It is only dangerous for the stupid ones, and the people who die. With a little
forthought you could almost go on forever without being at any serious risk
to dieing, and at this point all you really have to do is succeed for about
3 to 4 months, which is relatively simple to do, and then you suddenly become
beyond most peoples combat abilities. So any `revenge force' is usually for
naught against you. I reiterate if bashing people is the most profitable way
of making money you have started a rolling ball that anyone with a brain can
get behind, and you have an almost completely warlord game setup. About the
only good thing about the current setup is that against most `warriors' with
a brain any sizeable defense force will be enough to deter them, since they
will lose too many people in the attack. Of course people who have had the
ball rolling long enough like Dr. Pain find they can take anyone on in sight,
and the game is more a question of how long it is till Dr. Pain comes to
town, and kills everyone (not just the people who didn't build up a defensive
force to fight him off.) Of course always havin under 1000 gold is another
good defense. At least you probably weren't worth attacking when you die.
Gee what a consolation.
