I'm playing the new level 1 right now, testing out the updated monsters, etc and I must say this version is certainly more challenging than prior versions. I've updated the stats for everything and one thing you will notice once I release beta 17 later this weekend is that enemies move a lot faster than they did before. You might walk into a room, see a skeleton, think he's no problem, and the next second he is right there slicing you up like roast beaf. Harpies are also a lot nastier than they once were. I opened a door stepped inside and one landed on me claws first and ripped me a new rear end before I barely knew she was there. Lol! Oh, yeah, and as far as randomization goes I have made an important decision on that as well. Instead of just removing it I decided to fix it. Thus part of the delay in releasing the game. Instead of randomly generating items and monsters when you enter a room all of the stats, random generation, etc will be done before the level loads. That way when you save a game it will save the state of everything. Plus doing it this way I can limit the amount of ammo, gold, gems, and potions you can possibly find per level. This has certainly aided in balancing things out more because now you have to conserve ammo and potions when and where you can, because you will have no idea when you will find more to replace it.
