Who needs to adventure and kill monsters in caves when killing human villagers is equally or more satisfying.

Caves usualy don't have archers unless you are in a goblin/kobold one.

I got killed when a peasant threw something at me (I think :P)... but I DID get to kill a few children, a merchant and the major...

All you have to do, currently, to kill an entire town is to go find one where its cold, and go to sleep there.

Villager 1: You know, I just realised something
Villager 2: Yeah me too, every since that adventurer came here...
Villager 1: Yeah, its cold, I think I'm going to freeze to death
Villager 2: I bet he was sent by the devils! Kill him!

I've found that if you are really fast and have a legendary wrestling skill, armor is not absolutely necessary.  I've cleaned out entire dark fortresses, killed hydras and titans, and done all kinds of crazy stuff with a character wearing no armor other than a helmet, boots and gauntlets, and no shield.  Being fast and having a high dodge skill is enough to stay alive, though I am sure that using armor doesn't hurt if your skill is high and you aren't slowed down.

Since there are a lot of human civilizations, you can easily steal from a town with both iron weapons and iron armor after doing the 'level up' plan that BDR outlined. Merchants usually carry thousands of coins, so if you grab them and stuff them into your pack while sneaking they still won't notice. Just make sure not to run into anybody while sneaking around, leaving a shop with stolen merchant goods will instantly make the entire civilization dedicated to your death and the guards in towns are surprisingly good.

If a merchant or child sees you, kill them as quick as possible because they'll start broadcasting your location to every other human in the town. It shouldn't be hard with the new goodies you have.

Ideally before you choose the civ to piss off you want to find an iron goods of superior or so make. Always examine goods, it's tedious (and fills up your legends screen with useless stuff), but a lot of <<Iron>> actually just have well-crafted spikes of deer bone or the like and are merely normally crafted themselves. Merchants are crafty fellows, selling that junk.

If you're really daring, also steal everything of value and go to the next town, but this is just asking to get mobbed by guards eventually due to bad luck. Guard gangbang is right next to Skelly gangbang in terms of suckitude.
