If you read this, maybe you can learn some hints for playing ADOM game so that you can win also!
I didn't post in other section because I didn't win or lose yet, but I reached D:50. I did many different things than the tactics and strategies most people seem to use. I played drakeling fighter and got staves and rocks and scurgari and unarmed all to Grand Mastery. I got the Healing skill and a few others. Music skill has been useful in this game, however it doesn't seem to work in the small cave. I also got various spells. And after experience level 13 I decided to play without using eating anything except for kobold corpse (including large, shaman), displacer beast corpse, fortune cookie, and corpses of unique creatures. I reached experience level 40 so far. I also found five amulets of life saving in the game (but, isn't it rare items?) and only used 1 so far, on the Cat Lord level.
Fire Temple: I just left all non-artifact equipment in the pack except for a leather armor of damnation (I had fire blanket). I didn't have the problems everyone says, about fire damage, dizzyness, etc. The dizzyness didn't cause enough damage to kill me. I survived without any healing at all, and even entered the tower while sick. I really can't tell why it is so much of a problem, it doesn't seem that to me!
Tactics: I could generally hit often enough even with coward tactics. I always used coward tactics when casting spells or zapping wands or running away. Berserk tactics are useful when fighting doppelganger kings, when throwing rocks (if in a safe place), or fighting the holder of the earth orb. I still have high DV even when berserk, so I still didn't get hit very often. The Tactics skill helps.
Air Temple: At first I didn't know that the left side destroyed items (I lost all my wands of destruction in that way), but then I figured out how to do it, put everything other than artifacts drop on right side of the level, and fight them using only spells.
Mana Temple: The traps do a lot of damage, but using a blessed wand of trap detection can allow you to detect them without activating them. When reaching the door, I couldn't get a straight line to the holder of mana orb at first, but after using spells and missiles and wands a bit, I managed to get in and fight them by melee instead.
Bugs: I have found several bugs in ADOM. There is a bug when walking toward mimics, you stop in the wrong place. Also, using the look command to look at the mana anomaly doesn't work.
