Piglin Archers and Intimidation

Piglin Archers are neutral mobs that are equipped with a Crossbow. They are naturally hostile. Like Piglin Brutes, they spawn in Bastions. On hard mode the has a chance to have multi-shot. The Piglin Archer has to phases. In the first, he has his crossbow and shoots at you. In the second, you can trade them gold for bows and arrows, In this state they break their Crossbow and are passive. Aditonly, there is a new effect called "intimidation". It happens when you kill 10 Piglins, 5 Piglin Brutes, and 2 Piglin Archers. The effect last 30 minutes. Piglins may drop gold and will run from you. Piglin Brutes and Archers can spawn in the nether outside of Bastions and will atack a player within 10 blocks. After the effect disappears, the killed Piglin total will be reset. I think these idea give Piglins more behavior .

It is a great idea to improve piglin archers, but maybe there should be added new type of piglin with bow and it would be piglin archer, piglin with crossbow would be crossbowman piglin. Intimidation effect is a great idea, but it should work in only one bastion and dissappear after you leave it, you could always fix the bastion and get the effect of bastion leader, this effect would disappear on death and would allow you to trade with piglins like with villagers.
