Thread: Advice needed - normal or ultra?

    Did it.

    My first win.

    Went for the normal door closing win - thanks for the advise.

    Dont think I could have gone in for the ultra anyway - does Sharad Waador always give needle? Because
    I dont think I got it.

    Got too tensed up on level 50 and zapped a wand of destruction without handling the second lever.
    I didnt know what the hell I was going to do, but thankfully the lever reappeared.

    Read 4 blessed scrolls of peace but still got corrupted, used up my WoW and RoDS -

    The balors were an education - the Humanoid seemed to work better than the demon slaying ammo,
    thanks for that

    The worst part was finding 3 wands of wishing AFTER I closed the damn gate...

    Feeling drained now

    Poor you for the three wands...
    or not. Only ever found one /game. foru in one is lucky. Besides, you might hacve wished for a tiny pup. for the girl.
    He always drop needle. blessed ID?
    Destruction does not destroy open levers.
    and about ultra... don't try it for the first.
    also, did you make a .svg? worth it XD





    Adley thinks your win is TAINTED by the use of ammo. be ashamed.

    Hey look. First win - big deal for me OK?

    And I saved the pup.

    Always go to the puppy cave first - if I survive - its a good omen
    Anthill on the otherside of the river

    And Im looking at the memorial file now

    29 artifacts, but "Cannot find Needle"
    Its on my laptop with a busted cable, will post the memorial file
    when its done.

    And obviously, I'm not worthy to talk about these things
    when people talk speedruns of less than 6000 turns -
    I took 238741

    But I'm still walking around with a goofy grin on my face.

    Of course you're worthy.

    Yes, it's true that there are some people with ridiculously good ADOM skills out there. (I'm not one of them.) You could give them a challenge game where they're not allowed to do anything but clean their ears, and they'd still find a way to win.

    But finishing a regular game, without cheating, is not easy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Good job.
    Your armor weakens, oh my!
