Tame Tigerman(lady)
« on: April 15, 2010, 12:13:56 am »
So I had an elven caravan come, and in it they had a ton of cool animals, among them a single tigerman. I let her out of her cage and she walked around like a standard tamed animal.

Has this happened to any of you before? I don't want to call "bug" before I know it is one.

Yea, it has become common now. Elves have even been known to bring elves in cages.

There fairly useless, although will sometimes help defend the fortress.

It would be interesting to have them join your fortress, or even use them as warriors... Do they breed if you have multiple ones?

Edit: Well, she just went berserk, but still in the cage. I guess she needed food but never got any, or something.

I don't see why "intelligent" humanoids couldn't be tamed. I remember reading about a study claiming that dolphins have the equivilent of a 65 IQ (borderline retarded), since animal men don't build fortresses, castles or metal weapons I'd expect animal men to be in the same ballpark.

...someone who's been in a lot of Geico commercials is not very happy with you right now.

Somebody made a Slavery Utility, but it tended to cause bugs.
It was called Friendship.exe if I remember correctly.

Was a really cool concept, however…
Politically incorrect, and apparently hard to implement.


I haven't had much fun in the new version because of Material Creatures, and The Undead. I've mostly just had FUN. Although I've had similar experiences in 40d.

Like once while dealing with an underground river. I had the entire(but somewhat mitigated) population of said river trapped in one pool, the population of that pool was: One Lizardman(Female), and three Olmmen(Male). Much unfortunate implication…  Became, very intriguing imagery.

And this other time in Adventurer Mode I Strangled a Tigerman(Female) until it was unconscious and well considering the circumstances(not being able to 'I'nteract with it using a cage or rope), I pressed the 's' button repeatedly for a while.
Which now that I think about it, that's pretty disturbing.
