Recruits Living Villages Mod (1.20.1) – Command Armies and Conquer Rival Towns

Recruits Living Villages Mod extends the Recruits mod by giving your soldiers a real home to fight for. It turns normal factions into active settlements that live their own lives even when you walk away. The villages grow larger, villagers go to work, and armies prepare for battles. They can even declare war on other towns and conquer them. Everything runs quietly in the background, so the world keeps changing while you explore other places.

Features:

• Background Simulation: Keeps the town running, growing, and fighting even when you are far away in unloaded chunks.
• Emerald Economy: Collects taxes from villagers to pay for new buildings, soldiers, and upgrades.
• Villagers take on real jobs like farming and butchering, leveling up from Novice to Master to produce better food.
• Spawns armies with a chain of command, where leaders wear special gear and new leaders take over if one falls.
• Lets factions declare war, attack rival towns, and conquer them to collect more wealth.
• Calculates battle results behind the scenes based on troop levels, gear, and a bit of luck.
• Adds a clean village menu on lecterns to check your population, taxes, and soldier equipment.
• Upgrades houses and adds working mines that produce materials over time.
• Gives you a helpful tutorial book as soon as you join a world.
