The battle was named Dragor Bragollach because of the fires that were unleashed from the Iron mountains. It was during the Dagor Bragollach, the fourth battle of the Battles of Beleriand, when Glaurung was set loose. On August 14th 2018, Dean Anderson announced the 6.0 release of Cthangband on the Angband forums: announcement post Morgoth had Glaurung contained in the pits of Angband for two more centuries. Version 6.0 was the result of a complete re-write of the game in C#, which took over a year to complete, and consequently this version is Windows-only. It would later be the Dark Lords primary stronghold, the capital of his dark realm known as Dor-na-Daerachas. Nearly fifteen years after the release of Cthangband 4.1.0, Dean Anderson (the original maintainer) took back control of the game and released Cthangband 5.0.0 - a version that reverted many of the 4.0.0 changes and re-instated the class-and-level system. Angband, also known as the Iron Prison, was the ancient fortress of the Dark Lord Melkor in the depths of the Iron Mountains that was built after the destruction of the Two Lamps as an arsenal of Utumno. Kieron Dunbar took his many patches for Cthangband 4.1.0 and turned them into his own variant, sCthAngband. While this version was popular with some players, the maintainer was unhappy with it and regretted its implementation going so far as to pass maintainership onto someone else (David Thornley).ĭavid Thornley quickly released Cthangband 4.1.0, but then never released another version and the game became defunct. The next major change was in Cthangband 4.0.0, which saw a large overhaul to the game mechanics replacing the traditional class-and-level system with a skill system. It aims to increase the tactical depth, decrease the grind, and otherwise keep the lovely Vanilla feel of Angband. Copyright (c) 2018-2019, MAngband Project Team. I have returned to curse the world with a new Angband variant.

which was released in 1998, and included only very minor changes to Zangband 2.1.0 - the existing variant upon which the code was based.Ĭthangband 3.0.0 included a wilderness system with multiple towns and dungeons, and this broke save-game compatibility with previous versions. So, Ive stupidly posted a full forum dump on a private Discord channel, then made it public. The first version of Cthangband was Cthangband 2.1.0. Because CthAngband is set in the Dreamlands, it features a whole new world of dungeons and dungeon guardians, the majority of which are Lovecraft-based. Some of the new features of Cthangband include new races, classes, magic systems, and a wilderness with multiple towns and dungeons. Cthangband is an Angband variant written by Dean Anderson and set in H.P. Attached to Project: Community Packages Opened by Andreas (andmars) - Thursday, 08 March 2018, 10:30.
