It is often described as a "roguelike" game because the + look and feel of the game is still quite similar to Rogue. + . + In tome, the player may choose from a number of races and classes + when creating a character, and then "run" that character over a + period of days, weeks, even months, attempting to win the game by + defeating Morgoth, who lurks somewhere in the depths of the dungeon. + . + The ultimate goal of the game is to develop a character strong enough + to defeat Morgoth, who resides on dungeon level 100. Upon doing so, + you will receive the exalted status of "winner" and your character may + retire. + . + The first main difference from Angband a new player to ToME will need + to be aware of is that it has implemented a skills based system where + instead of the adventurer automatically improving in their abilities + as they become more experienced, they get 5 skill points to spend on + their character's abilities and can therefore customise what type of + character they play. See the skills help file for details + . + The second major difference is that the main dungeon from Angband has + been split into 4 "dungeons", each of which cover a different + portion of the dungeon's levels. Note that not all of the places are + actually "dungeons" - some are caves, forests, etc. + . + The third main difference between Vanilla Angband and ToME is the + difference in character classes and races, as well as a very + different magic system. ToME also offers the player the ability to + undertake a series of quests. It is not required for any adventurer + to undertake the fixed quests, but they can result in some nice + rewards. + . + Morgoth was 'the Dark Enemy of Middle-Earth' during its First Age. He + was banished by the Valar (offspring of Eru, "god" of J.R.R. + Tolkien's world) at the end of the First Age and thus never appears + in The Lord of the Rings, set during the Third Age. Sauron, who does + figure into those tales, was the most powerful of his servants. Read + Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion' for more on the legends of Middle-Earth. + Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron." |
