The item Procipinee's Crown is basically mandatory equipment. Im Just throwing this out there... could this be removed for the sake of not always using a creation point on the same thing.
It's called self control and trying something new for a change 
Also whats going on with the monsters running loose, banding up with monsters in lairs, and then leaving as one new group. The lairs are left open for sneaky people grabbing awesome gear free, an you have ungodly mob groups skipping around laying waste and creating player panic.
Usually happens when somebody releases the layer by building a city too close to the lair. The world is dangerous and it should remain so... the bigger complaint is that the player tends to be careful not to do this, while the AI is not so careful... I call it carefully planned AI with a random streak in them to hopefully kill you with very dangerous monsters.
I don't think there is much to change here, as I do enjoy both features and I don't ever pick Procipinee's Crown at unit creation. If I feel like using the crown I use Procipinee.
