  I have a slight problem. I am trying to make it so that only a certain race (orc) that I am modding for personal use, has certain mounts that it only uses, and it doesn't use anything else. I want it to just use this set of 10 ish animals that I modded in, but I can't find a tag. I don't want [EVIL] because that will just interfere with gobs. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Right now it's extremely difficult to limit creatures to certain races. Basically right now there are four groups of creatures, good ones, evil ones, cave ones, and normal ones (and use all). Other then limiting a group to a certain set of animals there isn't much you can do.

you can also use common domestic and pet_exotic + use all pet race to limit this... but yeah, it is very, very difficult.

why not have a caste that's extremely rare that transforms through sweating a syndrome.  and the transformation leaves the desired creature.  but make that be the only way to attain the creature

say 0.001% of dwarves might be the caste for said creature such as a giant cave spider and you have a female special dwarf become a female giant cave spider.  this would allow your civilization automatic access to giant cave spiders.  probably best you make the caste weak and/or stupid so you don't have a high up become one on the off chance of the almighty RNG

although... i haven't modded in awhile though so.. goodluck!

This makes some sense, though creepy when you think about it. My idea is to have things like orcish horses, which are the size of a rhino, and horns, as mounts. It just wouldn't do if what were supposed to be one of the key factors to a races unique power in warfare, goblins or elves used it too. I'll try it. "Hey man, what happened to Jim?" "Oh yeah Bob, he turned into a horse." "That's cool." Its a good idea though.

Pretty sure that transformation would never occur during worldgen and so not give the civ access to the creature.

Other than what's mentioned the only other way is to make a mountable creature appear in a biome only your race of orcs lives in. They draw their animals from the biomes they own sites in. Problem is that sites taken during invasion and similar could end up giving you orcs on horses and humans on your orc mounts.

Well, thanks for all the tips. I'll experiment later and maybe make a suggestion for a special tag, like [MOUNTTYPE:ORC] on the creature itself. In entity files, [USESMOUNT:ORC]
