Ha, yeah I tried Kaves myself last night. Certainly it looks like it
may be too hard to play without a command list. I'm thinking of
looking around for the commands using a sector editor.

Back on DF, the manual does tell you something crucial about finding
the dragon that I was unlikely to have ever happened upon by accident.
As a result, I finally got my name on that damn Ddragon slaying
certificate!.. on Novice.

So I went to Experienced Adventurer. A game at this level is much
harder to start off, but if you get your character up to a certain
point of critical mass, it ultimately isn't too much harder than
Novice to complete. On the other hand, to complete a game on
Experienced Adventurer and get a score comparable to what you can
chalk up on Novice, that would take much more work.
