And now some post.
This thread was intended, partially as a bragging thread, partially about discusion about game developing.

Dungeon Crawl is probably the most difficult game today. Perhaps it would be better to say deadly. Chance to winning is so low so some players didn’t win even after one year of playing. One of reasons is dungeon crawl would delete your save after you’d die. The second reason is that game isn’t fair. (my game isn’t fair as well but it’s different topic) Even if you abuse the game mechanic heavily, you still have a very little chance to win. OOD monsters and other “features” would get you killed rather quickly. Some players say “it’s nice, it’s extremely difficult at the beggining, you’d lose just a little time”. However diffuculty is rather insane.
Dungeon Crawl spoiled me. After that I think majority of games is extremely easy. (and finished that last game from warhammer in 3 days with no difficulty, and without saving.)

So what do you think is a reasonable difficulty level for hardcore players?

When we are in the bragging, I also finished Caravel DROD in 3 weeks. Level 9 was a nice relaxing level after tedious level 8. In fact it’s one of most, or the most difficult logical games of today.
Hints: this is timer, and use paper. (without them it would be 2 daysmore. or two minutes?)
Yes I agree with author that level is rather difficult for that early play.

So now is your turn.
