Game Data	Strategy

Badges are the necessary "replay value" component of DoomRL. There are a total of 147 badges, split into six categories:

Bronze badges are the easiest to achieve. Anyone should be able to get these after they start playing the game.
Silver badges are the "medium" set of badges to achieve. They are a bit harder and more luck-based than the bronze, but the average player should get all of these over time, with the exception of a few obtuse ones that many players skip over.
Gold badges are, with the exception of a few gimmes, where it can start getting challenging to achieve, as many require Ultra-violence victories or playing the more difficult challenge modes. Serious DRL players tend to make it a long term goal to achieve every gold badge, as it demonstrates an overall high level of competency in DRL, without having to venture into the Nightmare difficulty or the more crazy challenges the higher tier badges require.
Platinum badges are the very hard ones, forcing you to challenge yourself on the Nightmare! difficulty, or winning arduous challenges on Ultra-Violence. The typical long-term player won't get more than a handful of these in their field of expertise, and the hardcore will have significant trouble scrounging up the rest.
Diamond badges are immensely difficult to get, as they require not only a veteran's worth of experience but a thorough mastery of the game and a great deal of luck at the same time. If you obtain one of these, it is highly recommended that you post your mortem on the Chaosforge forums as proof, for it is quite a boast to say that you have gained a Diamond badge. Obtaining every diamond badge can be considered the idealistic endpoint in a player's quest to truly conquer DRL.
Angelic badges are all absurdly difficult not only to achieve, but to even plan for in concept. Most angelic badges require incredible intimate knowledge of the game, the patience to methodically disassemble every problem the game throws at you and solve them without error, and some of the most godly luck imaginable. It is no exaggeration to say that the Angelic badges were created for maybe two or three people to ever earn. Several are even currently considered unwinnable without excessive save scumming or outright cheating.

Badges improve your skill rank and are necessary to gain access to all of the difficulties and challenges in DoomRL.
