I'd remove all monsters from town, or at least hide them.
Or make them non aggressive, and they start attacking if player attacks.

Or else we'll need to explain why the town guards are that incompetent! :)

Well yes, you're supposed to know what your neighbourgs are up to :)
That'll require much work to link information, of course.





So, anyone willing to rewrite the in town maps? :)
I'd start with Darcap, since there aren't that many maps.
