I think the original mechanism works just fine where dragons easily slay tens of peasants at a time, even the toughest and strongest of dragons couldn't handle more than that except if they threw themselves at the peasants and rolled on the ground, forfeiting any chance of defense against retaliation. Your analogy lacks depth.

It is of course, your prerogative to express such opinion, however, I am not sure how to interpret it.
Do you mean that this mod is rubbish and it should not have seen the light of day?
Or, do you have an algorithm that would work better?
Do you mean that the original is the best?

I am open to suggestions here - my mod is an attempt to make it more realistic, and I think that the Power4 version was the right way to go. It is quite natural (since it is an initial release that is rather one-sided) that I might be wrong, but it's up to you to suggest a more realistic solution.
