“if they ever become the target of the Werewolves,”

If there happens to be 3 werewolves, this might come into effect if as many as 2 target the villager, correct? Maybe it should say ‘all the werewolves’.

I don’t think the specific wording is a sticking point here. Seems like fun, although perhaps a bit unbalanced.  Then again, we can probably expect a veto if we try to employ too many archers.

The problem is more that “becoming the target” and “being attacked” are quite different things - you can become their target during the Daytime. We can fix this in the first Town Meeting to recruit militia, though.

But I’d like to see provisions for Mayoral announcements when a militiaperson escapes, gets a clue, etc.  Otherwise it’s handing too much lynch-directing power to the militia (“I got a clue, and it’s Z!”).

Seems rather unbalanced.

The lynch-direction probably isn’t that strong - people will be aware that it could just be a clue from a lying werewolf, and the officer will have to choose between lying convincingly early (and risking someone showing up genuinely dead a few hours later), and not mentioning the attack until the next morning.
