Finally got my first win with my Necromancer Skeleton army (160 mins). Just in case anybody is interested, there is an item called the "Helm of Telepathy" or something like that which reveals all enemies on the minimap. Very useful if you can get your hands on it!
Status update on the Necromancer that survived 30 turns of disease:
I Kamikaze'd myself unwittingly by using a scroll of hellfire in the 16th floor as a last resort - not thinking I'd be caught in the blast.
Felt like something straight out of a book or movie.
But see I thought I would actually get to the end this time...
Great game.
Probably spent 10 hours in the past few days playing it.
5/5 would recommend.
Whew. Just accidentally got hit by my own infectious disease as a necromancer and got stuck with 30 turns of 5-8 self-damage per turn.
Turns out having 10 food is more useful than it seems.
Sarge is so badass. When he dies, he just gives Death the middle finger and is ready to be redeployed in the next mission. After all, "There's only one Sarge."
