Suggestion Iron Golems in 1.2

[DaShniper]

Regarding Iron Golems...

For 1.2, I think it would be cool idea to pay for Iron Golems to act as sentries for towns. The obvious problem here is that towns have tens of thousands of dollars, so any given town could be too well defended, so my easy fix to this is to make the Iron Golems cost more as you go on. By this I mean that the first one would be 750c, then the second one would be 800c and so on. Let me know if you think it's a good idea.

If I remember correctly, Kainzo said that Iron Golems could be acquired for town defense of "good karma" towns once the karma system is put in place. Or so he hoped...

 

[DaShniper]

Well maybe they could be acquired in two ways, and buying them is bad karma, but achieving them with good karma doesn't affect your karma level.

 

[TheTMTrainer]

They should also be a summon for a class. (like Beguilers?)

 

[agentjwall]

I was thinking it would be cool if a profession could make them (engineers maybe?). When created they would be assigned to protect a regioned area and they would try to protect anyone who has access to that region. That way IGs would be able to decern between friend and foe in a battle ^^,

 

[DaShniper]

TM, that idea is OK, but they'd only have to be able to stay for like 30-45s and it would take like 75 mana.

Engineers could use a working and useful skill.

Engineers could use a working and useful skill.

It's the redstone class. Golems have nothing to do with redstone, so it seems unfitting for the class. Unless it was made into an IC that summoned a guardian.

I would just like a useful working ability. I doubt the IC would work if it were brought over and HC does not create that plugin anyway.

If you don't find the circuits and pistons useful you probably shouldn't go engineer to begin with, though.

 

[Kainzo]

It's our desire to have Iron Golems as "guards" but we'll see how we can get that to work.

You misunderstand my meaning. I love engineer for the skills that work but I aspire to use some of the more unique and incredibly useful abilities that are available but not working.

Masons are the builders.

clearly smiths and enchanters are the 2 most fitting options.

 

[agentjwall]

My reasoning behind engineer is that Iron Golems are a sort of machine, and Engineers build machines. IMO they go together hand and hand but I'd be up for other possibilities...

i thought exactly the same before, and i thought it would make the engineer class more popular, but a golem is animated matter, not a machine...
anyways, it looks like neither of them are getting the golem summon, so we dont have to argue about that
