 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 killed the bastard and survived.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Well, after all my tries to beat he game on AoM ('medium' rating) I was feeling I had been losing enough so I started an AoB game so I could win for a change and I did just that :D
You only have to rush to the chained court and after that you just walk through everything you encounter. The Angel fell after 3 or 4 hits on berserk and cybie died after two hits (also on berserk).
I even entered The Mortuary and cleared out the right half and slaughtered quite a few of the other side, but didn't want to rist my vicotry on a suicide berserk charge :p

So, now I can get back to AoM

Very nice work! It is easy to understand that beating game on various difficulties with maximum possible kills grants you various ending levels. On ITYTD final level is usually 6 or 7, on NTR it is, as you see, level
7-9, on HMP it is 10-12. I wonder, on Nightmare! it will be, logically, 16-18? Just imagine, how many perks you can pick! Maybe some opinions, what perks to take on this difficulty and in what order? (My excuses to DaEezT for posting on his topic a little out of his subject, but just wandered when taked a look on his mortem))).

Edit several hours later, when beat the AoI on UV. UV, i suppose, level 11 - 13. Then Nightmare! won't be 16-18, it will be 13-15

While this would be true in theory I made different observations while playing. My ITYTD victory characer was level 9 for example because I was able to clear out the Mortuary and double ammo meant I could really kill everything I encountered.
My AoM characters on NTR are usually level 7 around floor 20 and 8 when I meet cybie and don't get any higher because I can't kill large groups of strong enemies (expecially in combination with AVs).
As for normal games, I think you might have ammo problems if you kill everything on higher difficulties. Remember, not all enemies drop ammo. Actually, only a minority does drop ammo (humans). All those though barons and AVs don't give you any ammo so unless you go melee and/or AoB your maximum level will be determined by the amount of ammo you found.


Maybe some opinions, what perks to take on this difficulty and in what order? .
I more or less did what Krishh said. Picked brute(1) first for damage then tan(1) for survival. After that I went im(1), im(2), tan(2), brute(2), tan(3), im(3).
I figured that a larger health pool might be useful when charging tough baddies and the im/tan combo is always useful :)

As for other challanges, there is a post about picks forAoM in discussion and I haven't played any toher challanges yet so I dunno about them.

Yes, now i realized that i'm wrong, on UV i've got only level 12, while on HMP i have 11 (YAAM on HMP) , but on UV i cleared all special levels i found(maybe i haven't found Unholy Cathedral, but it's not 2 exp.levels worth). There is big probability that on Nightmare! you will have only 13 or maximum 14 level.

Don't worry for me, i can clear them ALL.))
