Can someone explain the point of seeded dungeon with “pregen_dungeon = false” (default value, btw)?

May I suggest different mode for different player types. Easy, normal, expert, INSANE! All you need is a multiplier with easy being 1, normal could be 2, etc. May get more players on boarded.

1. awesome
2. replace labyrinths? why not, “in addition to?” labyrinths were the last token reason to ever be a mummy. the perks of mummidom continue to be removed, release after release. How about Suffrage for Mummies, mummy rights? Do something for the mummies next release. Everybody has a mummy, you know.
3. It would be nice having a link to wordpress dev blog on the releases page

I noticed that I’m in the credits twice, by my handle (Skrybe) and by my real name (Brent Adams). Thanks, but just one is fine!
