Differences, Angband and Moria?
Just noticed that Kubuntu has Moria in it's repositories.
From what I gather, Angband was based off a derivative of Moria so... can someone fill me in a bit? Is Moria worth checking out as well, and what is different about it, compared to Angband? |

Essentially Angband has a lot more items, monsters, a more advanced inventory (in particular the squelch system)...and colors ![]() Recently, with the release of v4, the combat system changed a lot. You may be interested in some variant, too. Each one as something to offer (quests, town services, new races/classes, different combat systems and so on). |

Moria had versions with color, too.
Broadly speaking, Angband is Moria in Texas -- everything is bigger. The dungeon's only 50 levels in Moria, the level cap is 40 (but most people won by clvl 35 IIRC), there's no artifacts or superpowered ego-items (I think the best you could hope for was Resistance, Defender, or Holy Avenger), the monster list is shorter (and there's no unique monsters), the player's stats are lower, there's fewer spells in the spellbooks, et cetera... |

Some variant that reallly has everything (ToME, Zangband, something like that) would be Moria in Texas. That makes me think of Slash'em (super lotsa added stuff hack -extra magic). One thing that isn't bigger in Texas: gas prices. gas prices tend to be lower (at least in my area) than most of the country.

![]() It's recommended if you essentially want to play moria with the modern angband UI, same number of dungeon levels (50), revamped monsters, items and spells lists (cutting the boring ones, and with a few additions and edits), fewer races and classes than angband (in a well-tought way). |
