As the description says: When generating a demo description, kills by hot tiles are not counted, so rooms that you conquer by killing everything on a hot tile will have the description "The player is just passing through.".

Edit: Wait, that's not right. The problem seems to be more specific. Anyway, I noticed it in a room where the only kills are rock golems on hot tiles, and there's no conquer token.

In what rooms does this occur? If I look at my demo for Deep Uncturage 1E it appropriately says something about laying waste to a handful of monsters

Edit: DU 3E does say "Just Passing through", only golems there, but 2E which has both golems and roaches says "...handful of monsters".

Edit2: I can confirm that when killing a golem on a hot tile it does not count toward the demo description. Killing it with your sword does count it. Killing roaches on a hot tiles does count them. Definitely a bug it seems.

Thanks. Fixed.

Mike, should we recycle old topics or create new ones for related bugs?

In any case, attached is a screenshot of the F6 screen, for a room in the Archive Catacombs. I'm still not sure how "conquer" tokens count, but I'm pretty sure I didn't step on the token on move 125. (In fact, watching the demo, I seem to have stepped on it on move 103, and then killed the roach on move 104.) Could it be counting clone-switching "moves"?

Of course, again in the "not clear on how these things work" category, what should my move count actually be? 103, when I stepped on it? 104, which is the first point at which the room was clear and I had stepped on it? 113, because I didn't step on it after the room was clear?

Whatever your turncount was when you first stepped on the Conquer Token becomes your score for the room - easy as that.

So in such rooms, it's a race to the token before killing all enemies...

np: The Postal Service - Be Still My Heart (We Will Become Silhouettes)

That's what I thought. So my score should be 103; I'll be interested to see what the spider thinks my score is.

Do you still have to leave the room? That's...crazy?

Yes, it is incorrectly tallying those non-moves. Thanks for reporting this. I've fixed it.

Not only do you have to leave the room, you also have to kill all monsters just the same - it's just that your score will be the number of turns it took you to get to the token...

np: Styrofoam - The River Breaks (Putting The Morr Back In Morrissey (Disc 1))
