pack animals
« on: January 06, 2009, 04:16:36 am »

so i just noticed that the horses, donkeys, mules etc. are virtually useless save for the meat and stuff, so i was wondering if it would be a good idea to give them the capability of being trained cargo carriers. maybe have the animals be assigned to carrier dwarfs so that they can carry 12 units of goods in 1 run instead of the 1 unit and 1 run.

another possibility that i would like to see is possibly the pack animals just moving goods without any dwarf supervision, and actual wagons that can move goods around within your cave.

I don't like wagons, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if donkeys and horses worked as haulers in the temporary sense (until hauling is worked on)

This has been suggested already, and yeah it makes sense, so I agree of course.  :)

Donkeys can't gain speed stats or strength, they'd be quite slow

Maybe dwarves shouldn't become olympic sprinters either
