First thoughts

-I Like the character histories
-Town looks nice, especialy the raised walkways
-Interesting approach to FOV (not sure if I like it yet)
-If you want to display the players name and class, it would look
better at the top of the screen rather than under the messages
-Consider deleting old messages (or turn them dark grey)
-Castle looks very nice
-Space bar should always cancel
-auto-ID is a great idea
-Perhaps if you see two of the same creature, only display it once on
the auto-ID
-Seems like you could use more of the screen

What things don't you like about it? .

Well, adom uses it on the lower part of the screen AFAIR, and I am also
putting player status modifiers in the same line.

I will

> -Space bar should always cancel

Ok

> -Perhaps if you see two of the same creature, only display it once on

The idea is that the autoID will also show the status of the monster in
the future, which is an individual attribute

> -Seems like you could use more of the screen

Well, the autoID can take all the screen sides when you are on a big
fight

Thanks for your suggestions and I hope you liked the game,
