I still think i did relativly well, but I don't know, considering I thought no-one could get this far, then I see the mortems of at least 50 peopel finishing. I'm still proud, so don't mock me.

I won't, im truly bad at this game, but im not playing it more than some minutes per day (10-20 minutes). Funny once in a while, its always fun since its never the same.

Well, you did make it to level 11, its already quite good IMO.

Your new? Seems so, then welcome to the forum! You'll sure finish this game someday, never give up. And for a FIRST game, you can be proud. My first game ended on level 2...

Welcome! A very nice first game, Most first's are reserved for screwing around trying to get the hang of things.

You dont want to see my nethack morgue.

Anyhow, Its a great achievement! Perhaps something that would have helped is dont bother with Son of a Bitch and Son of a Gun, Rather take a few levels in Tough as Nails, Its like neverending armour :-)

Great job, And welcome!

I think some of that helped, but Son of a bitch apperently wasent doing much, and I stopped using the pistol early, considering I didn't notice any difference. And in my second attempt, I die on the tenth floor. I help my right to remain violent.

It's bad when you pull a lever, and 3 Hell knights appear, then you find another and realize you just used 3+ Large med-kits and every single power cell and bullet you had.

Well, I have a friend that finished the game at the first try without cheating. But the guy is a regular ADoM/NetHack winner, so I guess he doesn't count.

Which brings me to the point that DoomRL is too easy for hardcore roguelike players. Guess the difficulty levels is a must-have feature :D.

Welcome to the forum, Ark :-).

That's why there will be ONE easier difficulty :-)

This was technically, the first time I had seen a rougelike. I'd seen LORD, but i don't know if that'd a rougelike game, but this is the first time i've ever really played one.. I like to think I make a difference.

Yes, that is easily one of the most anticipated features. I need Nightmare :)

@Ark: Son of a Bitch is very usefull for weapons with multiple shots, like the chaingun. But maybe you meant Son of a Gun? That trait is more of a challenge than helpful. I've tried to play with the pistol as my only weapon for a while, but never got far.

Easier than most roguelikes?  I dunno, I've never beat nethack, but I generally do better in it than DoomRL

You didn't do half bad soldier.  Keep on fighting and you may make it into the teens.  Just don't do like I did once.(See When they say STUPID SUICIDE,... to see what I mean.)

Good Hunting.

Don't carry so much armor soldier.  2 'Blue Armor [2/2] (100%)' or a 'Red Armor [4/4] (100%)' and a 'Blue Armor [2/2] (100%)' should be enough to last for some time.

If you can't find them at 100% the get them as close to 100% as you can, and don't forget about the Armor Shards, those will help quite a bit grab any you find before leaving the level if not before.

One final note:  When you find a spare suit of armor that is in better condition as what you have in stock and is of the same color or higher, then switch them out.
