    Default Iris Raider - first Gnome Wizard win

    Hi,


    I have about a dozen wins as dwarf barbarian, this is the first time I've ever won playing a different race/class. Adom 1.2.0.

    A major factor in my win was probably an insanely lucky pool-draining early in the game: two wishes (girdle of giant strength and amulet of life saving), see invisible and some other useful traits.

    I thought the mana temple would be very hard/impossible for a spellcaster, but no. I had an emperor berserker companion with me who helped a bit, and by that stage I also had good stats and axe-skills. Not to mention the girdle of giant strength - very useful for a small gnome.

    ToEF was no problem at all with frost bolt. Magic missile turned out to be a very powerful spell that took care of a LOT of dangerous monsters. Don't think I had any really near death moments at all, guess it was just a very lucky game. Only thing missing is sting - I forgot or dropped needle somewhere so I didn't bother with the assassins after closing the gate.

            During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
     about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
     the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of

            In your youth you enjoyed competition against others to the

     you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,
     embittered by his old age. Your apprentice years were quite terrible.
            You decided to become a Wizard.

    I highly recommend you update your ADOM version. Yours is six years old, and even by ADOM standards that's a long time. So there's lots of new content you're missing (artifacts, locations, quests,...). Version 3.3.3. is the latest free release. Tiles can be conveniently switched off in the newer versions by hitting F8.
    gremlin - karmic lizard, dark orc, acid vortex, staring eye - dragon turtle, fairy dragon, ogre lord, minotaur emperor - pit viper, orc butcher - greater mimic, dark elven wizard, carrion crawler, dwarven child - imp - ochre jelly, dark elven archer, king cobra, goodwife - kobold shaman, magebane eye, floating eye, quickling king - giant centipede, hill orc sergeant, mimic hivemind, greater claw bug, brown bear, large gnoll - giant bee queen, giant ant warrior, shadow centipede, kobold

    (a) congratulations on diversifying your wins!

    (b) Cactus, thank you! I didn't know about F8, I play in ASCII, save & exit to switch to tiles when there are herbs so I can see when they drop to withered, save and exit to switch back to ASCII, and the next time I find herbs.... you just addressed my largest single irritation with playing ADOM.
