Animal Training and their loyalty
« on: February 09, 2014, 08:36:01 pm »

I took it upon myself to learn a few things about the local creatures for my civillization, and captured a breeding pair of eagles, a spider monkey, and a black mamba.  I trained all of them for many years, but got tired of them, and decided i'd release the animals once they reverted to their wild stages.  First, the spider monkey.  He reverts, and is released.  He continues to try to return to the fort, which I assumed was because he wanted to steal.  He was killed by a guard dog.  Shortly after, the mamba reverts, and is released.  He also attempts to get in, and bypasses the traps.  He was put down by the military.  Civilians will flee the animals, and the animals will do the same, but they continue to try to get back to the meeting area, as if they are still tame.  Bug or do they, somewhere deep inside, still want to live here?
