Shorten Lair
Now exploring Lair is a bit like exploring a jungle. You have to go deep into unknown territory to find what anything. To advance, you need to travel farther from the stairs that you came down. You risk being unable to retreat to them when you encounter +speed monsters, or find that a random monster has wandered into your retreat path. Finally, turn up the ambient noise so you're less likely to wake up the whole level. Now you have a slightly more interesting branch without needing to change any monsters or add any gimmicks that change your tactical choices.
