Deferred and defunct features (SlashTHEM)

SlashTHEM was once a variant of Slash'EM Extended v75 - from the v0.8.0 release up until v0.9.3 and 0.9.4, a "Great Cleanup" occurred that either reverted or removed many of those features in order to bring the game much closer to vanilla SLASH'EM and subsequently iterate from that point. Some of these features that originated in Slash'EM Extended still remain in the code in a partial form - these deferred and defunct features for SlashTHEM are listed below.

For the sake of brevity, this article will focus on features that still have code in the most current versions; as of this writing on October 5th, 2022, the latest version of SlashTHEM is v0.9.7.

Asgardian

The Asgardian was a playable race specific to Slash'EM Extended. Among other things, they had a 30% chance to gain a random intrinsic the first time they reached a given experience level.

Starting races

Some starting races from Slash'EM Extended that were already present in SlashTHEM were renamed as part of the aforementioned Great Cleanup, while still retaining some of their previous traits.

Gigant

The gigant was a starting race that corresponded to playable giants; they were renamed to simply "giant" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.

Ogro

The ogro was a starting race that corresponded to playable ogres; they were renamed to simply "giant" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.

Trollor

The trollor was a starting race that corresponded to playable trolls; they were renamed to simply "troll" in SlashTHEM v0.9.3-0.9.4.
