That's right! I completely forgot about that. Remember the map work you did on Threefort? In that game I set all non-unique items to level 0 and people got messages about finding an item and it never appeared in their lab. Squirrelloid realized it was probably going by level and since the game didn't find anything at levels 2/4/6 they never received an item (I assume sometimes random events give level 0 items so in those cases I suppose it would have worked).

In that case ghoul is right and it must be nice indeed to have that equipment. Though technically the Ogres have the best item since they have the champion's helmet.

The Ogres have done well, and I think are well suited for these settings, but I feel this game is very much up for grabs.

I really find this an interesting experiment. I automatically find myself thinking, "ok, I'll use that gear to accomplish x" and then realize that won't work.
