egg laying creatures
« on: August 08, 2009, 06:29:57 am »

Hello, Its my first suggestion on the DF forums!
I was thinking about implement a token for the creature raws, like [EGG_LAYING] or something like this, and also implment nests too, and exotic creature, as megabeasts create their nests in mountain peaks, or any other inaccessible place, and if you capture the egg, the creature borns tamed,
I have other idea, but i think that someone already suggested, how about you can get mounts in a "mount shop" for human or elvish adventurers

This will have to be done eventually so we can have some skeletal eaglets to feed fieldtrips to.

If its not a domestic creature, I think you should still have to tame it, it should just be easier.

Eggs are already planned to be in the game.

The World Without Knifebear — A much safer world indeed.
regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Will we be able to use dragon eggs as catapault shot?

The dragon egg strikes the goblin lasher in the head!
The dragon egg explodes in gore!
The goblin lasher is covered in nasty goo!
He kinda likes the taste of it!

Oh yeah, that will teach them.

For mount shops to work, mounting itself would would have to work in adventurer mode. This will probably happen once mounting works in fortress mode, so I guess eventualy all your wishes may be granted ;D

Dwarfs are not  so good in mounting
I don't know where I read this, but i think in DF mode, using dwarfs, isn't a Good idea
