It gave me an 11, whatever that means.

Thanks, I wasn't totally clear on on how the resolution and fighter
scale played together. I never noticed before now that the game runs
at 800x600.

I just took a look at that 100x150 pixel resolution. It shouldn't be
any problem to design maps for this resolution, and still be able to
create somewhat narrow tunnels.



I been playing a bit with rules.xml. Attack/healing seems to happen
very fast with those values:

  <int key="fighter-attack" value="10000"/>
  <int key="fighter-defense" value="1000"/>
  <int key="fighter-new-health" value="10000"/>

But everything is slow here:

  <int key="fighter-attack" value="10"/>
  <int key="fighter-defense" value="1"/>
  <int key="fighter-new-health" value="10"/>

Compared to each other, the 3 values have the same proportions. So I
don't understand it. But as long as it works :-)
