Gozbrag thread
Overall Gozag is one of the strongest gods, I don't think that's in question. So winning all races and classes is more an exercise in patience than skill. Still, a few points are worth noting:
The food thing: Not actually a restriction except for a few races. Floorgod provides enough permafood.
DD: This is not difficult. You need a vamp weapon, but it doesn't have to be a good one, because of how strong DD are. Weapon shops are important, but often floorgod will provide a +0 vampiric trident or whatever, and that will carry you until you find/buy/make a vampiric battleaxe. I had just seven games where I ran out of max MP and died, and most of those were earlier on before I got the hang of the combo.
The 7 streak: DD is the easiest race to streak because they start the game with a ton of on-demand HW. So that just represents seven games in a row where I found vamp weapon before running out of MP or doing something extremely stupid.
DDAK^Gozag: This was a nightmare. Many, many failed attempts. Lucy wrath is a crapshow, and strikes so many times that you need almost impossible luck at low levels, even when you have old version ring of teleport. Finally, I waited until XL 15 before switching to Gozag, and that went OK.
Tr: You have to buy a few food shops, but it's fine, since Tr are powerful even before god abilities.
Gh: You'll have to buy a few corpse shops. It's fine to carry around a fair amount of rot; don't waste chunks by buying a corpse when you only have a few points of rot.
Vp: Find a vamp weapon and go bloodless, like a crappy version of DD.
Felid: Awful regardless of god. Why do they still exist?
Orbrunning Tomb with bribery spam: Less effective than you would think. The bribe didn't seem to affect the mummies. But it did work on orb run summons, who fought the mummies for me. http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/rast/ ... 045602.txt
Bribing Zot 5: This is probably too good. Just absolutely trivializes what is supposed to be the hardest part of the standard game.
