Verdania Village has already had a few ups and downs, population-wise. As Testificates are avowed pacifists, I’m going to have to invest in some defenses.
Mods Encountered
Forestry 2.2.8.3 by Sir Sengir: This adds both an Apiarist and a Forester villager, and they’re well worth getting your hands on. Mod villagers can turn up as the result of any villager breeding. I could really do with some Mystcraft librarians to be born.
Ars Magica 5.52.013 by Mithion: While I may keep calling it “Transpose”, the Transplace spell is super-useful for all sorts of antics. From dragging a Travelling Merchant all the way from the plains, to getting your elephant to jolly well get into his enclosure, it has a million uses.
Utility Mobs 2.0.1 by Father Toast: I cannot watch over the village all the time, so I’m glad to have the options that Utility Mobs provide. Ars Magica and Thaumcraft will also be providing me with some other golem choices eventually.
The turrets and golems take damage like any other entity, so they probably won’t last too long, but they’ll likely save a life or two in the process.
Thaumcraft Golems would make nice guards.
