[[Jeff Lait]]'s [[Vicious Orcs]] 7DRL rewards attention to detail in play.

* Your physical ranged attacks have the same limitations as the monsters'.  Use this to predict not only safe squares to move to, but ambush points.
* Monsters won't pass through secret doors.  They aren't so inhibited about normal doors.  So, don't reveal secret doors until the coast is clear.
* Cowards would rather be diagonally adjacent to @ than orthogonal to @.  That is, faced with this

<pre>..@.

Move here to give a free attack

* The kitchen knife's inaccuracy will make your life distressingly short.  Upgrade As Soon As Possible.
* Prioritze what to have repaired.  There should be enough money to end with top-end armor, bow, and weapon.  [Whether the dungeon has all three of these is another question.]  If you don't bleed the money away in combat.
