Mobs with Armor/Weapon drops

[Deez 47]

So the players from Alpha will remember this, but Skeletons and Zombies used to be found wearing armor. I think that was a wonderful thing that should have never been removed, so if possible I'd like to see them come back with our new TFC armors and weapons.

[Teranz 37]

Oh yeah! Good old times. But wouldnt you think it would be quiet weird to see a zombie army all in different colour armors? It also would be realy hard to kill them to.

1. In vMC yeah, in TFC most metals are greyish.

2. Well maybe they start wearing it when you get to bronze age.

Plus when you add armor to enemies you usually buff the weapons.

That means we should be able to color our armor! (they all have different shapes, so you still know what sort it is.

[SierraKhaar 20]

True, as long as enemies don't color them ^^

[Deez 47]

I don't normally fight armies of mobs. They tend to spawn individually for me.

...

But the TFC armors are a variety of styles/colors/shapes/etc.

I would love to fight a black steel Army of zombies and skeletons...But wait?

How can spiders wear armor? Horse armor or something?

This is a good idea, and I want to implement it guys, but we need to first outline how we control this. We don't want to make this an rpg per se and it might be dificult to handle increasing the tool tiers of mobs.

[Lumireaver 101]

I nominate lunar cycles. The darker the night sky, the tougher the mobs

Or if you're doing that mob-nest thing I've heard about, the nest mobs can be armoured.

maybe it would be quite rare to see armor or weapon wilding mobs, the armor wouldnt be as effective as if you were wearing it(maybe 1/2 as effective?) and the weapons would also go by this same rule

also the mobs would have a 100% chance to drop the item they are wearing seeing as they were so rare

sword or mace weilding skelletons anyone?

unfortunately, thats the whole problem. We don't want easy ways out. It's one of the reasons we scrapped diamond tools, because once you find the diamond, it's just a super tool. We feel it's too easy to get, so we don't want easy to get tools, armour or weapons

well thats why the armor wearing mobs would be really rare to find
