character over a period of days, weeks, even months. Deep down inside,
the real objective of the game is to increase your experience, and
certain other characteristics, and also to collect useful items, to
give you a decent chance against the great Serpent of Chaos, who lurks
somewhere in the depths of the dungeon.

+--- First Place to Go ---
+The player will begin his adventure on the town level where he may
+acquire supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by bartering
+with various shop owners. After preparing for his adventure, the
+player can descend into the dungeon where fantastic adventures await
+his coming!
+
+We recommend that you go to the Yeek cave next to your starting
+position in the town of Outpost. Although the King of Yeeks at the
+lowest level is a fierce enemy, the rest of the cave should be fairly
+safe. Once you complete this dungeon, you will be strong enough to
+leave Outpost in search of greater adventures. Carry lots of food and
+fuel, for the journey can be a long one.
+
+--- The Global Map ---
+
+[[[[[GPress the '<' key, and you see all of the world!]
+
+Since this world is very large, it is convenient to go into global map
+mode by pressing the '<' key, and then return to local map mode by '>'
+key when you are at the destination. When in the wilderness, stay in
+safe grids such as roads or plains; seas and lava fields are best
+avoided for a while.
+
+Many towns and dungeons await you; good ones to explore early on
+include the orc caves and the Labyrinth. To the northeast of the town
+of Morivant, near the center of the map, is the dread dungeon of
+Angband. It is home to the Serpent of Chaos, whom you must kill in
+order to win the game. (see town.txt [f])
***** <Winning>
--- Winning The Game ---
-Once your character has killed Oberon, who lives on level 99 (4950') in
-the dungeon, a magical staircase will appear that will finally allow
-you to reach level 100. The Serpent of Chaos lurks on this level of his
-dungeon, and you will not be able to go below his level until you have
-killed him. Try to avoid wandering around on level 100 unless you are
-ready for him, since it has a habit of coming at you across the
-dungeon, to slay you for your impudence.

The Serpent of Chaos cannot be killed by some of the easier methods

-monsters, will simply teleport away to another region of the level if
-you attempt to use a spell such as destruction is upon it. The Serpent
-of Chaos, like some other monsters, cannot be polymorphed, slept,
-charmed, or genocided. Magical spells like Mana Storm and Orb of
-Draining are effective against it, as are some of the more powerful
-weapons, but it is difficult to kill and if allowed to escape for a
-time it will heal itself rapidly.

-***** <DevTeam>
-=== The Zangband DevTeam ===
-
-Zangband is currently maintained by a small development team which
-includes both Zangband's original creator, Topi Ylinen, and Robert
-Ruehlmann who maintained and developed the game from versions 2.01d
-through to 2.2.6c. Robert coordinates the efforts of the DevTeam and
-is the designated project leader.
-
-Since its inception, Zangband has developed a reputation for being more
-difficult than other Angband variants and its maintainers are known for
-their devious and contrary natures. The DevTeam neither confirms nor
-denies its intention to live up to this perception.
