There would need to be a limit of the soldiers so you dont just have a entir army fight your battles then it loses its point a little maybe like 5 soldiers not to strong either they shouldn't be able to defeat chutulu by themselfs but maybe strong enough to help 300-500 hp
Actually a better idea then having a set armour might be if you have to give each one their own armor both the decorative type and regular armor just like when equipping yourself the weapon by default would be a copper sword you could give them any type of sword. once they die tho they lose all the stuff you had equipped to them you could give them potions and set when they should use the potions like right away or not till close to dead
yeah..that is my point! but it is not a good idea...it is a big disappointment that there will be no more PC version
I'm guessing he wants somthing Where you have a NPC that you can buy contracts for soldiers that would either defend you or the location you spawned them maybe follow you but then they would get stuck probably
The Omnir Mod has that but it doesnt seem to be very usefull just a waste of space. http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/released-omnirs-modpacks.61543/
