Castle Defenders  Back from the dead

This mod features new NPCs that will aid you against monsters.

Mod review by Vox Populi


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



Bow = Archer Block
Sword = Knight Block

Archer
The Archer is stationary and will not move.
They 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.
The Merc no longer has a recipe, now you have to hire him in a mercenary post which can be found around the world
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 Archer (NEW)
Same as the other merc. This one uses the bow.
Give him a gold ingot and he will follow you.

Mercenary stronghold and tent(NEW):

Mage
The mage can be spawned if you have a medallion and an enemy mage spawner.
They will set your enemys on fire and they have a chanse to strike them with lightning.


The recipe:


The Medallion
The Medallion is an item found inside enemy castles. Your defenders will follow you if you hold it. (Like animals following wheat)

Used to create mage spawners.


Enemy Castles



Enemy campsite(NEW)

Spoiler:

Enemy castles is generated in the world. These castles contains chest where you can find varius items. They are however heavily defended. TNT is a good way of take them out.There are two castle types one with an extra tower.(Nothing special there yet)

In the middle of the castle there is an ememy knight spawner and  the walls are filled with enemy archer spawners. The Enemy archerspawner looks like a dark cobblestone block. The knight spawner look like a red stick.

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

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.
