Between Joseph and Dan, there's been a lot of changes since the last time I beat Gumband.

The bestiary is quite extensive now, that is, with new surprises. Quite a few new artifacts and such, and just about everything in theme with Moorcock's Eternal Champion novels (favorites of mine when I was a kid). As this variant is also based on Zangband, it was a nice blast of nostalgia (I haven't played Z in 5 or more years, though I actively follow its spurts of development).

I went the masochist route as usual, non-Preserve and max quests (75). This isn't really nasty until you get certain particular monsters at certain levels, like Grand Masters of Chaos (equivalent to the Mystics of other *bands), or summon happy Wyrms, etc.

I went the High Mage Chaos route for max spell fire. Chose Klackon because my previous attempts kept dying for lack of finding any major speed. Which is something to be noted: aside from Rings, it seems the big speed boosters in this game either avoided my character completely, or have been edited out. A random artifact shop makes for some interesting equipment possibilities--the "balancer" is that you can't "I"nspect the artifact until after you buy it, so you don't know quite what you're getting. Prices are rather affordable (for mid-end level characters). Lots of these have small boosts to speed, and as there are plenty of fast, heavy damage dealing uniques and monsters in Gum, you'll be spending some time mixing those artifacts with what you find in the game.

A four page Home inventory is a nice feature. Lots of surprising new monsters and uniques throughout the game was really cool too. Overall I thought this variant a challenge (perhaps part of choosing the Chaos mage, as he had no heal or close teleport spells), but it was quite fun nonetheless. Hope you keep updating it,
Dan!

Oops. Thought I had included some commentary about the final battle(s) on this dump. Guess not.

The first two Sword Rulers weren't too bad, but the last one (is it Arioch? I forget) was definitely nasty, as his speed was slightly faster than mine, so I was constantly getting double moved, which potentially was very dangerous. I also had to keep my distance so I wouldn't have my charges drained (seems like a *ton* of monsters do this in Gum).

Actually this reminds me of another comment: sidhi bulls are just nasty monsters. 8500 hit points, breath *inertia*, pass through walls(!!!), these are absolute character killers if you get a bunch of them for a quest. This winner had, I believe, two quests for several dozen of them, but thanks to teleport (I *think* they don't resist teleport away), I was able to handle them. However, a recent follow-up character of this, a level 50 Sword Weaponmaster, died to them due to a lack of teleport and a means of dealing with three at once.

Anyway, the final Sword Ruler was quite a challenge with his speed and my running out of resources. I believe my Staff of the Magi blew up somewhere mid-fight, so I was left with 7-9 mana restores to finish the job, and it came close (as memory recalls) to me using everything up. Also disappointing was that all the Sword Rulers resisted the Breathe Logrus attack, so I was stuck with mana storm as my best means of dealing damage. But anyway, tenacity won out, and I guess a little luck with double moves not including Hand of Doom and some other nastiness.

Oh, and Cyberdemons are *especially* nasty in this variant (their rocket damage cap seems exceptionally high, even with resistance). And lots of bad guys near the end like summoning them.
