Animal Training?
« on: June 02, 2012, 02:39:51 pm »

I recently captured several giant ravens, and ordered them to be trained, and set up training rooms, etc. But for some reason, my trainers refuse to train them past "Semi-Wild". How do I remedy this?
EDIT: Somehow, my trainers were able to get one of the three ravens up to "trained", but the other two still haven't gotten more training then "semi-wild"

Some combination of low skill, low civilization familiarity with the animal, and bad luck for the initial results.  Once you've got something a little trained (even if it is just to Semi-Wild), future training seems to want the creature to be pastured or restrained, not caged... unless you want to just let it revert to Wild and train it from scratch again.
