I know how to tame stray animals and make stray animals tamable through the raws and all that jazz, but I wanted to go a step further.

Is it possible to add tags or modify the kennels in some way that it would be possible to train or tame animals other than dogs and then make them into hunting or war whatevers via the kennels? Hopefully this would add the "War" or "Hunting" to the beginning of the creature's name as well as give it the bonuses of being a "War" or "Hunting" creature.

I checked the tags for dogs, but there wasn't a note about [CANMAKEINTOWARDOGS] or anything like that. Is this something that is hardcoded into the kennels themselves? Can I access them in any way?

[Fault]

the tag is [trAINABLE].

[Thelogman]

And then that will allow me to turn any animal with that tag into a "Hunting" or "War" version?

Huh. Must have misread the wiki on that one. Sorry about that.

[Protactinium]

Yes. In my current, heavily-modded fortress, I have war horses, war eagles, and war chickens chained and guarding my fortress entrances.

trainable giant cave spiders can do wonders

I've set [trAINABLE] to other creatures, can can get them at the embark screen as war or hunting but I can't train them with  kennels

Do these creatures have [PET_EXOTIC]? If so, you probably need a Dungeon Master to train them into war beasts. I'm not 100% sure on this, but you can easily test it by substituting [PET] for [PET_EXOTIC].

[Deon]

I think you need a dungeon master to TAME them, and then you should be able to train them with any animal trainer.

The problem here is probably that the kennels only display "Train War Dogs" even when you have other trainable creatures.
The solution to that is to just choose "Train War Dogs", this will cause any currently trainable animal to be trained.
It confused me at first, at least.

"Train war animals", not "dogs", open your eyes and check again.

I prefer my eyes to stay closed, but I'll keep my ears open next time I have the kennels open.

That seemed rude.

And if you're going to be rude, you better not be wrong.

And you're wrong in this case.

If I knew how to insert a screenshot, I would, but for now, I can just say after checking that on the Kennels menu, the command says

w: Train a War Dog



The -job- from it then says Train War Animal.

[Grax]

Oh, FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Really, i'm wrong. ;-)

*Stricken by melancholy...*

[Protactinium]

Your lack of assertiveness pacifies my temper and now I feel bad for being mean.

 

I thorry.

[Smew]

Phew! I was almost worried that my wrong streak had reached 4-0.
