Whew, this finally ended. My first 0.9.9.5 victory post. The first half of the game was quite challenging, my armors kept getting ruined and no decent weaponry until the Hell's Armory, where I got enough mods to make the assault rifle. There I also found Grammaton Cleric's Beretta and after disassembling it I got the Onyx Pack. I couldn't find another decent use for the thing and simply used it on my red armor along with a power mod shortly afterwards, and this thingy served me well until the very end! My beloved *sigh* City of Skulls was no problem as I used the assault shotgun which I kept for this level (and dropped later), and lost souls bit me for mediocre 2% damage. After getting OP red armor (turned later into AOP) the game was not that hard. The Vaults gave me a Jackhammer (disassembled, and got another Onyx Pack, *sigh*). The whole fun began at the level which all DoomRL players undoubtedly love.
The Mortuary. I have loads of large medkits, an AOP red armor, a nuclear plasma rifle with 5 mods, an assault rifle and 3 BFGs, one of which was bulk-modded thrice. Sounds promising, but it nearly ended in an EPIC FAIL. I quickly ran out of cells, then switched to the missile laucher and wasted all rockets to get rid of nasty Barons. The situation is ridiculous - I have many medkits, undestructible armor with protection of 6 and no other decent ways to kill stuff. I tried to use the hatred skull to zerk and quickly find the Archviles while I am still protected by the bloodlust. FAIL. Again, I quickly run away to the left side, get medkits and take out the nuclear plasma rifle. Oddly enough, I managed to kill some Arachnotrons and captains to get some ammo. The only weapon I had with enough ammo to make me last was the power-modded Assault Rifle. It was either an AI glitch or a RNG blessing or I don't know what, but after I slowly liberated the left portion of the map from all those A's, B's, O's and other bad letters of the alphabet, I was stormed by a squad of Captains. 10MM AMMUNITION, THOUSANDS OF IT. Captains were all killed at once and then, for the reasons unknown, the Archvile ran into my line of sight and quickly got leaded to death. I slowly advanced to the right side and saw that MOST of surviving enemies are bloody CAPTAINS. Again. They die and finally the last Archvile shows up. I never though the Assault Rifle can actually matter that much. With the Power mod it even knocked back Barons! After the massacre the place looked somewhat like this:
There is 10mm ammo (x100) lying here.

Ilya Bely Armor : red armor [6] (AOP)
Health: 52% Exp: 11/77% Weapon: assault rifle (2d6)x2 [40/40] (P1)
cautious The Mortuary
Later levels were actually like a sandbox, I just ran around and killed stuff as though I were at Phobos 3. The problem arose when it came to nuking Dis - I had no nuke! Fortunately, my nuclear BFG from the Mortuary did the trick. JC was not that tough, but the bastard gave me one unpleasant surprise at the end. The last cacodemon he summoned SURVIVED the finishing BFG blast and then, god damn it, no 100% kills at the end! This world is not fair :D
