I'm thinking about replacing Morgoth with a new end monster and putting him in dungeon level 50.
Reasons:
- Fay is very frustrating in the depths, as seen in the latest competition.
- I want to keep the risk of character death high, but that isn't fun in a game with 100 levels. Finishing the game shouldn't take an eternity.
- Morgoth doesn't really make sense in Fay. I want a non-Tolkien boss monster.
- Moria had 50 levels, and I think I like it better.
I'm also considering removing greater vaults and eventually replacing them with "interesting rooms". I have a seriously hacked dungeon and room generation code coming up, but it doesn't play nice with greater vaults.
It may well be that greater vaults don't really belong in Fay-style semi-ironman dungeons anyway. Based on the competition, they are more frustrating than fun.
And again, Moria didn't have greater vaults so I don't need them either.
What do you think?
