Clockwork Crusade
“Curious constructs are approaching from the east/west!”
The Clockwork Crusade is a whimsical Clockpunk-themed event that occurs during Hardmode. Its basic aesthetic revolves around stereotypical high-class British culture, mechanical clockwork, and early daVinci inventions. It replaces the Pirate Invasion event in alternate worlds and follows the same criteria to occur.
The Clockwork Crusade can be manually be summoned by Pinkerton’s Pocketwatch, a curious device dropped by flying enemies. Invented by Professor Pinkerton himself, the pocketwatch overlays an alternate timeline in which steam powered technology became the new craze and mechanical augmentations were commonplace.
Sprites would be appreciated.
Automaton
HP: 350
DMG: 28
DEF: 20
A common soldier fitted with mechanical parts. Uses the Fighter AI, becoming faster as their health decreases.
Pinkerton’s Peeper
HP: 100
DMG: 100
DEF: 8
Levitating machines invented by the famous Professor Pinkerton, Pinkerton’s Peepers are eyeball-shaped brass spheres fitted with a mechanical propeller to keep them afloat. It follows the Probe AI, with periodic high velocity charge attacks. Lacks the ability to fly through walls.
Clockwork Construct
HP: 400
DMG: 65
DEF: 25
A spider-like mechanical creature with a large clock for a face. Attacks using Tortoise-like leap attacks, though with less horizontal range. The construct’s “gibs” persist for a while after death, rolling around and dealing minor damage.
Thingamabob
HP: 200
DMG: 50
DEF: 10
A fancy robotic butler, now malfunctioning with age. Thingamabobs are highly unpredictable, due to their habit of switching to random terrestrial mob AIs on the fly. One second they’ll be wandering around like an NPC, and the next they’ll be racing towards you with the Unicorn AI.
Flyboy
HP: 300
DMG: 40
DEF: 20
Primitive airplane-like vehicles, Flyboys pass back and forth over the player, dropping bombs that explode on contact with the ground. Upon reaching quarter health, Flyboys will essentially try to divebomb the player, exploding for heavy damage upon contact with anything.
Miraculous Flying Machine
HP: 9000
DMG: 28
DEF: 20
A large blimp-like vehicle, Miraculous Flying Machines keep afloat though a combination of lighter-than-air technology and electromagnetic equilibrium. They attack via heavy bursts of highly damaging steam, regularly spawning enemies.
Gentleman
HP: 3000
DMG:
70 (Melee)
60 (Gun)
150 (Steamshot)
DEF: 30
A finely dressed gentleman, monocle and all. His AI is similar to the Pirate Captain, but with a few things switched about. The Gentleman’s “default” attack is the steamshot, a giant brass ball fired at great speeds for high damage, though with a low reload rate. These projectiles persist after hitting tiles, rolling around like boulders.
Occasionally, the Gentleman will pull out a great clockwork minigun, which will fire a hail of gunfire. While in this state, the gun’s angle won’t change to track the player, so it’s probably best that you avoid it. You really don't want to be caught up in that.
