-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 712 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
613 of those were killed.
12 of those were killed by something unknown.
32 didn't read the thermonuclear bomb manual.
And 31 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 24 souls claim to have killed him...
1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
22 killed the bastard and survived.
1 showed that it can outsmart hell itself.

It might seem at first that AoDD is just a slightly different rapid weapon run, but when you get down to it, it plays out with some significant differences.
First, when you start out, your to-hit bonus is actually pretty inadequate until perhaps level 4 or even 6, so after a few chaingun runs that terminated early, I tried using shotguns. However, those runs didn't get past midgame, I can't seem to manage shotguns mid/late game on N! as the single target damage per second is rather low compared to rapid weapons and even pistols (although I can theoretically see how it can work with Berserker.) So quickly I figured out the trick - play it out with a combat shotgun early on, then switch to chainguns and the like once you have enough to-hit bonus.
However, you can never afford Cateye on AoDD (if you went EE->EE->CE, you'd have no hitting power) so playing without it was an adventure. Since you can't see farther than enemies, it's very difficult to ensure you don't walk into a pack of them, which really hurts. With chainguns, often you don't have too much ammo to spare to fire off into space, so you can't afford to test enemy locations that way.
Having that extra health probably made a difference though, and it allowed the same medpacks to go a lot further.
Malek's armor (or any armor with 100% durability) is still pretty fragile. Simply spawning in a room with 2 Cacos and 1 Archvile (with sight of those Caco corpses) and 1 Mancubus in the next room was enough to destroy it.
Cyberdemon got the first shot off on me, which is rare, but in this case the lack of Cateye made the difference, since it happened that it spawns in a place where there was no cover between us. The extra health went a long way in the fight though. I could shoot three times from the open before needing to take time to heal, which is something that doesn't occur normally.
Only N! AoPc and AoB left (the AoD win wasn't notable)! I hope I beat them soon!
