Guys, are there mountable animals in the vanilla for adventurer? If not, can you recommend any mod?   

[Erde]

No mounts for adventurers as I am aware. Don't know about any mods.

[bigbenzx9000]

Well, thanks then. Still, it would be pretty damn awesome if i can ride a wold into battle......

[Nikow]

You can't. Period.

What about a modded "Mounted Knight" creature thats really one creature? Maybe simulated by increasing the size and speed of the legs and bodyglossing them "Horse"?

[Robsoie]

I remember mention of mount/unmount scripts in the past, so i guess asking in the DFhack thread could help.

[smjjames]

Yeah, there is a way to do it via DFhack, but I don't know how to do it myself.

Someday, Toady will implement a way for adventurers to acquire, ride, and control animals.  In the mean time, you can always try riding a mine cart into battle, instead.

Spoiler: "Mount Script" (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

function Mount (rider,horse)
--for k,horse in pairs(unit_list) do
--if unit_rider.pos.x==horse.pos.x and unit_rider.pos.y==horse.pos.y
--and unit_rider.pos.z==horse.pos.z then --check if they are on the same tile
horse.general_refs:insert("#",{new=df.general_ref_unit_riderst,unit_id=rider.id})
rider.relations.rider_mount_id=horse.id
rider.flags1.rider=true
horse.flags1.ridden=true
require("utils").insert_sorted(df.global.world.units.other.ANY_RIDER,rider,"id")
return
end

unit_1 = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
if unit_1 == nil then
print ("You must place the cursor over the first target.")
return
end

print("Target the Mount and press enter")
test = dfhack.lineedit("")

unit_2 = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
if unit_2 == nil then
print ("You must place the cursor over the second target.")
return
end


dfhack.with_suspend(Mount, unit_1, unit_2)

if anyone wants to piggyback ride other people, or stack companions to make Mecha Shiva.
though being stuck on a horse robs you all controls outside a small window to act so you are warned.

You can also use a minecart as a makeshift mount if you manage to find or generate one - it's also a deadly weapon!
