Suggestion Preserving the Testificate population

[rfgordan]

With the upcoming map, I strongly hope something can be done to save the Testificate villages. Not only are they important for trading 1.3, but they are part of the landscape. In dragon, all villages were griefed to shit, except the one in dg, and no testificates were left. Near the end (before the new map was announced) some players had planned to attempt repopulation with spawn eggs, but that was always impractical.

That said, I'm hard-pressed to think of a mechanism for protecting villages short of regions and invulnerability. If anyone can think of a more feasible solution please post here

Not sure if there's any alternative to regions. I've griefed villages in SSP and SMP because they're a great source of torches, wood, and food.

Maybe have a wall for each town, only allowing one person to go in at a time for trade services.

maybe have perms that only someone can kill one only every x amount of days or hours

They could be like the Cuccoos in Zelda.

They're invincible, but if you hit them enough times, they all swarm at you and attack you till you're nearly dead.

There is a way to make testificates invincible so they can't die ( I know they mean the same thing) then the only way people could fully destroy testificate population would be to completely destroy the villages themselfs.[DOUBLEPOST=1346797305,1346797274][/DOUBLEPOST]

You know you get four times as much tree for cutting logs as cutting wooden planks right?

Apologies for not clarifying; I'm talking about a situation where there's a plains biome with no trees (a normality on big servers), and an already partially-griefed village.

I kill caveman squidward.

Villagers will be kill-able but may be buffed to make it less appealing.

1 million hp?

 

[MultiHeartGold]

I want to see 1 million hp Testificate, and have someone test how many Diamond Swords break when killing it as Ninja. You know, for science.

You'll also need to make sure that they don't despawn or get mauled with ''MOB Wipes''.

Also, I'm not sure if a karma system is still in the works (I remember at one point it seemed like a big priority, I dont really hear about it now) but that would be an excellent way to protect villagers.

Lose exp upon killing a villager?

 

[Takemorii]

GraRona's idea is reasonable, but I really like the Cucoos idea.
