Bear Cavalry lead by Attack Jaguar
« on: April 17, 2011, 08:51:47 pm »

So I bought some grizzly bears and jaguar from some shady merchants. They had pointy ears and after I made my purchase I had them rounded up and summarily executed. But enough of that.

Is there a way to send the animals into combat, aside from assigning them to dwarves?

I don't think so.  War animals aren't sentient, they can't be directly ordered around.  I guess you could put them in a room with a drawbridge...  and open it whenever the gobbos come to play, but that's all I can think of right now.

Eventually however, we will see this happen:

You can assign them to a dwarf and have him act as a handler :) Then you can station them where you desire without leashing them.

I already get besieged by elves riding grizzly bears. It's in the game, just not a privilege of the player.

As do I. Coincidentally, they are delicious.
