Revealing secrets about the code:  flee isn't really there yet; it's
just a printf().  A form of it will be there in the new combat code.

I am considering ways to make archery more effective.  As it stands,
archery is always a weak sister to combat.  There is a bonus in for
being mounted on war horses.

My first idea for adding archery was to divide the combat round into
phases, and allow ranged attacks first, then do hand-to-hand.  I don't
especially like this, though; I don't want to give each unit 2 attacks
per round every round.  I might stick in a "free archery attack" every
couple of rounds or something.  Gak.  Too artificial...
