    Thanks Nick. I've got compilations working now, but looking at some of the files in my download makes me think I didn't get an up to date download.
    With this new version, I'm getting chunk_copy() level bounds failed going north from level:WEST_BELERIAND:19:PLAIN to EPHEL_BRANDIR:0

      Some minor issues:
      - an alarm trap I discovered by walking into it was not displayed properly until I returned to the area later
      - Vampire Form description claims it costs 50% of your HP, but the actual cost is 25%
      - Soul Siphon description should mention that it only works on living monsters (the name does hint at this, but it should be spelled out)
      - shapechanger death messages don't reliably indicate the monster's true race (not sure if this bug occurs every time or only occasionally)
      - I have not tested this myself, but Eriloth says interacting with the letter "รบ" in a character history causes the game to crash

      There's a lot of minor typos and grammar errors, I should probably get around to fixing those myself at some point and sending a pull request; although some of them will break savefiles like the lords of misrule did.
      The Complainer worries about the lack of activity here these days.

        This one is fixed now (by taking all those characters out of history - ideally we would have better handling of them).

        My feeling is that most of the major bugs are now fixed. Probably time to add new features and introduce more bugs.

          A couple of observations:
          Speed is really hard to get. In a long game with quite a lot of time at L99 and L100, partly because Morgoth was hard to find, I found exactly 1 ring of speed (+3 I think). +4 was the most speed I ever saw on a ring or amulet.(Apart from the OP ring mentioned earlier.) I did see 3 rings of power, but these had no speed.

          The game is really promising and fun.

            Thanks for the comments. I may have to tweak jewellery chances a bit.

              I haven't been online for months now but i would like to know what's the current state of FirstAgeAngband. Is it stable? Last time i remember playing iwas ok but a few bugs here and there.

                It still has some bugs, but less. I don't think there are many (if any) that cause crashes now, and the balance is mostly OK. There are some problems with hybrid dungeon mode still.

                  What's wrong with throwing in FAngband? I started a druadan warrior in angband.live, took Mighty Throw specialty at the beginning and was lucky enough to find some enchanted spears and throwing axes of shocking. But they do miss all the time. I don't think I've gotten one hit in and I've tried again and again. Bows work normally.

                  Character is leveled up to CL 21 and has 18/100 something STR and 13 DEX. Axes are supposed to do about 80 dmg but this way, they're useless. Well not completely useless, one of those axes currently serves as my melee weapon.

                    That's the nightly beta, right, not 1.4.4?

                      In angband.live, I cannot choose the version to play. It's 1.4.4 by default.
                      In character dump the version is not shown at all, except in the file text:

                        Ah, OK (the 2.0 beta is if you select firstageangband).

                        The answer is that in 1.4.4 only assassins and (to a lesser extent) rogues are any good at throwing in the early game. Warriors will get better later.

                          Thanks.

                          To me, it was a transparent mechanic. Or I just assumed because I did not read warrior class description. Is the 'gets better later' mentioned there? Throwing matters greatly in the early game (if it is effective) and I would've never chosen Throwing bonuses for starting skill, had I known this.

                          From your answer, I take it that this is somehow fixed in 2.0.dev-version?

                            Possibly. If not, complain

                              I think throwing was actually bugged in 1.4.4 and didn't work, compared to my experience of O.

                                I have never had a throwing weapon hit in FA 1.4.4, if its the same code copied its probably bugged. I'll try with a rogue in 2.0 later.
