That is surely a regression. Or it is a really terrible longstanding bug.

I only saw Radagast once, briefly (I fled up the stairs after he jumped out of a diagonal vault.) I died stupidly shortly thereafter, to a skull druj. (ESP surely would have helped, but my only...

Well, sort of. You'd need to hack the pref file, keeping only the terrain data, and leave everything else alone.

Yeah, I mean Gorlim. Of course. Castsmir doesn't cast often enough to be dangerous.

Kavlax and Castamir the Usurper are the first really dangerous uniques, that can easily take you before you get a useful turn. Castamir does huge water damage that stuns and confuses, and can easily...

It's impossible to guess what went wrong, beyond the basic knowledge of a memory error. You need a diff of the code compared to the original. However, you can be sure the error isn't in the...

Archeron-
The full Android port already has V 4.2.2, Frog (Selmiak), Sil-Q 1.4.2, and NPP 0.4.1 and 0.5.4

That's what _Tele is for, until you get ESP and/or detection. Unless you can reliably kill them in a single turn, they are too dangerous to fight.

It *might* be reasonable to give a minimum of 1 spell from the start. Beyond that, I don't see why this even matters. If your INT is that bad, you won't be able to cast more than the very basic (i.e....

"Score" in many variants is roughly proportional to EXP divided by total moves. But once you hit CL 50, experience is no longer counted, since it has no real value.

@Grotug--
True enough. But if you are more than a few squares away, you are safe for one breath. I don't actually know what the minimum distance is, but 10 squares is surely enough.
