Dear anyone reading this; A few tips on how to save yourself against the Apocalypse of the Goblin Variety. Build Blockades! There are a few different types. If you have a vilethorn, might I suggest building a tunnel under both sides of the point you're trying to defend, then you can shoot up your vilethorn through the tiles (Make sure you're only 1 tile between you and the outside world, and maybe keep a bow on you, or a gun, to kill Sorcerers that teleport down your tunnel.) As said in the article, lava moats are a good idea. Make them 8 across and as high as you want. If it's 8 across, the lava will probably spread out as a thin sheet, and not destroy any loot dropped in (Drop in any items you don't care about if you aren't sure if it's shallow enough.). Have ramparts. This is quite nice. I tend to have a tower, with lots of doors to open, and rain hell from the doorway upon the approaching goblins. If you just don't want risk to become of your NPCs, trap them in rooms that are very tight fitting. This way only the Sorcerers will hit them, which is unlikely anyway, but you can still interact with them. Anyways, I hope this helps out anyone unsure; But, remember, if you're really sweating it over the Goblin Invasion, one rule: Just don't break a shadow orb, and don't go over 200 HP! Hope this helps. :D
