I almost made it to Captain rank. To preserve inventory space, I chose pistols as main weapons, first in combination with a SG, then with a RL and later with the BFG. Trait order was SoG->SoG->SoG->DG->TaN->HR->TaN... I think. In the last few levels I thought I wouldn't make it, especially in the last one (this was one of those with many small rooms) where I had to search almost the entire level before finding the stairs. I entered the Arena with 80% health, one large medkit, full red armor and too few power cells, but I had a nuke. If it hadn't been for the one Arch-Vile who really got in my way a few levels before, the power cells would have been enough to finish Cybie, but as it was they ran out after three hits already, with Cybie down to "severely wounded". I activated the nuke and fired a last rocket at him, but it was not enough, he hit me back and I died. Only seconds later, the nuke detonated, burying Cybie beside me.
The known bug that occurs in this situation prevents me from posting a mortem, and the game did not count at all. This is really frustrating because it was the first time I got this far with AoLt, and would have advanced to Captain rank had this game counted as a partial win (AFAIK).

You'll be happy to know that this bug is fixed already in the beta, and the next version will be ok :)

Thanks :)
Still, I hope to make it to Captain before the next version comes out. Will of course post the mortem once I make it, I just have to remember to launch the nuke in time if I see I won't make it, so it will go off before Cybie gets me.
