Now that I had a well fortified wall to protect my home and my golem family, I now decided to try my hand at creating soldiers. I knew that Soldiers were created from a building called a Barracks. Before I could build one, I decided to clear some space around the trees just within the walls of my village. After doing so, I opened my status box and selected the option called "Military Buildings". I found an option called "Barracks" and selecting it, laid out the foundation for the building in the space that I had just cleared.
This time, to build a Barracks, a building hammer made entirely out of diamond appeared in my hand. I looked at it in awe for a few moments before I set of pounding away. I wanted to finish this work as quickly as possible, so I called a Villager golem to help me. Together, we pounded away with our respective diamond hammers and in about an hour and a half the building was complete.
The Barracks that I built looked nothing like what I had seen in the game. It looked like a large dining hall that military personnel might dine in. I entered the building and found it fully covered with walls that displayed several weapons such as spears, swords, shields, armour and helmets. It looked as though I had entered a weapons shop or an old war museum.
This was enough to assure myself that I had not wasted any wood by constructing the wrong building. Furthermore, it gave me the realization that all things didn't necessarily have to look a certain way to be considered as correct. With this revelation, I made my way out of the newly built Barracks building and opened my status box. I now had an option to access military units. I clicked on the "create spear-man" option eight times and waited. Spear-men required fifty wood and thirty gold per unit to be created. Luckily, I had enough of both.
The beings who appeared resembled the villager golems, but these golems were dressed in a primitive military helmet, wooden armour and carrying spears made of stone. I assembled them in a straight line and ordered them to patrol around the palisade wall. They set off at once without question. I knew that military units could be programmed to attack in a certain rhythm. They could spot an enemy and chase them till they escaped their line of sight, or they could attack to defend if an enemy came within their range, and so on. They could also increase the amount of firepower by residing in military buildings like towers and castles etc. In any event, I was glad of being successful at creating soldiers.
