I'll admit I've never been very good at this game, and most of the time I'll get smited by an orc priest or something around level 4. Last night though, I booted up a Troll Berserker and GOOD LORD do those things rape. Going berserk is pretty much the Master Key to any problem, and later on Trog lets you bring in "Brothers in Arms" which are usually giant raging two-headed trolls so ef-yeah.
Also, I happened to have one of the greatest moments ever happen with that Troll (no screenshot because Print Screen doesn't seem to like the new version). Basically I turned a corner into a room with a little cluster of some orcs, a hound zombie, and this Named human named Joseph who started shooting exploding sling bullets at me. Thinking quick, I decided to try out my new Wand of Enslavement to see if I could distract them while I closed the distance. Thing is, the same turn that I enslaved the hound zombie, Joseph took another shot with his explodey-bullets. But he had been standing with this cluster of enemies on the other side of the room, and that zombie happened to be directly in his line of fire:
The hound zombie is charmed, this wand has 6 charges left.
Joseph shoots an exploding sling bullet.
The exploding sling bullet hits your hound zombie.
The exploding sling bullet explodes!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulf your hound zombie.
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc.
The orc dies!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc warrior.
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs the orc.
The orc dies!
The explosion of sling bullet fragments engulfs Joseph
