Elven Caravan Animal Guards
« on: December 01, 2012, 07:23:05 pm »

I was thinking that since Elven caravans don't have guards and are essentially defenseless, and that it seems they won't be getting guards, could they maybe get giant animals accompanying them instead?  Like war giant jackals or hunting giant lions and such -- that would be kind of cool, and would make up for their weakness.  Maybe one giant animal per pack animal?

Neat idea. Presumably, this would be based on the AT_PEACE_WITH_NATURE tag.
I'm not sure if it would be sad or hilarious if they brought chinchilla guards.

I'm not sure how tags work yet, but yeah I would laugh if that were to occur.

In one of my older forts, I trained a horde of war chinchillas. They absolutely massacred anything that stood in their path. Unfortunately, that included my FPS.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

These war chinchillas wouldn't be swarms, they'd be single, plucky, comic-relief sidekicks. Like Scrappy Doo, I guess.
