Attack Implementation II

[paddatrapper]

Fixes all of issue #73 and #97. Monsters now have a chance of spawning and a chance to automatically attack players. There are safe areas where danger = 0 in locations.json. The gold from the monster is gained by the player when he kills it. Attack option halves armour and multiplies damage by 1.75. Defence doubles armour and halves attack.

why 1.75 for damage and double for armour? not only the inconsistency but also the fact that choosing one option or the other isn't a bonus or stat boost. It just prioritizes one over the other. So I would think that if you chose one option (say attack) your attack stat would stay the same (there's no way it can magically rise unless critical hit) but the other stat (in this case, armour) would drop (by half although that may be a lot) because you're not paying too much attention to defending.

2 proved to big for attacking because it resulted in no fight - killed
monsters in 1 or 2 turns. So I reduced it

@paddatrapper that's why i'm proposing not to increase the relevant stat at all, just reduce the other one. Makes more sense to reduce than to attack since you're not actually increasing either attack or armour just making one less priority.

OK, sure. Will do
