Started with max possible evasion, some melee. Later I find an excellent spear. Found it bit better than expected, then later I saw it is Aeglos. Sweet although it seems even artifacts are only slightly better than normal stuff.
Also got some forging gloves which I hope will come in handy later.
Really good start, but it's a very hard game and I've never survived past the Trolls and first Wraiths before so I'm prepared for the worst.
Now some sleep, lost point of con was a mistake from not taking a break when I should have.

Nice start! Aeglos is an excellent find, a top tier weapon.
You're right that artefacts aren't vastly stronger than regular good items. This is partly since the game is so much shorter than regular Angband there isn't a need to have so much stretch of equipment upgrades from the start to the end. We generally aim for artefacts to be about as good as or a little better than top non-artefact items, but interestingly different in some way. That said, I wonder if you're underestimating how good the cold brand on the spear is: relatively few enemies resist cold, so your attack will really be (+10, 2d12) against most foes.
Given your weapon, you might like to have a look at Polearm Mastery. It lends itself to a different play pattern in combat, so think about whether that would suit you before you take it, but if you play it right you can get quite a lot of value out of it.

I have a dream -- where I create a throwing specialist who finds Aeglos. It's like the Dailir of throwing weapons :)
Good luck, Thraalbeast. Sil's a doozy of a game, but very rewarding to play!

Well, you can always take throwing after you find Aeglos.

I'd never thought of throwing Aeglos. That would be very powerful, as would Polearm Mastery.

Thanks! Aeglos and Polearm mastery is a very effective combo. The first "T" ran right into the spear and lost 80% of it's life just getting close enough to melee me. Two rounds later it was dead.
Again, I'm really impressed with Sil! At first I thought it's just a stripped down Angband. But then I saw thing after thing so nicely tuned ... The AI combined with the stealth effect makes the dungeon more alive than you would expect from a roguelike. Orcs jumping out of the stairs to surprise you is fun and makes stair-hugging less effective. I also like that they use stairs to flee.
Building the character is also well balanced, lot's of powerful choices but just like in software development you can't get it all ("meets the specification, in time, on budget - choose two!") E.g. Spending all xp on evasion and avoiding armour looks like a simple way to make the game easy, but then you meet the first archers and realize the limitation of this. etc.
Thanks for developing and supporting Sil!

How bad is wrath? I thought the dungeon was very hostile. Still, with Aeglos I've coped so far.
Is it a no-brainer to drop the wrath-inducing suit of armor?
On 27.8.2012 15:31 debo wrote:
With low stealth, it's not a huge deal -- everyone is going to see and chase you anyways. It changes the monster AI too -- I think it turns all monsters to AGGRESS, which will make them more likely to chase you down corridors instead of obligingly waiting at the mouth until you charge them to oblivion.
In this case, though, I would trade your mail corselet for the leather armor of permanence. It looks like you got it damaged by acid? 2d3 isn't that much different than 1d4 (although the average protection is much better), and you're currently taking a -3 to evade and a -1 to attack just to gain a bit of damage absorption.
FYI, when surrounded by worms, Herbs of Rage are very helpful.

Also, why are you wearing that pair of gauntlets, when you have another sitting in your inventory with the same evasion + protection, but no attack penalty? :)
On 27.8.2012 15:53 Thraalbeast wrote:
Thanks. Will swap gaunts and armour.
I once got stuck in a mess of green worms and lost a piece of armour, that's why I kept the Gauntlets of the Forge safe. But then the other gaunts where 1d2 so they were also better.
Did not know the mail was of wrath, dumped immediately after getting Lore-Master.
Again, thanks for providing this excellent game as well as good advice!

Haha -- you're welcome. I have nothing to do with the game development though. I just love playing it!
In case you haven't seen it yet, I have a youtube channel w/ video tutorials if you're looking for hints or guidelines on how to play:

Fauloth RIP due to missing all saving throws vs an invisible Lurking Horror. Walked carefully with brightness on, suddenly I see the "you miss ..." message. Oops, must have ran into an invisible monster. Let's see if I can hurt it, just one attack. Miss. What, I fall into a trance? WTF. More trance ... RIP. Never got the chance to move again.
What bugs me is I had just spent a huge load of XP on getting dodging and sprinting. My guess is that increasing Will from 2 to at least 8 would have been a better move. Never found free action, nor a forge except when XP was not enough to forge non-basic stuff.
Otherwise, evasion + melee and Aeglos was very powerful. I very seldom got into real problems after getting Aeglos. Will start again of course. In fact already have :-)

You just fell victim to a very nasty bug. Monsters that bite to entrance in this game will very likely chain-entrance you once they get the first hit off.
Someone contributed a fix already for 1.1, but until then, I'd strong advise not fighting anything dark-casting between 400-700' unless you're sure it's a shadow spider / shadow bat. (Even those are very deadly.)
A good run, anyhow!
On 28.8.2012 14:15 debo wrote:
BTW, when you are entranced, your evasion is fixed at -5. So, any investment in evasion will not help you there (aside from helping you dodge the first hit that entranced you in the first place.)
On 28.8.2012 15:02 Scatha wrote:
There is a bug which stops protection from breaking the chain entrancing, but that wouldn't have helped you here anyhow. We're also changing the game rules to stop it chaining altogether; it isn't entirely clear that it's unfair, as you can avoid it with good Will, but it's not a very fun way to die. Sorry about that, and good luck on your future adventures!
Debo is right that the horror in this case was not invisible, but shrouded in darkness. The effects are similar (very hard to fight), but the ways to deal with it differ. For invisible (hard to see) monsters, Perception and True Sight help. Against darkness, you want more light radius, try to fight in lit rooms, etc. The Perception ability Keen Senses will help against both.

Look out for Spiders of Gogrorath(sp?). These are very notorious for setting off that kind of 'chain-reaction' trance!!
