I don't know if this is a psychological trick or a fact, but if it's the latter it should probably be taken into consideration:
Every time I get an "every stairway in its own quadrant" dungeon layout, the total number of monsters seems to drop a wee bit. Has anyone else noticed this? I've never really been paying attention to the numbers killed though, so it may very well be that in those layouts the mass of monsters stays the same, they're just bunched closer together (talk about ironman hell :blink: ).
If so far nobody has done any research (if you can call playing a game research) on that, perhaps this is the time to do it. I think separating the results into different classes (3 for dlvl 13, 2 for dlvls 14 and 15) would confirm my assumption or prove it's false, if it hasn't already been done, of course.
