yeah, i liked that game. lots of interesting situations =)
i was going for 15lvl AoM to become a lieutenant, which i achieved. after hitting lvl19 i thought its possible to complete the challenge, which i didn't =)
enter to arena wuz generated at lvl2 and i wuz still lvl1 at that moment. but still i decided to fight =) going for some xp... and a damned fool i am, coz i forgot to get secondary pistol in'ere =( i got 2lvl after few kills, and 3lvl right about the end of 2nd arena battle. so if i had a 2nd pistol - i would become a champion, get 2 BA and supacharge for next level... NEVER forget ot get 2nd pistol =) though first levels are very easy, so i survived without these missed boosts. =) the funny thing, that i found lotsa cool upgraded weapons, which are not so often in normal game...
the real deal started near 14lvl =) was surrounded by 4 cacodemons and 2 barons, they made a lot of pain as I ran... (in fact it was very stupid mistake - i pressed the walk button three times in a row...) after dealin with'em had no even decent BA there and wuz very low on HP. no medkits, phase devices, just one shiny thermonuclear device which kept my heart warm (was thinking of take CD with that if couldn't kill him normally)
at that point i realized my huge mistake in choosing traits. firstly i went with SoaG(2)-DG-SoaG(3), which is ok, i think. and then i decided to try Intuition(3), which would made lotsa benefit - just shoot enemies from afar. i found, that it would be very hard to get intuition... maybe its possible, but you should kill lotsa enemies without it first. so it's not worth it, imo.
still i was hoping it would work =)
levels 15-17 were interesting. was using lotsa barrel-shootin', outofview-shootin' and made monsters hurt their friends =) easily nailed 2 arachnotrons in 8x8 room just by aligning them in one line. got just -30% HP =) and thats without making them go melee. i think its really possible to kill more of them this way. but luck is needed =)
18lvl was caverns with arachs, so i jumped right to the nerby stairs =) was low on HP there, too.
found lotsa ammo and RA at 19lvl.
again lvl20 was alike 18, but no stairs near. tried to sneak by the bottom of the map, there was many 'natural pillars' =) occasionallly one or two arachs seen me and crawled closer. i managed to kill about 5 of them and was down to ~30% hp. but all was in vain - the pillars ended and there were at least 4 arachs more =) damn if i could pull of what i wanted in the next turn, i would be proud of me =)
there were tho small globes, here's the map (as i remeber it, its not much accurate - just to make things easier to imagine =)):

i didnt know, where the stairs then and i never used thermie before, so for some wierd reason a set it off (actually i though that theres no way i gonna make it alive, so tried to take those bad boys with me =)). then i ran without shooting to the first globe and took it. surprisingly i was alive. at that point i saw the stairs and understood how bad was my thermie idea. the second globe goes then. and still i alive and has some hp left for running. damn i was soo close. the clock ticked at 3 seconds and the stairs were a bit further than that in the future. still i ran just to check if arachs would kill me or not. they didn't and i had some hp to make it to stairs...
by the way, anyone knows if thermie kills monsters if you leave level? =)
hell, i would i spent these three traits on TaN(3) - that would very good against arachs.
and congratulations to me - now i am cacodemon lieutenant =)
