This suggestion seems like the type that may have been suggested before, but I don't think that if it has been suggested before, it was suggested recently.

Intro: My suggestion is about the addition of statues into the mod. These statues would be akin to the troll statues and wargskin rugs that already exist in the mod.

Why statues?: I personally long for some architectural flourishes in my bases. While there are carved blocks that exist already, I don't feel that suit the needs of builders like me.

The Idea: Each faction has their own type of statue, craftable on their crafting table. There would be four parts needed to create the statue (similar to the mounted troll totem pieces). The first part would be crafted like a helmet, but using your preferred faction's carved brick. The second piece would be crafted like a chestplate with carved brick, the third piece like a pair of leggings using carved brick, and the fourth piece crafted using carved brick in the shape of a pair of boots. Once these parts have been crafted, they all must be placed on the faction's crafting table (shapeless crafting). This results in the creation of the faction's normal statue. This statue is in the shape of the warrior of that faction. However, it just stands there without any weapon. To customize your statue, you can use gold, silver, or mithril ingots to trim the statue like dwarven armor. If evil factions wish to do the same, they can use naurite or gulduril crystals to trim their statue. If a player wishes to give their statue a weapon, then they craft a weapon on their faction's crafting table using carved brick instead of ingots. These statues stand about 2-3 blocks high.

If you have anything to add to this suggestion, just let me know. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
