Kingdoms: Villager Retaliation!

Kingdoms: Villager Retaliation! expands vanilla villagers into communities with distinct skills, moods, behaviors, relationships, and routines, giving players ways to build trust, work alongside residents, or provoke their retaliation. Players can hire adults for 13 contract roles, including combat, hunting, mining, logging, farming, fishing, brewing, crafting, animal handling, cooking, smelting, courier work, and nitwit, then manage workers’ routes, equipment, storage, filters, work areas, and wages with a Clipboard. Workers improve their job skills through experience, while personal wallets, renewable contracts, Payment Boxes, Sell Boxes with changing daily prices, and couriers moving goods and proceeds support a village economy. Villagers can also join a party with inventory controls and combat modes, receive quick commands such as Follow, Stay, Regroup, Stand Guard, and Gather Drops, and be assigned horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, or camels for travel. Players can lead raids with their party by wearing an ominous banner and sounding a goat horn in a tracked village, where defenders gather and the outcome is remembered; eligible villagers and nearby players can also be challenged to non-lethal duels with optional kits and wagers. The mod includes 85 quests, ranging from repeatable village requests to branching adventures with different paths and outcomes, and a journal for tracking multiple stories at once. Each villager maintains a separate, persistent relationship with each player, across nine configurable standing tiers from Feared to Royalty; witnessed actions can spread as gossip, while temporary moods and village allegiance also shape reactions. Trading, gifts, quests, healing, and defending a village can earn trust, while harming residents or golems, stealing watched property, or damaging protected beds and containers can turn a community against the player. Reputation affects dialogue, prices, contracts, quests, services, and whether villagers flee or become aggressive, while village allegiance determines whether residents and iron golems treat a fight as friendly, foreign, or criminal. Most major systems can be tuned or disabled, and the mod extends rather than replaces vanilla villagers, though compatibility may vary with mods that heavily alter villager AI, trading, combat, rendering, or entity classes.
