yay, it's an awesome game.
here's my recent winner:
http://angband.oook.cz/ladder-show.php?id=10146
he was somewhat over-prepared but that's not a bad thing.
he took off his crossbow and shield though (they were aggravating) which is why he's down on HP. here's a tip (if you ever get that far) the heavy crossbow of umbar +good seeker bolts of acid will take sauron down *fast*. each bolt that hits will take a star (that's 1000+HP per bolt, it's nasty).
don't discount missile weapons by the way, they are way overpowered in angband at the moment.
