Mercs And Menaces (On Hiatus)

This modification introduces brave mercenaries ready to fight alongside you in battles!

Who are the mercenaries?

After rebirth, illagers or villagers who were on the path to becoming villains decided to protect villages from their former comrades! These repentant warriors typically inhabit taverns - completely new structures appearing in your world. You can hire them into service using invitation scrolls!

How to summon allies?

Crafting a mercenary scroll requires significant costs: paper goes in the central crafting table slot, surrounded by four emeralds at the corners.

However, be aware: the warriors' service term is limited! After one in-game week, hired fighters terminate their contract, though you can extend the agreement using additional scrolls. Interestingly, each new document increases service time by a full day - give a mercenary five scrolls, and they'll stay with you for the next five days!

Permanent defenders

If desired, you can conclude an indefinite contract with combat companions, but prepare for the substantial price of such privilege.

Types of mercenaries

Three types of professional fighters permanently stay in taverns waiting for employers. Two additional special types can be found in the wild: one roams through untamed territories, while the other appears only to commanders who managed to gather an entire squad of protectors.

Equipment and survival

Allies can be additionally protected with armor and equipped with various weapon types depending on their combat specialization.

It's worth noting: when receiving mortal wounds, mercenaries don't die immediately - the player has a full day to save their comrade using a golden apple! Miss the timing, and the fighter will perish forever.
