I notice that Robert Abbott has had some correspondance where he agrees on
some simple changes to the Ultima rules to correct the flaw that he saw
in
the original game design (that defence was more effective than offence).
Would it be possible to add an Ultima variant here that incorporates the
'revised' rules?

Having played Ultima (very intermittently) since my schooldays, I have to
say that I think the proposed revisions make sense...
