Can I Tame a non-siege troll ? a wild one? 'coz is that is true I can see my dwarfs with some awsome rides.

Don't forget you can shear trolls to get troll hair yarn, from which you can make troll hair cloth.

But can i Tame it... him... her... I mean if he/she/it enters my forts 'coz hes happy outside without doing anyting...

Looking at the raw entry for Troll on the DF wiki, it appears to lack both [PET] and [TRAINABLE] tags, so it looks like by default you can't.  That, however, can be easily fixed through some mild editing.  Just add the [TRAINABLE] tag somewhere in the [CREATURE:TROLL] entry.  I'd put it right after the [CHILD:10] tag, myself.

Just make sure to add it to the raws in your data/save/regionN/raw directory (instead of DF_dir/raw) or you will have to regenerate the world to get the change to take effect.

The [TRAINABLE] token just makes the creature war and hunting trainable once tamed, [PET] is the one that makes them tameable.

I thought TRAINABLE implied PET (or in this case, PET_EXOTIC)?

If troll is sentient, is marriage required for reproduction? It's difficult to get them married, as they never speak.

Yes, actually. I've tried some slightly modded goblin embarks and trolls do not have children. They do, however, wear clothes if you bring them on embark or buy them from a caravan.

even if you do mod it mounts aren't implemented for fortress mode yet sadly :/
