Does anybody know of a simple mod that adds sensible training tags to creatures?

I could probably be bothered to whip one up when I transition to the new version, but is there one already?

I just added trainable to the giant variation tag.  That way all giant animals are war and hunting trainable.

But seriously, mod them to be [TRAINABLE] and have a longer lifespan (or just a high birth rate) and your enemies are in for some serious b-movie horror.

How large should the clutches be? 50-70 sound good? And should they live for maybe... Twenty or so years?

But then they wouldnt be giant praying mantises.  They'd be zerglings.

Dear gods, forget I said that.  All of it.

If you want to keep it balanced, I'd say large clutches for shorter lifespans or small clutches for larger lifespans. The idea is just to make a population of war animals feasible; you're actually capable of maintaining high enough  numbers with some effort. If they're going to die in droves (from age at least) make high numbers of hatchlings. If not, smaller numbers to prevent them from overrunning the fort's FPS/making all sieges boring forever.

Very.

Hopefully Toady reads this.
We need more war trainable animals!

Yes, but look at Cave Crocodiles. They have similar clutches and lifespans.
