Well, yea, congratulate me! My first and probably last win in my 4 year ADOM career! It was with a gnomish wizard! It was easy as crap! The .flg will
appear in the HoF as soon as Jan decides to update it!

Now praise me, please!

congrats echo!!!!!!!!!,
I am still trying for my first win, and I too have been playing for over 4 years. Guess I get to careless when my char starts to get good. got a good one going now, HE Archer. Precrowned with Natures companion (again), and in a small vault in the UD, found both "worn boots 30s" and "long sword 35s".

Congrats again,

Kender

Wow, congratulations!

I've been playing this game without winning for three years now. I got very far (L35) once, and am desperately trying to get back there... It really builds my morale to see that you *can* win, even if it takes tiiime...

I'm looking forward to see your Hall Of Fame entry!

(Gnomish wizard, huh? Maybe I should see this as an encouragement to give up my aversion against playing non-elves ;)

Congratulations,

Don'T try DE merchant unless you like challenges.
Try a Trollish Mindcrafter instead. ;P

Forgive me for being miserable enough to even consider the bare thought of considering gnomes to be any decent kind of wizard comparable at all to the mightiest mage of the mighty mages, the gray elf!

Gnomes gain levels almost twice as fast as gray elves.
Gnomes have a higher hp than gray elves.
Gnomes heal faster.

Gnomes > gray elves

I object!

They have slightly higher mana, they have a longer lifespan, they are more dextrous and stronger.

Not that any of this would be of importance for wizards, but:

Gray elves are cooler than gnomes!

Thus: Gray Elves > gnomes.

Gnomes rule !

Elves may have more mana and longer lifespan but in the mid-late game it doesn't really matter. Mana can be relatively easily gained by various means and a gnomes lifespan is quite enough unless one gets very unlucky with ghosts and the like. And AFAIK elves are NOT stronger than gnomes but the other way round (could be wrong though). And dexterity is easily gained with herbs.

And...imagine a short and stumpy gnome beating steel golems into scrap metal with bare hands. A bit more impressive than an elf doing that.

I think you're missing my point. Logical considerations are not relevant. Elves are just *cooler* than gnomes, that's all. ;)

BTW, according to the guidebook, elves *are* stronger than gnomes. 1 point, to be exact. (Of course, randomly rolling the attributes at the beginning can easily obliterate this slight advantage.)
