My second go at this fork. The smithing strategy is a bit different than in regular Sil, basically, Jeweller is less useful because Artistry is removed. I think this is a good change, because it makes smithing useful in the midgame. I still miss having Song of Aule, though. I don't know if Morgoth will be killable with this gear, since he has been made much harder to kill with the removal of song of slaying and song of sharpness. Fortunately my weapon is overpowered.

I manged to kill Morgoth, but it was quite a shit show, and I think that even with an overpowered character you need a great deal of luck (or just archery).

Since there is no song of slaying in this variant, I decided to walk over to the secret passage and camp with a light source in case there were lots of amethyst serpents. Picked up a corslet of resilence and helm of true sight that dropped in case there were cat assassins since they are very dangerous to robe characters. This ended up being useful later. Following that, by the time Morgoth came around, I was able to run out into the center area and use rage to clean up remaining popcorn. Then Ungoliant showed up so I killed her. Then there were ~4 unrelenting horrors left. To kill those I dug a path and ran around in circles to lose Morgoth for a bit, then wailed on one until it died, ran around to restore HP, and repeat, since I have great speed on my robe.

In this fork Morgoth has "phases" where he becomes more powerful as his HP goes down. I didn't know what to expect here, but I figured that I would want as much space as possible to maneuver, so I dug out a big area around the bottom of the throne room. I turned on rapid attack and flank danced him like I do in normal Sil, and it worked, except a lot worse, and I managed not to die. In his "desperate" phase Morgoth's attack is VERY high, he was hitting me quite often even with 35 effective evasion. I got lucky here, but I feel like you can get trapped healing, Morgoth will recover his HP, and you won't be able to turn the momentum around, so you'd have to cut a sil and bail out. Fortunately I got lucky here because I have a frost branded sharp sword.

I like that there are shafts on the ascent.

Anyway, this was a neat fork. I like the Will and Song improvements, though I do miss song of slaying and song of aule. Light weapons are definitely a lot worse in the throne room in this fork, but that seems to have been a design goal. I probably would've killed morgoth more easily if I had made a greatsword or bastard sword and used a bunch of strength rings instead. my usual subtlety + rapid attack was rather underwhelming vs. morgoth compared to regular sil where you can usually kill him in under 10 turns. Strength and heavy weapons are definitely favored in this fork, but I cleared most of the game with just a 2d6 longsword of nargothrond. Removing artistry was definitely a good change. It would be nice if the mpa-sil quality of life improvements were merged into this fork, too, like being able to look up enemies without needing a perception ability. Alchemy is also a good substitute for loremaster.

Also there is a small bug on sil-cutting: if you use hjklbyun for movement, trying to cut a sil will just move you instead, so I had to turn those off to cut sils.

Congrats!

Congrats! This is the first melee kill of Morgoth in Sil-Q I think!

Ctrl-K is destroy when you have hjkl enabled, but I don't think the text is clever enough to say that. This is worth me fixing though.

Very happy that you enjoyed the run and liked the changes. I've merged a number of the mpa-sil tweaks, but have also hung back on several which I thought weakened the game's aesthetic to save experts from book-keeping. Looking up enemies without a perception ability might be justifiable though. Are there any others you'd note as especially helpful?

Mostly starting with curved swords equipped and monster memory. In theory you can memorize what each monster does anyway, it's just a pain. Maybe it's relevant to not have enemy knowledge if you are fighting Morgoth and he is changing phase, but he is too powerful for most characters to kill by phase 3 anyway. I don't know if Mewlips still maprot in this fork but removing that would be a good change too.

Mewlip maprot has been removed already. :)
