NetHack’s dungeon cannot be exited without giving up the game, for even once you get the Amulet and escape, you’re thrown into an End Game that functions as a coda to your adventure in Angband, you’ll probably leave the dungeon many times in order to avail yourself of the Town’s useful services. NetHack has more set locations that offer specific puzzles players must overcome, like finding the Luckstone at the bottom of the Gnomish Mines, or getting past Medusa, or crossing the moat around the Castle Angband has only one set location, its Town, although there are lots of special areas that can be randomly found within its dungeon levels.

The puzzle of figuring out item identities is a larger part of the game, and NetHack offers both more uncertainty in identification and more ways to identify. While NetHack has lots of strong monsters, it seems to take the view that the dungeon itself is your greatest opponent. Where the games differ is in their general philosophy of what dungeon exploration means. Both standard-bearer for the Hack series, NetHack, and Angband now feature graphical tiles by default, although they can also be played in the old ASCII-based format. Both games have randomized maps, dangerous monsters with fearsome abilities, powerful magic items to use against them, spells you can learn and cast, and traps you must look out for. It, too, is a grid-based dungeon exploration game where you fight lots of monsters and find objects with unknown properties that you must discover as you play. If you’ve played a Hack-like, Angband ( home page) will probably look fairly similar at first.

After the defeat of Glaurung, a period called Long Peace began, and Beleriand prospered greatly during this time. However, Fingon led a group of archers on horseback against him, and Glaurung was forced to return to Angband. The siege was incomplete, as Morgoth was still capable of sending out various forces of orcs to harass the elves, such as the attack of Hithlum but the Noldor were grown strong enough, that these task forces posed no significant threat.Ībout 200 years into the Siege, Glaurung came forth from Angband, and although he was yet young and not fully grown, many fled in terror. Other Elven cities, Brithombar and Eglarest were also established by the Sindar on Falas, and Nargothrond, the realm of Finrod. It was during the Siege that Turgon's people left Nevrast to build Gondolin. In the east the Sons of Fëanor held watch Celegorm and Curufin held the land between the rivers Aros and Celon, Maedhros had his stronghold on Himring while he guarded the Marches north of that hill and the plains between the rivers Celon and Gelion, Maglor kept watch over the northern hills of the river Gelion, and Caranthir in the shadows of Ered Luin.

In the west Fingolfin and Fingon guarded the pass over Ered Wethrin into Hithlum from Barad Eithel, while Finrod and Orodreth held the pass of Sirion from Minas Tirith and Angrod with Aegnor held the northern slopes of Dorthonion to the borders of Aglon. The Noldor and their allies possessed insufficient force to assault Angband directly. The Siege of Angband was the 400-year leaguer of the Noldor around the fortress of Morgoth in the early centuries of the First Age, which began following the Dagor Aglareb.
