	:The dungeon.def file contains the line "BRANCH: "Fort Ludios" @ (18, 4) portal". This seems to imply a depth between 18 and 21.

	I'm wondering - what's the depth of Fort Ludios? Every level has an effective depth, for monster generation purposes etc. The fake wizard's tower demonstrates both ends of a portal need not be on the same level. Since the branch is generated at game creation time, before the vault portal is fixed, Ludios itself should get assigned some depth independent of the portal. --[[User:Tjr\|Tjr]] 16:58, 2 August 2011 (UTC)		I'm wondering - what's the depth of Fort Ludios?

	:Generally that's a good way to get rid of trolls, but be very careful if you're overtaxed or worse; I once went inadvertently moat-diving while carrying an Olog-hai corpse (meant to throw it, missed the message telling me I couldn't, so walked into the moat). What the game then does is try to drop enough weight so you can escape the water; it dropped a lot of valuable items (GDSM, speed boots, bag with wand of wishing, etc) before finding the Olog-hai corpse, rendering an ascendable character useless, as I had no way to retrieve my stuff. I ended up quitting when rubbing a magic lamp failed to give me a wish (i.e. an amulet of magical breathing) -[[User:Ion frigate\|Ion frigate]] 16:36, September 10, 2010 (UTC)		:Generally that's a good way to get rid of trolls, but be very careful if you're overtaxed or worse; I once went inadvertently moat-diving while carrying an Olog-hai corpse (meant to throw it, missed the message telling me I couldn't, so walked into the moat).

	The door strategy & image are bad, they allow monsters inside the room to fire wands at you. Better is freezing ONLY the square on the door's right, then placing yourself a knight's move from that frozen square. as such, monster won't zap wands early and you will get some charges.
