Ugggg!!! I keep getting OrcTown generated in the mines instead of a functional village. It seems that getting this bad bit of luck is kind of crippling to early game. You miss out on all the shops, ID opportunities, lamp-purchasing, and so on.

Is there any silver lining to getting OrcTown? The last two runs where I got OrcTown, I cleared it out. Yeah, you get a lot of swag - but I still think it's a far worse deal than a town proper. The altar is ok, but it's always unaligned as far as I can tell. I think I'd rather take the 1/3 chance that it's co-aligned.

Anyways, what are your thoughts? Any way I could get 'more' out of OrcTown than just clearing it out for loot?

Thanks for reading,
