CF: strategy -- SPOILER

[Preston.F.Crow@Dartmouth.EDU (Preston F. Crow)]

Here's an interesting strategy that might be defined as a bug:

I'm sure everyone knows how useful earth walls can be for containing monsters
for a more controlled combat (or combat avoidance).

Most players are pretty much immune to mice after just a few levels, so if you
can get a mouse loose on a map, you get the same effect as earth walls, only
better--you can see over them, and cast spells through them.  Imagine a map
with powerful demons where mice separate you from them--think, "Holy Word."

Now how to get those mice?  That's where the real trick is.  Use the singing
and oratory skills to get one as a follower.  It will go from map to map
following
you, but it will still reproduce.  The offspring are not followers.

A much more tedious and dangerous way of getting mice is with polymorph
(possibly
after summoning fog if no monsters are handy).

So is this valid, or is it a bug?
