Well, this brings bad images to one's mind.
« on: August 13, 2011, 04:07:15 am »

Beak Wolves mounted upon Moosemen and Moosewomen.    ???



Yea.. I.. I'm not sure what to make of this.. I mean, naked elves riding giant badgers is one thing.  A moosewoman riding a giant badger leading a pack of beak wolves is also strange.  But a pack of beak wolves riding moosemen and moosewomen!? THE HELL?!

Looking at the units screen, apparently four of the moose-people are skilled - we got a clerk, trader, doctor, and suturer.  Field medics?!

Also, one's last name happens to be Cloistercrotch.    :o

Oh Fortress Defense, you so silly!

Are you sure it isn't the moose man riding the beak wolf?

EDIT: Oh wait, yeah. The beak wolf would have a name if it was the mount.

If I recall correctly, I thought Toady has said that beak wolves are "basically velociraptors"....   just to make this even more WTFish.

...Clever girls!

So... some kind of wolf-velociraptor thing riding animal men? Won't be long before grizzly bears riding elves turn up... :o

An explanation:

Moose have [PET_EXOTIC][MOUNT_EXOTIC]

MoosePeople have [COPY_TAGS_FROM:MOOSE][APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON]

[CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON] has [CV_REMOVE_TAG:PET_EXOTIC] only.

Therefore, Moose People are exotic mounts. This appears to be a unique feature, like tameable tigermen.

Toady's creature was a Beak Dog. It appears that the fortress defense mod adds a "Beak Wolf" civ that can use mounts.

The only reason the moose people have names and jobs is that [CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON] has [CV_NEW_TAG:CAN_LEARN]
They can also speak, use items, and open doors.

I think I've seen that one painted on the side of a van before. :P

Oh I know the mechanics behind it, I've done plenty of modding in that area.  This whole scene brings bad images none-the-less.. XD 

Just like the Ferric Elves being completely naked (men and women) riding giant badgers.  I know why they're naked, but my dwarves dont! lol.
