Am I missing something or am I just the only non-*banding expert who's posting Sil dumps? This game is too hard.
I run away down the stairs and suddenly yet another group of orcs appear on the stairs (shouldn't they come one at a time? That must be a wide staircase for them to all come down at once) including a unique. So I go down a hallway to get away from them because their group ai means they won't follow me. Then I decide to drink a few potions to see if any of them will give me any buffs to help me fight the orcs. First one I drink is a potion of slowing. seems like in two moves I was surrounded. What happened to their group ai?? I thought I was safe at the other end of the hallway. How'd they know I was slowed?
This variant should be called "There's no escape!"
I really don't like having a small limited number of turns to spend at each depth. I always feel rushed. If I run away down the stairs, it uses an extra 100 turns so I end up deeper faster when I was already at a depth I couldn't survive.
Maybe I should stick to DaJAngband.
PS: I have yet to see a single mode of magical ID in the game. Is there any? Or do we have to ID everything by use? In which case the first one of any good potion/scroll is wasted on being IDed. In a short game where magic items are so scarce, this is bad.
EDIT/PPS: In this game, I always feel like I need more tools to help me defend myself. I see monsters that will probably kill me, then start going the other direction and see more monsters. (hence NoescapeBand) So I look in my inventory for something that will help and all I have is a bunch of nonmagical weapons and armor and a potion of poison or slowing. Does ?phase door exist in this game? Even a wand of stinking cloud would really help sometimes.
