Mod suggestion, Primitive Villages

[Samoja]

Just something i was thinking about. Wouldn't it be cool to find a primitive village out there and be their Tobias?

When you find the village it would be made up of a bunch of low huts made of packed dirt and thatch rooves. Something like this: https://www.davidwillis.info/wp-content/uploads/chiltern-iron-age-roundhouse.jpg

Villagers would all be using stone tools, stone spears and simple bows with stone arrows. 

Village would be divided into male hunters and female gatherers.

After doing a few things for them they would accept you as their leader (one idea i had was that when the player finds the village all the hunters are missing, having been driven into a nearby cave during a hunt by a pack of wolves. By killing all the wolves solo the player would prove themselves a powerful warrior to the locals).

From that point on you could make improvements to the village, building multiblock structures to accomplish certain things. Some structures like a food store would allow the village to slowly expand over time, other structures like blacksmith or farms (both fields and animal pens) would assign some of the villagers to roles like farmer or blacksmith, and let player trade with them.

Armory would allow the player to add weapons and armor to the village stores. Any male villager could be interacted with and temporarily recruited as either a hunter or warrior, and would get equipped accordingly (Hunters would take light armors like leather and bows, while warriors would equip best armors available and whatever weapon player selects).

Any villager that reaches 0 hp could be revived using a bandage of some sort, but if they are not revived in time they die permanently.

When assembling a warband player could raid other villages they find (player can only lead one village) and steal their stuff or kidnap their people. Kidnapped people would take some time to switch allegiance to your village but could be persuaded to if your village is much more impressive than the one they came from.

You can also form trade links with other villages, and again, if your village is much more impressive you could ask villagers from that other village to leave their village and move to yours.

This two ways of swelling your population would be only viable ways to expand your village in short timespan. Villagers would have children but those children would need years to reach maturity.

Heh. This is approximately how I play that other block game. I find a village and install myself as its protector. Then I move into the largest house and fortify the place, build out more housing to encourage population growth, provide any missing workstations, and trade my little heart out.

Not interested in raiding other villages, though. Trading, maybe.

Though at that point I'm pretty sure you're playing a different game.

I think you are describing this mod in its near entirety
