  1. Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one troll in the current room.
  2. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's an ugly troll, a short troll, a skinny troll, etc.
  3. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's an ugly troll, a short troll, a skinny troll, etc.
  4. Use form four when there are many instances of <target> present, and you want to attack one of them in particular.

When you Attack something, you initiate a fight which may or may not turn out to have lethal consequences, depending on whether you're also wielding a weapon; whether your opponent is wielding a weapon; and who gets lucky.

The Dungeon parser has limited NLP capability. You can successfully use "attack the troll" and a few other variations.
