Mount Mod?
« on: March 26, 2010, 11:13:08 pm »

Is there a way to make animals equipable so that they improve the speed of the dwarf riding them? I know goblins ride beak dogs... but does that actually effect them? or is it just another set of attacks?

Just wondering if there were a way to get this to work >_> because it'd certainly be interesting if it did.

The idea is that you can have them made into "Equipment", you assign somebody to be "mounted" and they grab one of the "mounts" (you could also choose the type in the same way you choose shields). While this animal is "equipped" it adds it's number of heads, legs, etc.etc. to the dwarf's own list, adds it's own attacks, and moves faster.

Could this be done?

Not if it stands still, a horse, however, DOES move.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Since when has any kind of logic, reasoning, basic physics or common sense ever affected what happens in game? Now the man asked a simple question; Can he make his alcoholic midgets ride various creatures into battle in order to kill goblins and elves and such.

See, that also works the opposite way too. :P

in short; no, dwarves can't ride horses with or without mods.
