Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Can these be mimics? I'm sure that on at least one occasion, I've ended up with only 3 actual shops in the O:4 vault. However, I can't remember if it was due to an abandoned shop or a mimic, and I also can't remember if any other shops were placed on the level.

I meant that SPECIFIC vault always has 4 real shops. There are other Orc endings and some probably have fewer than 4 shops. I don't remember the rules for mimics these days.

I had a game yesterday with 3 shops and a mimic on Orc 4, so that can definitely happen.

Re: Remove Abandoned Shops

I'd like abandoned shops to be retained on account that they have the rare and valuable ability to punish a player for being spoiled about the game.

I could really do with less food shops, though.
