Recruits Reborn

Bot villages. Next to the bell, where at least two inhabitants live, the village becomes a faction. It has its own name (like “Oakvale”), a flag, and guards at the bell: a standard‑bearer, swordsmen, archers, and engineers. The guards cannot be hired.
What the bots do. Once every 10 minutes of in‑game time (configurable) they fight, make peace, and form alliances. If you are nearby, raids come to the village and the battle takes place in the open. A village without fighters is captured, and neighbors can merge into a kingdom.
The diplomacy screen is accessed via the G key. For each faction, you can see the flag, the type (village, kingdom, or player), the number of villages, the relations, and the bot’s opinion. Buttons: war, peace, trade, alliance, break, accept, and decline. Only the faction leader controls the faction; players negotiate with each other through offers.
Bot opinion. A gift of an emerald to a village fighter gives +3. Killing their fighters gives −8, and at −40, the bot declares war. Trade opens from +10, an alliance from +30. Trade treaties bring you emeralds every round.
War in the world.Soldiers from warring factions attack each other, weapons, and players from the hostile faction. Outside of war, the bot doesn’t bother you. The explosions from your siege weapons now hit players from hostile factions.
