So I wanted to ask you : what are general advices you can give me to not die after 10 min of play? What are the most apparent changes since version 0.5/0.6 (and the most useful ones to know!)?

In a nutshell : help me รด great cogminds !

Hey Kasaris, welcome back :)

Others might have more specific advice, but I would say your best bet is to browse through the release notes for each of the major releases in the announcements board. At the very least check out the highlighted changelog items (since I always highlight the most important stuff), but the full release notes of course include more in-depth explanations of what you'll be dealing with.

Certainly there are a ton of new features and maps since you were playing last! Honestly though there haven't been as many changes, per se, that will trip you up, mostly just new things to discover and experiment with. The biggest changes are probably that removing processors now destroys them, along with a big rebalancing of propulsion, machine functionality, volley timings... all of which are basically in your favor and work to make the game both a little easier (more streamlined) and even more fun. So you'll probably do better that before, even without exploring all the details beforehand!

Good luck!

I think you'll get the hang of it by just playing!

But for specifics, check out the announcement threads like Kyzrati said.

Nice ok ! I will (re) play in the near future, thanks. I'm in an ADOM-play frenzy for some weeks now : didn't get far in the game (at all) but it is super fun and -omg- hard, especially when you try not to be spoiled... :'( :-X Soooo this frenzy can take a while before I play Cogmind again  :P
