These changes look great! Anyone tried the new/edited challenges.

The blog post mentions adding the rest of the gold/silver challenges but my Priest gold and silver challenges are still blacked out. Anyone else?

@Avatar: Have you tried Fighter Gold with the platemail changes?

[The Avatar]

No, I haven't had time to try anything, but it'll be REALLY hard now.

I got within one hit of beating it without the exploit over last weekend.

Well, Rogue silver is a PITA. You need to luck out and find the right enemies and items in the right order without revealing too many dark tiles.

What did they change in Rogue Silver? I coasted through it pretty easily on my first run, and that was without knowing the finer details of the level.

Oops, I meant Thief. I always get those confused.

Can't see any changes with Rogue Silver. The level layout of Rogue Gold looks different though, more walls. Like, imagine dragon islands but replace the walls with empty tiles and replace the water with walls.

edit: Ps, Thief silver gates a new item, the "Balanced Dagger". I can't be bothered doing it, someone else do it and tell me if it's worth unlocking

I have no idea how you're supposed to beat Thief Silver. I can't actually kill anything.

Ok, I managed to get to level 3. This seems as hard as the original Paladin Silver.

I got pretty far once. For level 1->2 use a pot and kill a WEYTWUT'd level 2 guy. Kill the level 1 chest which gives GETINDARE, I just converted it since I have weytwut. From now until level 5 or so you can just do hit-> regen a couple of tiles -> hit -> weytwut -> kill.

In the level 3 chest is IMAWAL, useful.

In the level 5 chest is ENDISWAL, useful too.

I got to level 6 and ran out of dark tiles to use.
