Villager Recruits: Commander and Captain Update!
Transform peaceful village residents into combat recruits and command them like in Mount & Blade series games!
Main Features
You can hire village residents for emeralds through special management interfaces. Recruits feature advanced artificial intelligence that includes:
- Automatic food usage for healing
- Smart potion usage
- Best-in-class shield blocking system
- Ability to command soldier groups simultaneously
The system supports PvP mode and teamwork with custom interface. You can create city guards by assigning recruits to protect positions or disabling their response to commands.
Recruitment Process
Purchase special profession blocks from weaponsmiths or armorers at level 2. Place the block and wait until an unemployed resident accepts the recruit profession.
