#Angband map mods#
Yeah, there are a ton of variants (other recent ones include Steamband - steampunk - and PosChengband - kitchen sink) so you'll need some kind of policy - and this is just an early version of an issue you'll start running into with mods and total conversions of commercial games, too. MAngband, which was supposed to have multiplayer features Delete SilAngband(?), which I know little about beyond the name Hengband, which another commenter mentioned, with a Japanese influence

FAngband, which focused more heavily on the First Age of Middle-Earth
#Angband map serial numbers#
Its direct descendant Troubles of Middle-Earth, which scrubbed off the serial numbers after McCaffrey got litigious (again) and added some other stuff like an overworld
#Angband map series#
PernAngband, which IIRC descended from Z, and added a bunch of content from Anne McCaffrey's Pern series

SAngband, with a full skill-tree system ZAngband, pulling heavily from the works of Roger Zelazny Angband itself has been evolving in fits and starts all along (and fairly smoothly for the past few years, though it'll be a long time before you have to worry about *that*.) back when I was still poking at Angband variants regularly (late '90s through mid '00s), there were roughly half a dozen to a dozen major variants and more smaller ones, each of which also had their own different public versions to pay attention to. I think a lot of that is going to be a judgement call. One can almost think of modern rogue-derived games like Diablo as some sort of unbroken family tree going all the way back, one game an expanded version of the previous one until they barely resemble each other. Sounds like it's largely a more refined, polished version of the more refined, polished version of Moria, then? Wheras zAngband is a more refined, polished version of Angband with Zelazny instead of Tolkien as the major influence, and TOME was the more refined, polished version of ZAngband with the Tolkien added back in force. I appreciate these posts where someone actually lays out what Moria did differently from Rogue and now what Angband did differently from Moria, so I can experience them vicariously anyway even if I'll never get too far myself. Rogue, Moria, uMoria, BRogue, ADOM, Angband, zAngband, Dungeon Crawl, Sil, Slashem, TOME2, nethack and unnethack, all loaded into a Win3.1 instance running on Dosbox, but every time I try to actually sit and play some of these, it becomes rapidly clear these sort of games just aren't for me. A key resource for Angband players is the forum ( ), where you can ask for help, and also post compliments, complaints, suggestions, bug reports, and interesting experiences.I've collected over the years, for some reason that escapes me, many roguelikes from corners of the internet. Eventually, as the player grows more experienced, they may attempt to win the game by defeating Morgoth, the Lord of Darkness, who resides far below the surface.Īngband is a very complex game, and it may be difficult to grasp everything at first. Then the player can descend into the Pits of Angband, where they will explore the many levels of the dungeon, gaining experience by killing fierce creatures, collecting powerful objects and valuable treasure, and returning to town occasionally to buy supplies. The player will begin their adventure on the town level where they may acquire supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by buying from various shop owners.

A player (you!) creates a character, choosing from a variety of races and classes, and then plays that character over a period of days, weeks, even months. Angband is a complex single player dungeon simulation.
