I like this enhancement, but it should have some restriction so that
you don't advance unless the forces are reasonably matched. If 50
elite guards beat up a noble, they shouldn't get an increase in
attack (or should they?) If your big army is repeatedly attacked by
small rats, should your defenese increase each time?
Is it worth implementing some kind of limit here, or should I just
award the bonus in all cases?

I'm wondering if there's some confusion over what this skill does.
Train angry peasants allows you to take regular peasants and turn
them into angry peasants, with TRAIN. It has nothing to do with raising
or rallying mobs, although the latter entities do also contain angry
peasants.
Perhaps one or the other should be removed from the game.
