a couple questions

[Pete Mack]

NPP had a quiver first. Then NPP 0.5 came along and I couldn't stand it--just wall to wall monsters. Too exhausting. I do like the terrain system tho.

No it doesn't - don't think it ever has? Destruction works on uniques but unlike older versions it also removes artifacts from the area, so best avoided in vaults.
Balrog of Moria has same hit points and found at the same depth (2500') as the original Balrog in uMoria. His escorts are pretty weak now too - just orcs and trolls.

(apparently making the slightest little tweak breaks a lot of tiles.)

If you're using windows, it's in the window menus - options -> graphics -> none.

Oops, yeah, DaJAngband wasn't the first. I take that back. DJA had it before V anyway.
I think I tried a couple games of NPP one time. I honestly don't remember anything about it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to look there, thanks.
