Since we have Cavemen Squidwards, Why not Tribal Spongebobs?
Im just kidding.
But dont you think it would be great to have a faction of NPC's that would do war on the others and take the supplies they steal back to their base? Pigman for example, you know, NPC's that can actually use their arms.
The main idea is:
1. Another faction
2. You can trade with both factions but the testificates like emeralds and the Pigmen like rubies
3. They go to war with eachother and take loot from other villages
4. They expand and might take over the other villages they plunder
5. Pigmen have a defensive mod that is known and the Golden Golem (we all know pigmen love gold)
6. The villagers will defend an entire biome (kind of like controlling a continent in RISK)
7. The more villages for one faction in a biome the more they prosper
8. If you kill pigman then the Testificates will like you more and offer you better prices or gear in trading.
More can be added later, just came up with this really quick.
This could work well. some parts anyway. It seems like notch is adding new things carefully so I wouldn't expect to see this so soon. it is a pretty big game changer.
Besides that testificates aren't very smart. they have a fairly simply roam AI atm. I've started making cliffs and floodgates to spread my villagers around my growing town. I'd have to assume pigmen would have the same. getting them to patrol and send raiding parties is very big changes. First I'd like to see them pick a home and stick to it.
Besides that I'd say it'd be better if they both used Emeralds.
I doubt we'll ever see vanilla villagers start building and mining because that would vastly alter the purpose and feel of the game and kind of the point too.
However I bet they could add npc man-able fortifications like ballistas, cannons, defense buttons(a button villagers are programmed to use during an attack regardless of function. Often rigged to lock gates or activate traps.
You completely read my mind. Totally up for this. I would like castle towns as well though and maybe various degrees of faction control in different areas. We could have a thing called a "superbiome" or continent, with the map being divided into 9 of these. Inside each, there can be multiple factions with different situations, such as a desert village haunted by ghosts or a kingdom spanning multiple biomes v.s another large kingdom. These differnet scenarios would add life to the game, all without any actual dialogue. Better, there could be different "cultures" with different habits. One might use weapons and hate pigmen, but have a lack of golems. Each culture could have even more variables simillar to the world generator, and have unique strengths and weaknesses, the most obvious being between pigmen, villagers, and whatever else there is (enderman villages perhaps? Skeleton Castles?) and the least obvious as simple as a back door into a heavily guarded pigman castle-city. Also, mermen? Dragonmen? Eaglemen? The possiblities are truly endless.
Gold Golems.... Did you see my thread? or just not search?
I read it right after i posted this and scrolled down a bit, It seems like a really great idea, and either Stone Golems, or Gold golems would work for my villages, i like the way you had the lapis incorperated into the gold golems. If they ever decide to add copper then i think that would be a better choice for the pigmen, but they do love gold!

..
1. Jeb is in charge, i like him better anyways (gets more work done that people like)
2. Even if the pigmen didnt do raiding parties it would still be a nice change to have them
3. It would be like how Canada has the Canadian dollar and England has the British Pound

i hope this gets implemented, or atleast a mod!
