Easter win! I'm actually a bit shocked how well it went. False floors and subpar artefacts luck aside, I didn't really feel like I was playing an Edain. I thought I needed a better weapon to kill Morgoth, like a sharp 3 dice weapon, since I didn't have the extra firepower from subtlety like I had on my Beor, but Aeglos was more than enough.

Ring of Melian is so so nice to have, especially when I started the game with 1 base grace. With Cloak of Thingol and Kite Shield of Hador, I have 2 layers of elemental resists. I also have 2 layers of free action from Boots of Finrod and Cloak of Thingol.

Thought about stopping the run after finding Death's sting (one of the 7 artefacts I haven't seen before). It was already 20k turns though so I decided to just follow it through to the throne room.

Got a bit sloppy in the throne room when I let a bunch of loot disappear from chests and Morgoth himself since I didn't give them enough room to spawn. Honestly, it's pretty silly that loot can disappear at all. Should just make it spawn even further away. My guess is even Sils can disappear if they have no place to spawn. The lost loot isn't going to matter overall since Morgoth is already dead and I have pretty good gear already. But seeing it happen definitely is an annoyance. Probably missed a lot of artefacts this game between that mechanic and the false floors.

Other thoughts:

Wasn't originally going to take concentration but the synergy with Ring of Melian was too good to ignore. Add to that Orcrist, lack of lore-keeper and lore-master making perception abilities cheap, and it was a no-brainer.

Boots of Taur-nu-Fuin I kept even though I had Boots of Finrod because with that much perception, I was getting +5 to-hit against most mundane enemies with !grace and +4 without. That's better than 2 extra evasion as long as you aren't fighting against a new enemy/unique.

Had a ridiculous amount of protection in the mid-game before I shifted my build to better prepare for the throne room and become stronger overall. e.g. Mail Corslet of Fingon [-3,2d4]<+1> over Mail Corslet of Protection [-3,2d6]. Boots of Finrod [3,1d1] over Greaves of Free Action [-1,1d2].

Closest deaths were against Umuiyan (underestimated his damage and the terrain was difficult to fight in due to Kemenrauko) and Oikeroi and Tevildo (I got rather cocky with my protection and fought both at the same time without buffs and gave them flanking bonus. Then I _earthquaked and both died...but I might have missed some artefacts then since I didn't have a Mattock of Belegost).

I didn't find a single _treasures until throne room. Made finding artefacts and consumables much more difficult.

Cutting sils was laughably easy with a (-2,3d6) Battle Axe of Hador's House. 6 base strength. 9 strength with !strength. Wielded 2-handed gives 2 extra sides. Power. And singing song of sharpness. 3d17 (would be 3d18 but the battle axe was only 4 lbs, so it could only utilize 8 strength with momentum).

Had an awkward moment around 21k turns when my only source of rFire was War Hammer of Telchar, but I didn't have enough damage to kill serpents without wielding it two-handed. So I would toss my shield (wasn't fireproof) across the hall each time I see one. I had a lot of strength so it would fly far and one time, it landed against a wall and shattered. I didn't think that could even happen. So I was shieldless for a while. For some reason I didn't find a single shield for thousands of turns.

Reason I had so many weapons was I wasn't sure which would be best to kill Morgoth with. Had a great axe too which I dropped after Morgoth died.

Think I have 3 strength starts down fairly well now. Only took I think 1 or 2 dead Hadors before one made it. The difference of having 2 or 3 strength is humongous, though I haven't tried taking power on 2 strength starts to make up for the lower strength.
