Goblins: [PET_EXOTIC]
« on: April 22, 2008, 07:11:00 pm »
I want some tame goblins, so I tried adding [PET_EXOTIC] to them. When they sieged, I caught them in traps. I have a kennel, now how do I train them? They don't show up in Tame Large Animal...

I'm pretty sure you can't tame intelligent beings.

Oh, and invaders are always hostile, even if you do tame them. I learned that the hard way with some Beak Dogs modded to be tamable.

With pet exotic you would probably need a dungeon guy first anyway.

I´m not always sure if goblins should be classified as intelligent  :D

Goblins are incredibly intelligent by Dwarf Fortress standards.  Unlike our bearded charges, they don't run headlong at dragons, magma, zombie camels, or giant spiders just because there was a shoe next to them.  Goblins happily run away as soon as two or three of their number get killed.

In this world, they're veritable geniuses.
