Also also.. the beta code making monsters more intelligent in groups adds some new challenges to the game...

Also, the old "wield a small weapon to get extra attacks" mechanics are in full effect.

I'm not sure if anyone but me is interested, but I'm noticing some other differences about AA. It seems the item generation and drops are much more rare. The name of the game appears to be to harvest $ and then purchase discounted stuff in town.

But it's been so long since I played an older version of Vanilla, maybe it was just that way from the beginning...

Way cool, and thanks much! As soon as my RePosBand Troll wins or dies, I'll be playng AA mostly.

@Gwarl Thanks for looking at it! If it's just too much of a hassle, I understand.

FYI - just made a donation as a downpayment on this project. ;^) Thanks for all you do!

Hey, Gwarl. Just starting a thread here to move our convo over from the chat on .live. IIRC, you thought AlexAngband could be ported in to angband.live without too much trouble? Let me know wassup, and how (if) I could help.

I was surprised when I played AA how much more enjoyable the game became with the persistent Home. Less crushing when a high-level character got AHMD'd, etc.
