Introduction

Strategy
Read this entry as a decision map rather than a fixed script. Caves of Qud is procedural, and the correct answer depends on your route, faction state, available tools and how many exits you still have.
Synergies
- Escape options
- Faction reputation
- Relevant skills
- Equipment support
- Information tools
Weaknesses
The common failure is overconfidence: assuming a good build, item or route removes the need to scout. It does not. Qud keeps receipts.
