Preferring nearby inns wouldn't really solve the problem as I see it. 
It would also add to the other problem.

I had a neat idea, though: Units who are busy are engrossed in their 
task and will usually prefer the closest available inn. On the other 
hand, units who are just lazing around with nothing to do won't care 
about what they're doing, and will usually just pick the in with the 
most fruit.

It would prevent you from being defeated so easily by just having all 
your workers convert, and prevent your attacks from being decimated by 
your warriors converting to the enemy. On the other hand, if your 
workers are just lazing about, your community is mismanaged and they 
start converting. It would also hinder the converters if they have tons 
of extra converted lazy units, who would be easier to convert back.

It would hardly even up the things I'm talking about, since I am still 
on version 0.8.13 where fruit doesn't cost warriors any armor at all.

A level 2 tower, with 40 damage, deals 30 damage to an unhappy, 112-HP 
Warrior per hit, basically killing it in three hits. I see it's been 
changed though, so it would now kill a 250-HP warrior in 7 hits. Even 
if he's stuffed with fruit, it would still take 4 hits. I'd have to 
play to see what it's like in the newer version.
