I don't know what Attack and Defense has to do with anything, but something like this would world:

world/New()
   spawn(1200) Repopulate()

proc/Repopulate()
   for()
      world.Repop()
      sleep(1200)

I like this way better:

mob
     monster
          proc/Die()
               var/deadmonsterarea = new /area/deadmonster (src.loc)
               deadmonsterarea.monster_type = src.type
               del(src)
area
     deadmonster
          var/monster_type
proc
     Regenerate_Dead_Monsters()
          for(var/area/deadmonster/A in world)
               new A.monster_type (A.loc)
               del(A)
world/New()
     ..()
     anchor
     spawn(2000)
          Regenerate_Dead_Monsters()
          goto anchor


That's fundamentally how I run a monster repop system. Of course, I store more of the monster's vars in the area and add other little things, but this is the base code. Good luck!

The whole area thing seems a bit unnecessary to me. I just mark them dead, turn them inivisible, move them to a new random location, and use spawn() to mark them alive and make them visible again after a length of time has passed.

To save on cpu time, you can have any looping procedures return from the mob if it is dead.
