Just wondering, am I the only one who does this? I find myself restarting several times in order to get a town placement with the stairs close to the Home and ideally also close to the Black Market. As the game progresses, I hate having to run around the town when all I usually do is swap stuff at home or check the Black Market. Scumming to get a good layout rather than good treasure! Wish there was a way do just set the town up well without restarting sometimes more than a dozen times.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Let me see if I can recreate the proposed new town layout from the last time this came up...Code:####### #.....# <--- townspeople spawning area ###:### #.....# #.123.# #.4>5.# #.678.# #.....# #######

If I was building a town on top of Angband, I would probably choose that proposed layout over the current one.Glaurung, Father of the Dragons says, 'You cannot avoid the ballyhack.'Comment

I wouldn't want to live next to the black market.Comment

Open plan, surprisingly unspacious, yet handy for the shops. Close to all major transportation route.Comment

We could always make the layout of the town important by introducing a minigame where the town comes under attack and you have to barricade/blockade it strategically and set up defenses.My Chiptune music, made in Famitracker: http://soundcloud.com/patashuComment

Or just turn the town into a menu.

In competitions, where turn count is at a premium, I'd think people would restart to optimize the town to avoid unnecessary turns.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

Well, only use of town is to buy lantern, after this it is not worth returning.Comment

Lanterns aren't sold in the town any more, unless you get lucky with the Black Market.
