    Default Iron man

    Since I lack time to really play adom, i started trying iron man some days ago. I am no good player, but i beat the game like 3 times. I just wanted to share my noteworthy attempts here. Look at number 1:

    Died finally due to running away from revenants that poisoned me down to 1hp, and a troll gave me the last hit...

    Revenants are one of the worst enemies to show up in an ironman attempt (my other pet hate is karmic dragons). You'll soon learn which enemies to just keep running away from

    Why did you try grey elven ranger? Are you just using random?

    Drake priests and gnome elementalists are my favourite for the challenge, but I've never managed to reach I40.

    Yes, for the moment random in order to explore the challenge a bit. I noticed that healing is crucial (how obvious) but candle is also ok. The grey elf showed some nice features actually: great archery, 5 skill advances, fast learning, good skillset, 4 talents.

    The problem so far is that you always have to descend too soon. A lot of the challenge seems to be lucky with not bumping into the downstairs all the time, and correlated with that, levelling is so slow after some point... that#s why i try to get good learner.

    I guess dwarves and drakelings should be good, too. how about mindcraft in that ? (candle then)
