Adding Pet Races?
« on: January 13, 2011, 07:12:10 pm »
Hi all. Recently created a few pet creatures but am having trouble being able to use them with my civilization. What is the process to get a race usable and embark-able as pets?

[common_domestic] allows them to be bought at embark, and [pet] does something important too.  I believe [trainable] allows them to become hunting or war animals.  [pack_animal] makes them carry items for merchants, or pull wagons.

they might use other humans to carry supplies.

Like in Monty python and the holy grail.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

They won't work very well.

Well, people would then lose the ability to be assigned skills (labour screen replaced with the pet one). They are also pretty weak, and would make poor pack animals!

Actually, the labour screen stays. They'll work just like the player race, except they won't (most labours will break them).
