They occasionally wander onto my map. Of course I want to catch them and create a giant eagle army. Now, how do I bait them?

[Oliolli]

I don't think you can bait them. You just have to build cage traps and hope they wander into them.

... Time to build some more cages.

EDIT; AH COME ON.

Giant desert scorpions arrive before the traps are loaded. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

If you place an animal on a rope or chain out in the open, then surround that animal with cagetraps this can work as an effective bait method. Pick something that wont fight back well, like a puppy or rabbit. Some people suggest placing walls at the compass points around the animal, to reduce chances of enemied engaging with ranged attacks (bow Goblins) whilst still leaving access. Good luck with the eagles.

From a top view, W is walls, _ is floor waiting for traps, and A is the bait animal. Just add cage traps, and a ceiling if you want the eagles. Not sure if eagles go for anything, but replace the animal with a 1x1 plump helmet stockpile (no barrels) to attract monkeys.

Also works for weapon traps and levered spike/spear traps. And if you wanted to be real creative, you could add another C wall.

Roofs over cages. Nothing more need be said.

Pay attention to where the animal(s) usualy path too.In my experience, you can usualy catch them more easily if you place traps in areas where they tend to path thru when left un-interupted.
