Re: [Zangband-discussion] Some questions

[Howard D. <ha...@ha...>]

Hi,

I guess I read it too, although I'd long since forgotten that it existed.

I don't know too much about the other questions. I think that the strict
restrictions on what monsters were in a given dungeon was removed at
some point, although I don't remember when. The dungeons still tend
towards being themed, but IIRC it's not impossible for other sorts of
monsters to show up.

As noted, Zangband has been kind of dead for quite a while, which is too
bad since I think it was getting pretty close to being as much fun to
play as 2.4.0.

If you're not aware, there's ZPlusAngband based off of Zangband. It's
also not terribly active, but is a little bit.
