Hey all, I'm new to modding DF, and I have a few questions:
- Is it possible to mod creatures to be trainable only in hunting OR war?
- Do untrained creatures still attack when enemies appear, or do they run away like civilian dwarfs?
- Is it possible to add new tags to creatures, such as the trainable tags, withought regenerating the world? (not creating new creatures, just adding to existing ones)
- Do creatures trained in hunting fight like the ones trained for war, or are they only useful for hunting?

I'm thinking of adding some more trainable creatures just to give a nicer feel to some fortresses... a 'war worthog' and 'hunting giant cave spider' would be nice  :p

- not at this time. the TRAINABLE tag means you can train them for either.
- they run like cowardly little dwarfies.
- yes
- if I remember correctly the wiki said that hunting creatures will target the same thing that their owner is targeting.

thanks Lord_Frodo!

War creatures have increased damage.
Hunting creatures use ambushing skill.

Also there're mods on this theme. I.e. I have hunting pack mod (with hunting spiders, lizards and hawks), and I saw many other mods, with warthog too. You can check the mods before modding the same =).

[Poltifar]

actually Deon, I already have your mod. But I didn't know there was one about warthogs too. Besides, I mostly wanted to know if I could change a creature to be trainable withought regenerating a world, to be able to train any animal I manage to capture withought having to mod ALL the animals before even generating a world.
