Good point. Zookeeper just made a couple of valid suggestions on IRC,
which I integrate with yours as follows: We take away the Hunter's
melee attack and the Citizen's missile attack, mess with the
alignments, and change the advancement tree.
Name Alignment GP HP Melee Ranged
------- --------- -- -- ------------- -------------
Peasant Neutral* 8 18 5-2 pitchfork 4-1 pitchfork
Hunter Neutral 8 18 - 4-3 bow
Townsman Neutral 8 18 4-3 cudgel -
Peasants advance to any of: Spearman, Bowman, Poacher*, Thug*.
Hunters advance to Poacher or Bowman
Townsmen advance to Spearman or Thug
This takes care of the RIPLIB problem. The advancemnt tree is cleaner,
too, and Townsman is more distinguished from a weak spearman.
Hmmm...this is actually *much* better than my original proposal.
I wonder if it makes Hunter and Townsman a bit too weak, though.
Maybe they should go to 5-3 on their attacks?
