This mod features four new NPC?s that will aid you against monsters.



How it Works:
You start with building a block for the mobs to spawn on.

Like this:
Tier two:



Bow = Archer Block
Sword = Knight Block

Tier 1
Archer
The Archer is stationary and will not move.
The Shoot Arrows. (obviously)
Will attack Monsters within range.
Ideal for putting on high places. (Like a wall or a small tower.)
Will not despawn.

Knight
Will move around.
The Knight have a good amount of health.
Knights attack Mosters on Sight.

Mercenary.
Will stand still on the Mercenary post until you hire him.
Give him a gold ingot and he will fight for you.
Right click to tell him to stay and wait.
They will not despawn if hired.
Attack monsters on sight.
Mercenarys have two textures. One when they are told to wait and one when they are following the player.

Following Mercenary:

Mercenary Tier one and tier two:

Mage
Sets enemies on fire.
Random chance to make enemies exlode.
The spawner is created with medallions found in enemy castles.

Tier 2
Diamond Archers
2x Faster reload time.

The block is basicly a mob spawner that spawns the type of Mob it was made for,So any mob spawned stays.

[thomasl4d]

They move around the spawn block. But making them follow is certainly something i will try to implement in future Versions. If you destroy the block they only stop spawning, the NPCs will not despawn.

I dont know the exact radious but the mobs wants to be close to the spawner. Like monsters wants to be in dark places.

[Rojman]

I think it needs more work on the textures. And on the skin of the archer.but it has potential.
