most people probably aren't aware, but goatman also gets +20% (i believe additively? unsure) resistance to *all damage types* while drunk. i think the baseline 40% magic vulnerability is a more significant drawback than you implied, given that you will be glued to magic resist items once you have them, but it's only a big deal if you're clumsy in the early game, or if you really like scaling up the magic gloves that aren't djinni's bracers. this weakness is most significant for gnomish mines, you have basically zero room for error against lightning gnomes. when drinking/tapping a fountain, goatmen will also sometimes get a few free potions, which you probably just forgot to mention, but it makes early game alchemy more achievable, and you can get powerful potions as drops, so i think it's worthy of note.

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

One thing to note about goblins is that spells a class starts with by default are still learned, so playing goblin conjurer is a viable option

[@fskin-pm]

True. They will also learn Dominate and Forcebolt with legendary magic and casting.

Playing skeleton makes me cry every time the regen is just too slow it's not fun

It's unforgiving in the beginning for sure.

thats the thing i dislike about being a skelton main. the lower regen and mp regen isnt a drawback, it just takes real world time

[@chickenmanphil]

I think you underrated Incubus and Succubus, I've found making cursed items a buff instead of nerf incredibly useful, for example Shelob drops a +5 armor ring of invisibility, as well as early items, which are often cursed, become far stronger, and the blessed stuff is pretty easy to work around if you remember it.

[@rbcubed]

I will not tolerate the Insectoid slander. Fr though this was a good list! I agreed with basically everything except for the Insectoid haha.

[@fskin-pm]

I love Insectoid but I had to be strict for the ranking :

Aren't automatons also heated by swimming in lava? So you can train your magic freely without burning or starving by swimming in it and casting heal spells

[@shinybraixen8796]

I played a Goatman Monk today and was just decking everything in sight it actually hits like a truck

[@vincentwei9869]

succubus is just better than human in most cases no? can polymorph at whim to access all the benefits of being human (water is accessible on almost all levels even without bottles), but also has magic resistance, which is huge for gnomish mines to snowball early game and against bosses lategame. Ability to wear cursed gear as blessed items is a huge boon even in singleplayer early game as skeletons tend to drop cursed gear. Sure not being able to peel off artifact weapons in the mid-late gameis an annoyance, but by the time you get enough enchantment scrolls (usually in hamlet), you wouldn't want to take off your main weapon in most instances anyway (usually already have dig, why would you need to throw potions unless ur alchemist). and if you really need to peel off the weapon, just polymorph away and turn back

[@fskin-pm]

Tier list is of course biased by personal skill and playstyle so to your points: - Damage by gnomes is, at some point, easily avoided altogether so I don't think it matters that much. I don't even think the 20 % innate magic res matters that much against the bosses as long as you get some magic res items. - I don't think you're ever really dependent on having to use unappraised items. Even with bad starting perception, if you play it properly, you can get the appraisal grind going in the mines. - Not being able to switch off the blessed weapon may be fine if you're overpowered. If not, you lose out on using bear traps, pickaxes (way faster than dig - think escaping) and some other utility. Not ideal.

[@vincentwei9869]

​@@fskin-pm eh still probably one of the hardest parts of the game. If we use your logic you can easily avoid damage/deal with almost every mob in barony, especially when u get more tools to do so in the later levels. One of the best players, Lyciant, most frequently has his runs end in gnomish mines because there is very little room for error in there. Although the chance of making a mistake is so low for a player of his caliber in gnomes, its pretty much gg from just one; whereas in the higher levels the chance of mistake might be higher, but it’s more of an inconvenience (losing a few healing potions/resurrects) rather than instant death from double zaps

[@grape1220]

Early game, being forced to expend a significant amount of mana so you can unequip your weapon or a piece of armor whilst also having everything cursed you had equipped become an absolute liability until you wait, happen to have water, or have revert form,- Is NOT "free" or "at a whim." It's a good tool on their belt for Succubus, but saying that the downside is negated as Succubus is highly inaccurate. Now, once you get the ball rolling, you can reasonably collect water, and your mana pool is big enough to not take too big of a hit, ect. You STILL are being *slightly* inconvenienced by playing Succubus over human, even if that inconvenience is small, it matters quite a lot for a tierlist like this.

[@icyberg100]

Goatman brewer goes crazy tbh as long as you dont mind min-maxing

[@williammartin7138]

I think Succubus/Incubus are at least A tier. In hardcore mode these races have a much stronger start compared to others as cursed items are plentiful. With cursed armor especially you can reach the higher threshold required for training your block without damage. Cursed weapons help you kill the higher HP enemies. Also I just learned in Hamlet the Jester will curse your weapon by -3 or -4 which is huge for this race late game.

I love racing

[@ibymalik4139]

another point about vampire is that levitation is absolutely broken for grinding both spellcasting and magic seeing as how you can spam it to get both and reach 100 spellcasting before you even set foot into the dungeon

[@Maski500]

real life race tier list next?

