Well, result2 is unused in owl_attack/defend, and for the _result_ part of
the cache entry, I don't see a need to have it work identically for
different parts of the engine, you just need to provide different
macros.
If you can assure that the order of worms in catalog_goal is
reproducable, then it might be sufficient to store the number of the
worm in that list, so you could get away with 5-6 bits for almost
any dragon?
