After about three years of on and off playing Angband, finally (!) scored a victory.

- The last time I played was about a year ago. Decided to install the new beta version to give it a spin. This meant I had no recourse to a decent monster memory.

- As I said, my last Angband game was about a year ago and it was my best ever -- a sure win, actually, killed by sheer stupidity, cockyness and that summoning bitch, the emperor Quylthulg. I had Feanor (and speed > 20 unhasted), the rings of power, the amulets and the lights, all resistances, all dungeon books, etc.

- Because of this, my strategy was actually quite simple: *slowly* descend to the bottom of the dungeon. Back out at the least teensy bit of trouble -- with no speed and stealth to speak of, and even lacking decent resistances you want to stay around the stairs, grab what's on the floor and go only for the (really) easy battles. This entailed a fair bit of yo-yoing through the levels.

- The ride ended up being rather smooth. In all the game until Morgoth's defeat there were only a couple of times I really thought "This is it, I am dead." Once, was when I landed in the middle of a Time Hound pack; another when Tarrasque (my nemesis and the deadliest killer of my high-level characters) brough me to about 1/4 of my Hps with a single bad breath of his. A third, was already very late in the game, and I decided to sleep with Gothmog within telepathy range. With no fire immunity or temp resistance up, you know where this is going -- but this was probably my only too-sure-of-myself moment in all the game. Otherwise, I always acted completely paranoid.

- Artifacts treacled slowly but surely. My first decent find was Gurthang (rPoison, Yay!) at about 360k turns, dl 36, cl 16. I parked around this dungeon level for a while, but then finding nothing important, started descending again. At about 650k turns (dl 40, cl 24) I found Thranduil giving me Telepathy (probably, the single most valuable survival aid). At about 880k turns found Galadriel (dl 66, cl 28). Galadriel is a sort of a good luck charm. Whenever I find it, I know it is going to be a good game (that will end up in some utterly stupid death). At 950k turns, dl 84, cl 29 I found Thorin and a little later, and a little deeper, Balli Stonehand. It was going to be a very good game.

- By this point I had almost all resistances covered. Soon after I found a +11 ring of Speed boosting speed to > 20 unhasted. By then I also had all the dungeon books. Mages rock: hounds or those annoying Quylthulgs giving you trouble? Banish them. Clear vaults? (Mass) Banish the crap out of them. Life is good with Kelek. Thorin gave me the first immunity, but Vilya and Eonwe soon joined my gear.

- Until then I had killed very few uniques -- for an example, Bullroarer was killed only at about 980k turns, dl 93, cl 32. In fact one could divide my game in two distinct parts: the first half where I slowly got to the end depths (dl > 90) of the dungeon and a second half where I went about killing uniques. This second half took a long time, even though by then I was very powerful and most of the uniques were complete pushovers. A notable example is Saruman: I never ever had killed him before, or in fact even *tried* to kill him before. A complete pushover.

- At about 1370k turns another turning point: in quick succession, I found Cubragol (which I ended up never using because Bard is so good and because of better arrow availability), Feanor and a +20 ring of speed . This landed me in the > 40 speed region. If i had worn Cubragol and Ringil I would be in the > 60 region but I suffered in hps and I noticed that there was no big difference going from 30's to 40's. My kit was basically completed at this point.

- Once I reached this speed point, high time for dealing with the big boys starting with the Mouth of Sauron: tough bastard with those Mana / Darkness storms and heavy summoning. But with an offensive arsenal containing Bard with all the arrows I could muster, powerful offensive spells like Shockwave (and daze your foes, yay!), Rift, Chaos Strike (that can cause confusion even in uniques!) and Mana Storm, powerful escapes like Teleport Self and Other, and Greater Recharging allowing me virtually infinite charges in Staff of the Magi and Staff of Healing I managed to kill him - this at about 1375k turns. Slowly, with more or less difficluty, all the other baddies fell. Tarrasque and Ancalagon proved to be pushovers, which was highly satisfying, especially Tarrasque, my nemesis and the biggest cause of Angband grief. Finally, I was down to the emperor Quylthulg and Gothmog and reached level 50 soon after. I had fire immunity only from Azaghal but it hurt me hps-wise wearing it, so I was not very keen on facing Gothmog and have my books and staves burn up in flames. And even to this day, I am not sure how to take down the emperor Quylthulg, so I decided to go after Sauron and Morgoth. Morgoth's was an especially long battle, where I had to teleport to heal in safety at least twice, but there was never a doubt in my mind that I would eventually take him down.

- I do not know if this new Angband version is easier or more difficult than previous ones - it sure has a few bugs, or at the very least weird behaviour. For starters, Healing restores your hps to a maximum instead of what the description says. For a mage with Greater Recharging this is... just great. Another strange thing is that Mana Storm's failing rate is 14% at level 50 and with int maximized. Somehow this does not seem right.

- This one sounds definitely like a bug: I managed to land in level 100 and see Morgoth before killing Sauron.

- The "find rates" of objects have some weirdnesses also: in my object memory, there is still one staff, two wands and seven potions unidentified. I have never found one ego-item of the cursed, bad sort -- have they disappeared from the game? Found very few longswords (was *very* surprised of getting my hands on Ringil) but lots of Zweihanders and Katanas. Stat potions are definitely more rare, I only maximized my stats at about 1250k turns when I was already parked at levels 98 / 99. About the new objects do not have much to say. The mushroom findings were so rare that I never used them -- there are still two left unidentified.
