I think it's safe to call the harpoon a harpoon. Since it doesn't really fit into any other weapon classes outside of acting somewhat like a very bizarre spear.

I think we need more harpoon class weapons.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I tend to get a few in each invasion, although that's mostly in multiplayer, so there's a lot more goblins.

Ballistae!

[Sirus]

Another question: I've been thinking of crafting a war banner from all the scraps of cloth I've been gathering, but I want to keep my NPCs alive. If I built a "fort" far away from my home, would the goblins show up there and skip the village?

[Darvi]

Depends entirely on your current position, as they don't spawn anywhere except in the immediate vicinity.

[Sirus]

Well, with that whole "A goblin army is approaching from the east/west!" thing, I wasn't sure if they just spawned near you or if they actually traveled from those directions.

[Flying Dice]

An initial group of 5 or so will spawn at either left side (west) or east side (right) and travel to your spawn. Once there, others will start spawning on-site.

[Darvi]

Well travelling to the direction they come from (East is to the left, fyi) appears to spawn them earlier.

Ninja.

[zakkeh]

Insofar as I've seen, they will keep travelling until they reach the spawn area of the map, where you initially began. Then they spawn around you. I don't think moving towards the army will stop it's progress, but it will begin to spawn goblins near you.

(East is to the left, fyi)

Not anymore. I remember the first time I went on Kael's server there was an invasion coming from the "east" and I was going to the left and Lillian/OrangeBottle was going to the right and he/she hit them, not me. I believe the compass says so too.

Pretty sure it's always been like a compass rose.

Well, replace North and South with Up and Down. There you go.

If that was true, then the sun would set in the East, instead of the West like it does on Earth.

[Orangebottle]

Maybe terraria is just that backwards.

[Frumple]

Not. All. Planets. Spin. The. Same. Direction.

Napstsd.

West is left. Left is beautiful. West is beauty. Real-world-centrists! CAST OFF YOUR CHAINS! Today, the sun rises in the west. Embrace it.

By which I mean free for all PvP flamethrower fight at dawn. Feel the burn, heeheehee.

Or the game's perspective camera is just facing the wrong direction. From North to South instead of South to North.
