Hello! ^_^

This one may sound farfetched, but I thought I may as well post it here to gather an opinion.

---

The Origin:

Well, you have a huge, huge castle. It took an hour, perhaps even TWO to make.

But... it feels so empty, and you cry. Even your tribemates can't fill the empty void in your heart.(+5 for emo)

So, in a solution, you make multiple people out of bread and coins. They all look sincerely annoyed. You are again sad. Your tribemates call you "freeky asf."

Sometime along the road, your valiant castle is raided. You are killed, your people blown up, and your tribemates enslaved.

Luckily, your castle is intact, as for the raider had only gunpowder.

You return, you rebuild. Your tribemates come back as well, and you thrive.

But, you had learned from your previous mistake. You need Guards. You try to recruit people, but everyone who says "yes" is either A. Waiting to steal from you or B. Can't hold a sword for the life of them.

You can't control a person either. That real person can change loyalty whenever.

---

The Solution:

Make AI Guards. These Guards are controlled by a GUI when clicked on, and there is one option,

"Attack"

To make one attack, you need to click on someone within an 50 stud range. The Guard will then charge forward, and attempt an attack. If by chance they lose their enemy, they return to the exact position you placed them at.

---

Stats:

To prevent the Guards from being over-powered and abused, they will be clad in Armor of your choice and will wield (an Spear or Sword?) to attack with.

The guards themselves will only have 25 base HP, so when let's say Iron armor is counted in, their total HP will be 150, strong, but not strong enough to be overpowering and just weak enough to fall in two headstrikes with a steel sword.

A reminder is that they will be AI, so they will just follow the opponent linearly until they die.

Also, you can only control one Guard at a time, meaning having too many will be pointless due to the time it would take to click them, then accurately clicking a player that is possibly moving, and then pressing "Attack" in a GUI, making multiple unnecessary unless you're being swamped by a large steel/mithril tribe, in which case, a little help is acceptable, considering there's only 18 people in a server and that at most you MAY have 2-3 people to help defend against 6.

---

The Barracks:

Now, for the Barracks. The Barracks would be a stone building about the size of a Smeltery, with a private door so that no one else can get in and spam soldiers inside YOUR Kingdom.

Inside there would be a 5 * 3 * 2 block called the "Guard Former."

There's not much else to be said about the Barracks other than you can't place your Guards more than 10-15 studs away from the "Guard Former," similar to how you can't place Quarries a certain distance from a stone source.

Finally

The Recipe:

Very similar to a person, except for a few tweaks,

(Guard Former) + Bread + Gold Coin + Gold Coin + 2 Refined Ores + Whatever Armor
