-- Got some feedback this was too hard .. So
- Balanced play wins ~60% on A0, ~40% on A1, ~10% on A2 (was 17 / 3 / 1%).
- **Knight HP 60 → 90, Rogue HP 50 → 75** — soaks late-game burst.
- **Enemies hit ~30% softer** late-game (`4..7 + floor/3`, was `5..8 + floor/2`).
- **Enemy HP scales 25–33% less** per floor (normal/elite/boss: 2/3/4 per floor, was 3/4/5).
- **Rest sites heal 50% max HP** (was 30%) — one rest fully tops off a half-dead Knight.
- **Ascension bonus softened**: +10%/level enemy HP (was +15%), so A2 is +20% (was +30%).
- Strategy still matters.
- Bug fixes and fixed crash reported ;)
