Hey, people, I want to brag a bit
Several years ago Maerryji, one of the best Lands players and its puzzles researchers I know, was having fun by passing through the game as fast as he could. As I can understand, it was a way to make the game more interesting. And this is my way: I've just passed through Lands with 'additional difficulty'.
Here are some features I used if someone also has interest in making the game harder:
- monsters are ferrocious
- I broke Scotia's barrier near Yvel before I came to the White tower. So I didn't have Vaelan's cube on its 3rd level. And I also reached wand of lightning and opened 'YOU HAVE NO FAITH' door on it.
- While defending Yvel I didn't come in houses, nor exit the level. He-he, it took 7 fireball wands, some of my nervs and all healing things I had!
- I didn't use the Magic Atlas. Perhaps it still lies somewhere in Gladstone's library
- All these 'features' were on while I was passing through the game without making game saves
Well, of course, I don't count the savings I was making just before exiting game to load them exactly once.
Afterall, when the game finished I was as glad as thought it was the first time I passed it
