Crossbow Defenders

Description
I present you the AI defenders mod.

This mod adds Placeable static crossbow units that will shoot on players and barbarians (and more)

New since 0.6.3.9: Lookout defenders will write down who and when they see someone. Added new "spying lookout" that has no banner and makes no sounds. He will write down when he spots and stops spotting someone.
New since 0.6.3: Defenders will take food and bolts from nearby wooden crates (40m search radius)

What the mod adds:

-Crossbow defender
-Lookout defender
-Command horn
-Arrowhead mold

The main feature is the Crossbow defender. He must be trained and equiped in the Training Station.
You can upgrade your defender to give him better stats. From Rookie to Veteran.
a Crossbow defender requires food, bolts, and bandages(optional)
When enemy players shoot your crossbow defenders it will go to the wounded state, if it has any bandages it will heal after a few minutes and be ready to fight again. It is important to give your defenders cover, as a wounded defender will be dead if hit again.

The Lookout defender will try to spot non-friendly players and blow his horn when he does.

The command horn can be used to place any defenders within range (can be set) to inactive mode. In this mode they will not do anything and also not consume food. This is usefull if you want to have any non-friendly players over.

The Arrowhead mold can be made in the Kiln. With this you can make 3 times as many bolts with the same amount of metal used.

Training defenders requires gold or silver. If you have a hard time finding it, consider using the Trading Post mod. You can sell any item and turn it into silver and gold

The research quest is found in the Militairy Section. Requires steel tools and metal weapons to start.

Extra care has been taken to make these performance friendly. The models have multiple lod's and server load is very small.

Yup. That was my first placement. The issue is consistent.

I have also discovered that if you travel away from that grid and then return, when it reloads the defender has vanished visually and interactively, even after it was visible before your departure from the area.

Does this also happen if you place them on an existing grid?

heres a odd situation to you peaceman. When placing and recruit of any type they are invisible. Re-connect to the server, and if your next to them, you can now see them. any placed recruit that was out of line of sight is invisible and cant be interacted with,

They do still function, ie shooting barbarians, you just cant see them or hear them shooting.

any thoughts ?

looks like they don't pick anything from crates(5x5) in CE. at least i've tested veteran lookout defender on PNL.

works great with C.E. - would be cool to have these be hostile and guarding the landmarks :-)

thanks peaceman :-)

You can interact with the scroll next to the spy

How do we see the players spotted by the spy?
