-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 16 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 14 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.

 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.

Pretty standard build really. Had some trouble early in the game with bad sergeant placement, but as you can see I had plenty of health packs to last me through the game. I found a lot of awesome equipment like revenant launcher, jackhammer, and laser rifle that I never found in normal games, and I kept the firestorm pack just 'cuz I wanted to look at it on my player screen later.

I never had trouble after I got MVa except for when berserk wouldn't trigger, but again, large med packs and lots of armor helped me through. Also judicious use of the downstairs when it's surrounded by Ms and Bs. I'm pretty sure a 100% AoB run would be brutal as hell.

The Unholy Cathedral was mind bogglingly easy, I left with over 100% health because MVa makes that place trivial. Pain elementals become walking medkits with that trait. Lone archviles aren't that dangerous on HNTR with this build but if they're paired with anything stronger than a cacodemon then you should think carefully about how you approach the situation.

I found malek's armor soon after I got the LS which was nice but not entirely necessary. I got a ton of technical and bulk packs which weren't really that helpful. Got a few agility packs in the beginning which was really a lifesaver as I was able to boost my movespeed and knockback reduction enough to where sergeants didn't totally dick me over. Badass especially helped with this, but that didn't come 'til later.

Anyway, uh, yeah. I've already done an AoSh run and I died on the cybie on my last AoMr run because I didn't really know how dodging worked back then. Well, I still don't, just I know that it involves moving now. I think I'm going to try to win a standard game on HNTR, for some reason it seems more challenging to me with less restrictions because my build becomes too meandering and I invariably screw up somewhere along the line.

Also playing through the new version without spoilers (for the new stuff) is scary. I usually spoil myself when I come to a special level (especially for challenge games, wouldn't want to accidentally step into the Mortuary when all you've got is a chainsaw) but for example in the new armory in my AoMr game, it was quite difficult.

it wasn't too rough :) especially on the lower difficulties, this game is a lot more forgiving of a roguelike, and I come from a history of like, angband, ADOM, and crawl, so it's sorta breezy! also, i've played the older versions of doomrl, before the tactics thing was changed to running, but i never beat it back then.
