Also, the colours of some pairings +# including small snake/snake and yaktaur/yaktaur +# have been switched, following the same rule. +# Another important point of the change was to avoid +# the use of dark grey, which can be unreadable on some +# systems, and use light grey, white, or blue or another +# colour in its stead, as appropriate. +# +# We think that as a result of these changes monsters +# are coloured more consistently, and that their +# difficulty level should be easier to grasp for newbies. +# At the same time we realize that this change might be +# hard on experienced players. Of course we hope that +# you will be able to adapt, but in case there are +# changes you really cannot accept, here are the options +# necessary to make the glyphs of all affected monsters +# show up as they did in version 0.3.4. +# +# You'll find a table comparing old and new settings at +# the end of this file. + +########################### +# features +########################### + +feature =
