I was just thinking that NPC's will seem very bland like they are now, but maybe NPC's should have type. I mean, there should be a general NPC AI, but some should be special. And maybe villages should have a certain government, as in maybe in some villages they are ruled by a president, in some they are ruled by a King, or Emperor, etc. Here are some examples of what I mean.
NPC TYPES
(Some of these assume that you will be able to chat with NPCs)
-Inventor
This NPC should randomly build certain Redstone creations, like Roller-coasters, and Traps around the village. He should also be a little insane, so he might make crazy movements. He should also give items when he receives redstone,pistons, and other redstone powered creations.
-Soldier
This NPC should protect the town. He should patrol during the day time, and the night time. If you hold up a weapon towards him, he should stare at you, and if you attack him, he will attack you, as well as other soldier-types in the area.
-Leader
This NPC should patrol around town and declare war on other towns. Depending on the amount of soldiers in the town, resources available, and the "guessed"(actually randomly generated, as in he randomly generates a number that he believes the enemy strength to be) enemy strength, he will declare war on the other village/city.
-Wise man/Prophet(Adventure Only) STILL THINKING OF IDEAS FOR THIS
-Builder
This NPC simply builds, and expands the size of the town.
-Miner
This NPC simply mines, and puts resources in chests.
(section will be expanded based on comments. GOVERNMENTS
inventor: no, thats rediculous. redstone things like that are only cool when peoplemae them, and only people need them. if you want and NPC to do it your lazy.
soldier: no/yes, so basic you didn't need to suggest it without really special bonusesor details.
leader: yes/no, a village does need a leader, but they should only be the village equivilant of a boss* if you decide to attack. (*) I simpley mean he's the strongest NPC in town. also no village wars. villages should be be more focused on building then battle. besides the player needs to be kept out of village affairs and war would involve everyone.
govs: NO, completely unesccisary. villages could be different based on culture not their leader way of ruling.

I think you misunderstood about Inventors, I was saying that the Inventor would make different redstone creations for the Village. I wasn't asking for them to make it for you, even though players would be able to do that. They would be, for example, randomly generated minecart rollercoasters, piston machines, etc.
BTW: *ridiculous *people make * equivalent *unnecessary
Your comment didn't bring much to the table except insults. Maybe I should have added "Constructive Criticism only".
