Web is good. And if a city is defended by a bunch of worms on the ground, there's no reason it shouldn't be conquered by bunch of magical flying units. Unless the worms are armed with shotguns.

Yes, web is nice. But conquering a city without harming its defenders ?

Hey, I tried Crawl (on the telnet server), it's pretty cool! Except I keep hitting 'l' to look around, and it moves me. I suppose I could remap the keys, but I haven't even looked for help other than ?? yet. What's a good 1st character to try? I did a Demigod Crusader and forgot to watch my HP. Now I'm trying a Draconian Chaos Knight.

1. You look around with 'x' (examine). While doing so, you can press '?' to view monster description.
Some of easiest characters are:
Troll berserker (and berserkers in general). Trolls have stupidly high regeneration rate, great hp, and fight very well unarmed. You shouldn't run into trouble too fast. Just watch for orc wizards, priests, warriors (purple, green, yellow). They hit hard.
If you DO run into trouble, press 'a' and berserk.
Crawl rewards specialist classes at the moment. For fighter types, try dwarves, minotaurs, orcs, trolls. Demigods have all skills slightly below average, which means they are much worse at many skills than those specialists. Caution - ogres are hard to play.
Fighter is armour-based, Gladiator is more about dodging.
Assassin can be also nice starting class, just don't train Darts too hard. It doesn't pay off. Poisoned needles should be saved for tougher enemies.
Gods good for fighters: Okawaru, Yredelemnul, Xom, Makhleb...
