My first Ironman party just got wiped out, *sigh*.
The annoying thing is that I saw I was outclassed, and fled to the stairs (this was in the moathouse). But I couldn't use the stairs. The gnolls (for it was they) were not pursuing. They were still in their room, about 5 rounds away. But I couldn't figure out how to end combat. I know it is possible, since it happened once when I was fleeing a giant. But this time nothing happened. I just kept pressing 'skip turn' for ages, and eventually went on a kamikaze spree and got everyone wiped out.
Is this one of those famous bugs I keep hearing about, or did I just miss the 'end combat' command hidden in a menu somewhere?
I play a lot of roguelikes, and in them the most important tactic is knowing when to flee. It would be disappointing if this tactic is not possible.
Other than that, I'm loving the game! The tension in combat is nail-biting, and the tactical depth is superb.
