I feel like an intended goal of gnoll design was "improve the late game which is long and tedious by making it more difficult." But the way to 'improve the late game' is by making it dramatically shorter, which has the side-effect of making late-game difficulty way easier to adjust!

These directions are already badly over-saturated. You have to introduce fundamentally new mechanics if you want a fresh take on crawl.
