I managed to spawn within sight of a village on my new 1.2 save, and went straight to it. I've had zombie sieges on the first three nights, and now there are only four villagers left, trapped inside a small sand cube I built "for their safety".
Not too far outside the village while cutting down a tree in broad daylight, a zombie attacked me, and wasn't on fire from sunlight.
No matter how smart they make the AI, sooner or later, players will figure out how to exploit it. Until Minecraft becomes sentient.
Making a task time consuming does not make it difficult. If you want to make it harder to get diamond, code it so it only spawns over pools of lava or something. Simply mining blindly through the ground, while making diamond seem more difficult to find, is only taking a mundane task that essentially only takes up time. By the logic that time = difficulty, WoW is one of the most difficult games on the planet.
If you want, I could argue that having tons of caves everywhere makes the game more difficult because you need to find, and light up all the holes in the earth so that you can earn the right to have all the NPCs spawn on the surface. You essentially have to flush them out of their holes to fight them.
You may not have made this map, but you found, and shared a great seed. To top things off, you gave a great description, and provided plenty of screen shots. For all of this, I thank you.
