 Main changes
 ------------
 * You are no longer trying to kill Morgoth
+
   * The aim is now to free a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown, then escape
+
 * The game is much shorter
+
   * Morgoth is found at 1,000 ft
   * A winning game should take about 10 hours
+
 * There is no town or word of recall
 * It has a much more coherent theme: The First Age of Middle Earth
 * There are no classes, or experience levels
+
   * Instead there are 8 skills to improve
   * With a tree of special abilities for each
+
 * The combat system is completely new
+
   * It is very thoroughly thought out and tested
   * It leads to many more interesting choices for the player
+
 * Monster AI is much better
+
   * It uses 4GAI, plus numerous improvements
+
 * The monsters, items, artefacts and almost completely rewritten
 * There is much less explicit magic
+
   * e.g. no fireballs, no teleportation...
+
 * There is more tactical depth in combat
+
   * Partly due to the absence of teleportation and other easy escapes
+
 * There is an effective time limit
+
   * Over time you can no longer find your way to the shallower depths
   * You can thus play each level more than once, but not indefinitely
 
 System changes
 --------------
 * Stats
+
   * Based around the average for the Men of the first age (set as 0)
   * There are no ‘stat potions’, so initial stats matter a lot more
   * Int/Wis/Cha are replaced with Grace
+
 * Hit points don’t go up with experience
+
   * They are solely based on your Constitution
   * You die at 0 (instead of –1 in Angband)
+
 * Elements
+
   * There are only four elemental attacks (fire, cold, poison, dark)
   * Resistances stack, reducing damage to 1⁄2, then 1⁄3, then 1⁄4, ...
   * Dark resistance is determined by your light level
   * Poison does no direct damage, but damages over time
+
 * Speed is much less fine grained and less available
+
   * The only speeds are 1, 2, 3, 4
   * normal speed is 2, so +1 speed makes you move 50% faster
+
 * The only ‘pseudo id’ is {special}, which covers artefacts and ‘ego-items’
 * You can only tunnel with shovels and mattocks
