Just increased time before it reverts to being wild?

As well, is there any point in simply taming a creature before designating it for either war or hunting training? Or should you just start with hunting or war training if you know that's what you plan on using the creature for eventually?

As far as I know the training level is how far it is from getting wild. I also know that you do not want a creature to go wild because its trapavoid once tamed and it might cause loyalty cascades. Suffice to say its good to have it tamed quite a bit if you are going to try.

Also dont try to tame creatures from other civilizations. It doesnt work and you still might get a loyalty cascade for some strange reason.

I also know that animal children which are tame wont go wild, only adults.

I think that is a correct assessment, but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't think you can start off with War or Hunting training. IIRC, you must get a critter to Tame before you can train it for war or hunting. The best way to do that is to force it to have offspring, because those are always more tame than the adult, and the first generation of children can be moved from =Trained= to Tame in short order. If you want to eat a captive critter you must train it to a minimal level, then you can use 'b' to have it butchered like any other animal from the (z) screen.

No, creatures can have any level of training in order to become war/hunting animals.

I generally don't train captured animals for war/hunting. They have the possibility of going wild again, and I don't want them to have better combat skills if they do so.

If I have a breeding pair, I keep them in a room with a door that can be locked if they go wild, and wait for them to have tame offspring. If I only have one and am hoping to get a second for breeding I keep non-grazers in cages. They'll go wild since trainers won't touch up their training while they're in a cage, but then they can get trained again in the cage.

I generally butcher grazers as soon as they're trained the first time, since keeping grazers for combat use is a pain.
