Level feelings are there for showing up "special" levels (original 
angaband doesn't have preserve mode) and giving player information that 
this or that level might be unusual. Unusual levels are not weakness in 
dungeon generation, it is its strong point. If every level is the same 
it gets boring very fast.

Why not go for what several variants have done, IE. give level feeling 
only after some time has passed _in level_.

That part I agree. Pits give superb level feeling too easily, very OoD 
dangerous monster not easily enough. in-level artifact usually doesn't 
boost level rating almost at all unless you play preserve off. Rating 
levels could be quite difficult task to do well.

BTW. for pits, could you remove Troll Priests from them? They are not 
included in pits originally. Or take out FORCE_MAXHP flag from them? (I 
count them very annoying monsters).
