I noticed cats eye was gone

Well, it's not really gone. It's just *moved* a bit. You were in half way to rediscover it, though ;)

Quote from: Darkshadow
I hit lvl 3 just after I entered the arena and was shocked to see shottyman, things couldn't get better after finding a rapid double shotgun on the 8th floor.

Wow, that must have been leaded blood bath ;)

...but wait, does rapid mean rapid shooting or rapid reloading?

Quote from: Darkshadow
I ran out of med-kits clearing the wall.

I always clear it from a distance keeping Barons and Knights not to come too close with my soon-obsolete RL :)

Quote from: Darkshadow
Got my 1st BFG in the halls, and used it to cheat the city of skulls by shooting through the walls getting me 2 more sths.

That cheat comes for a price of ammo, though.

Quote from: Darkshadow
Let me say this now, whoever the hell came up with the idea for the Unholy Cathedral is a sick bastard, I ran stright in atempted to shoot those lost souls and suprise nothing happened, running away cost me 3 large med-kits and 2 red armor (now that I've read up on it I'm gald I didn't use that phase device).

Mmm, that one is my favourite ;)
First entrance always leads to a big surprise ;) You must admit, that sick bastard is quite ingenious, isn't he? :P

Quote from: Darkshadow
Cybie was easy, advanced BFG less than 6 shots.

Cybie is (almost /AoM/) always easy. But getting to him could cause more problems on higher difficulty levels. Give them a try!

edit: grammar :>

Rapid = fast shooting
Fastload = fast reloading

I agree with the other guy, Kornel.
Did not want to say it by myself.

My biggest problem was that I didn't have an internet connection so a buddy downloaded the game for me, so I had absolutely no clue what was in waiting for me. Oddly enough I kept falling back to ADOM tactics, things running in diagonals to help dodge shots and never stand directly in front of a door you are opening, and they seems like they work

The change to the arena was both welcomed and annoying, cacodemon spawned next to me on stage 3 but I got it with my combat shotgun (thank you shottyman), the blue armor and the rocket launcher at the end are definitly worth the extra trouble.

The BFG in the city of skulls didn't burn that much ammo, 2 shots while the walls were still up and swaped to my advanced double shotgun (BTW shottyman still kicks ass) to clean up, got 2 fully loaded BFGs, 80 power cells, some shotgun shells and lvl 7 (tough as nails).

Is the Unholy Cathedral even possable for anything but a strict melee character? I almost killed by just the lost souls nevermind the AoD.

I only swaped to the advanced plasma rifle on lvl 19 because carring all that 10mm to keep feeding my extended chaingun was getting to be a pain and I ran short on shotgun shells.

I know I got very lucky with the Mortuary, it looks like it could get ugly very quick but the rewards are some of the nicest in the game.

Found a nuke on 23 but a baron destroyed it before I got it.

It might just be me but I like the pain elementals and the arch-viles, fighting them adds a major exp gain for a shotgun player but I need more practice to scum them (btw no decriptions or pictures?).

But that was not your first version of DoomRL played?

It definietely is. Souls are chainsawed easily. Demons may require some berserk mode and AoD... he's hard for unprepared character. All you need is Berserk ;)

Wow, you must have been lucky. Every weapon with prefix. Nice, nice ;)

Heh, I liked them on level Easy too. I wanted more Arch-viles. Yees... Now only Pain Elementals are so welcome... :P

Pain elementals can't be scummed, because the Souls produced by them have no Exp value :). Ressurected monsters by Arch-Viles OTOH *DO* have an exp value... but I still may change that in the future if Vile scumming gets to popular.
