Seems you will have hard time implementing all these into 81 bytes 
AFAIK as I know it is a 48K game on ZX Spectrum.

I wonder if it could be released as a cartridge game. The game would have 16k or even over 31 for code and static data, and all memory would be available to work with. Although I understand the joy of the challenge cramming everything into 16k altogether.

MMSZ - could be a bit tricky. I’ve already completed 2 rounds of optimisation. I feel more coming in.
LUCA - lol
I was thinking about releasing it as a cassette with the Wizard and Serf graphics being loaded in once selected.
There’s also some possible optimisation with the map handling routines.
We shall see. :-/
