Sometimes, the sand monsters wander around lonely on a server, minding their own business:
Once they see an adventurer, they rush forward immediately. After having fought off several such attacks on the AdventureTest server, I thought that they ought to have a home to live at. A place where they can peacefullly roam around. Nothing fancy - those poor, undernourished guys can't afford luxory homes. Thus, the bigger rooms are 3x3m, while the smaller ones are only 2x2 m in size. Their new
sandcity village type for
mg_villages is meant to house those poor sand guys:
(Note that the buildings are connected directly to each other for better protection)

In contrast to other village types, this one does not play with diffrent materials. All they've got is some sandstone blocks (clay might work as well). If someone has an idea for a good texture, it might be possible to occasionally hide a small hole/cache inside the sandstone slabs used for floors and roofs.
