the Dungeon is 45-55 Levels deep, but the ones that really matter are the first 10. Once you clear sokoban and the Mines, the game
is quite easy (Asuming you aren't trying conducts), and gets easier the deeper you get.

I guess I play it wrong, it does not get easier for me.

A friend of mine has made multiple ascensions, and he says that the key is not losing focus.  You might pay very close attention to how you do things, conserve resources and act cautiously -- but then start getting lazy or sloppy as you become more powerful.  This, he says, is what kills you in the later levels.  But if you can maintain focus and play with that same dedication and caution that you used in the early game when you did not feel powerful, then you can succeed easily.

Though I dont know, I usually get creamed in the mines if I am doing well.  And only make it a couple of levels down if I'm not doing well.

So, isnt there a new version of this on the way out shortly?  And wasnt a development version leaked a little while ago?

Did any of you get to check out the leaked version?  Anyone know what the new version will be doing with UTF8?  More attractive dungeon or UI by any chance?

First Bot ascension yesterday:

This was on ACE, today ascended on NAO as well:

It should be noted that it used some very cheap tricks (AKA, pudding Faming for loads of loot). Is still awesome, though.
