There are quite a few species of animal that I would love to war-train. What would I change in the raws to do so?

As per http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Creature_token#T

You can add the tokens TRAINABLE_WAR for war training , TRAINABLE_HUNTING for hunting training or just TRAINABLE for both.

I also think that the creature also needs to have the PET or PET_EXOTIC token for any of the above to be of use but am not positive. Reading the PET and PET_EXOTIC entires on the creature token page makes me think it is highly likely.

I don't think [PET] tags are necessary at all.

Either way, anything tameable with [TRAINABLE] can be trained for war or hunting. I've modded hyenas, giant badgers, and various other beasties for war training. It's one of the simplest modding tasks and I wouldn't call it cheating since it's not against the spirit of the game at all.

A creature without [PET] or [PET_EXOTIC] cannot be tamed, and taming is a prerequisite for training.

You could get the pets already tamed through trade, too.

I am relatively certain they will all have the [PET] or [PET_EXOTIC] tag.

I just looked through raw/objects/creature_large_temperate.txt and creature_large_mountain.txt and everything with a [TRAINABLE] tag has either [PET] or [PET_EXOTIC] as well.  Those that don't have the training flag still usually have on of the pet tags, though I wasn't that thorough in checking that side of it.

[deepfreeze78]

[PET] or [PET_EXOTIC] are required to be able to train for hunting or war, as taming is required for training, and the pet tags are required for taming. Elves can also only tame things with [PET] or [PET_EXOTIC]

Note that Pet Exotic is broken in this version because you need the dungeon master or something like that which is supposed to be a noble capable of training exotic animals, but iirc is bugged and never appears. Always use Pet.

No Pet Exotic works perfectly fine. All pets are tamed through the animal trainer. I think that it was previously tamed by the dungeon master.

EDIT: Apparently, I wasn't thinking yesterday, and could not get my words through to my fingers.

Technically, the Dungeon Master is bugged, but Toady set it so PET and PET_EXOTIC work the same right now so exotic pets can still be trained even without the DM.  I don't remember if he said he was going to 'fix' the DM later, though.
