I haven't stuck with Angband, despite the fact that I was one of the more serious players at one point. Angband's glory days are over. When I play it I play either 3.0.6 or earlier or a patch Eddie...

OK, first off I can't believe you did much of this in your faster wins. I mean- I've been working on getting to 1500' in 50k turns, and.. it's all about finding stairs. Is getting a drop from an orc...

OK, but I think you're not addressing the question here. Why spend all that time killing some orcs? You could go down 1000' in the same amount of time. Unless you mean that you are killing some orcs...

That sucks. A few years ago, when I sucked at Angband, I decided to try to play faster. I was aiming at getting to 1000' in one trip with a warrior. I had sold everything so I could buy ?recall.

Really? I mean, I guess you're right if you add up the mana cost and compare it to the amount of damage done. But when I play Rangers I just avoid corridors full of zappables. Actually, I don't think...

I'm still trying to figure out why it should be changed. But I agree that if it is changed it should be changed so that you can target anything you can see. This still poses problems, when you have...

I think that's about it. And I think it is a feature when it comes to monsters that move. Hounds are balanced with that in mind. If you can't kill them in one shot they can still overwhelm you.
