Certain player pets should provoke alarmed reactions
« on: October 09, 2021, 10:03:57 pm »

[LARGE_PREDATOR] ones in particular. It would be a nice little touch if walking into a lord's keep with your pet tiger provoked a similar reaction to what walking in with a drawn weapon currently does.

"Is that a giant tiger? That's alarming!"

An exception, of course, would be elves and "at peace with nature" civs in general.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

How would you do to make them not freak out about the tiger then? Throw a blanket over it so they can't see it anymore? :)

Pets can be asked to wait in a specific place just like any follower, so just tell your tiger to stay put where it can't spook anyone.

That and the "alarmed" condition doesn't actually affect gameplay to any great degree (at least not currently). You can still have a peaceful conversation with someone who's freaked out by your drawn longsword after all.

Gods, that last part came out wrong.
