Can't you infer what enemy you're facing based on the damage they do to you?

In the original, [ruby-warrior](https://github.com/ryanb/ruby-warrior), you can `listen` (at some point) to get an array of occupied spaces and then you can check if a space contains an enemy. If you're not immediately adjacent to an enemy but your warrior is taking damage you can infer you're being attacked by an archer (or another enemy with a ranged attack).

This is a really good idea that somehow I totally missed. I stopped playing at a level where this became important (as @elefantastisch noted above), but now I kind of want to pick it back up again. It's not guaranteed to work (different enemies might deal the same amounts of damage), but maybe location could help in those cases (i.e., if my warrior is being dealt a certain amount of damage and the space in front and behind the warrior is empty, one could infer the enemy is an archer).

Something for basic enemy assessment would allow for more tactical action, though. For example, checking armor and weapon types to switch between your own equipment (hammers vs heavy armor, swords vs cloth armor, spears vs spearmen or beasts with tough hides) - or putting together different signs to decide if an unarmored enemy is a wizard or a thief.