[@Carpatouille]

White race was hard nerfed every last patches lately, they developped "ethnomasochism" racial trait to replace the "ethnocentrism" old one, debuffed intellect with "leftist ideologies" and they buffed asian intellect significantly, with "will to work hard" racial trait, so : S tier : Asians, perfectly adaptable to almost any environment, don't take shit from any other race in their countries unlike whites, highest IQ score and economy that's getting better than white economy. A tier : Hispanics from America, "rampant crime" racial trait is keeping their powerlevel in check because otherwise they could be S tier since their economy is growing quite strong. B tier : Arabs, they can steal and attack people in white countries freely thanks to the "leftist ideologies" nerfs on white race. They are also on par with current white race intellect and smarter than the other races in the lower tiers, more cunning. So they can parasite and take advantage of other races, except asians who they are still trying to figure out how to best. Will probably get A tier in the future if they win by demography in Europe, since their fertility stat is very high. C tier : Black race, their race and victim card works perfectly on the white race that's getting dumber and dumber with newer generations plagued by "leftist ideologies" debuffs, but they are still exploited by arabs in muslim countries the most and still sometimes in white countries by greedy corporates who take advantage of "leftist ideologies" to justify having them as unofficial slaves. Their fertility is on par if not better than arab race, so they are unkillable though. 2nd C tier is White race. With repeated and serious debuffs to intellect, economy and fertility, they are on the road to get to D tier. Some of the richest players are still white, and a few resisting communities are trying to salvage it from its rapid decline thanks to their old S tier ranking that lasted many patches in the past, but they are on their way to extinction in the west. War on eastern Europe does not look good for the future of this race either. Will probably disappear almost completely in 60 years if things keep going the way they do in Europe. D tier : Variants of the big families of races like Pygmees, who are the most isolated and primitive ones. Are at the complete mercy of any of the other groups, usually have almost no intellect, economy or fertility, and no written history. Only recommended for hardcore players seeking a true challenge. There ya go! Race tier list in 2024!

[@Carpatouille]

Damn my real life race tier list got shadowbanned, rip

[@alucard3600]

Would love to see a class tier list for sure, also suggest which race pairs best and which are the worst with the classes as you rank them

[@Carpatouille]

Let's be real, human is S tier above everyone else, you have no restrictions and can use any class or playstyle you want. You will never regret going for humans, compared to anyone else.

[@kelbym3710]

Definitely agree human is really good. with no issues gives a lot of unique solutions to problems. Only thing is outside of legendary npcs I find that most human helpers are way less effective than goblin helpers or insectiods.

[@Carpatouille]

@@kelbym3710 Yeah I've had some success with an early random human wizard NPC once but he was destroying any non named NPC I was recruiting once he reached lvl 30 with his fireballs lol

[@pieslayer12]

I'll be looking forward to a potential classes tier list.

yo please do a class tierlist, would love to have your insight on them.. or maybe a series of videos explaining what to know when playing each class. the only ones i saw were really not that good.

[@Giotron]

Now make a just races tier list

[@Desgracsa]

Dude, your channel is fucking necessary 😴🙏🏽🔥

[@videogamerNattie98]

I disagree with goblin, I have a harder time with the Gnomes then I do with the swamp. Goblin is only good for the forest section of the game which is 5 out of the 35 levels, but the 30% reduction in weapon skill is terrible and it also by the wording I think it applies the debuff to ranged without the versatility buff to said ranged this means the only good classes you could play as a Goblin without having the effects nip you in the butt is physical classes. For Magic you cant learn books, For ranged the effects go against you so its only A tier imo if you just play a Fighter/Barbarian due to the reduced equipment degrade which said classes are hurt most by but if your any other race and stick to Polearms/Axes for instance your gonna get to 100 faster then the goblin sure you have versatility but you can just get a good weapon of the kind your using and be fine for the rest of the game. But if your doing Ranged or Magic automatic D making it a B for average between the two just because your kind of funneled into a Martial class unlike other races. And insectoid is B on average because the ability to eat any food means there is no food that will go to waste. If your doing a ranged/Melee its a A tier because the ability to navigate with flutter helps in those situations where loot is across a chasm you cant reach and you don't have levitate yet and the acid while not good is a nice ranged start option if your low on HP. Yes the conjurer dilemma is bad but a Insectoid Wizard/Healer can work unlike a Goblin Wizard because they cant learn the spells making them a D at spell casting cause you HAVE to rely on books which take up inventory and have limited uses.

[@user-fe3sx2hz4d]

What is the nature of the mod going to be?

[@fskin-pm]

Nothing huge, it will basically: - Restructure the game and make it longer (no branching paths) - Rebalance, redesign and add challenge - Add some content (new artifact, new bonus level) It's meant to be a really challenging hardcore+ mod but I will probably also offer an easier version for people who aren't looking for pain.

[@Fangreius]

Any update on the mod

[@fskin-pm]

Mostly testing and looking for bugs/desyncs at the moment. Should drop in the following months!

[@Paddlegoober]

Nah man insectoid kinda goated for warrior (I have 45 hours so I’m pretty well versed in this game)

[@fskin-pm]

Purely looking at melee builds, most races are pretty similar in power level! I don't think it matters too much what race you play with warrior.

[@chadshakespeare]

insectoid has zero traits that positively influence warrior in any regard
