Remove the (Tame) from tamed creatures
« on: February 18, 2011, 11:30:40 am »

Wild creatures are neither stray nor tame. Domesticated creatures are. But those two terms are redundant, at least with how DF sees it. Adopted animals still keep their (Tame) tag, but non-tame animals can't be adopted. So having it on adopted animals is moot.

It only appears on trainable animals if I'm not mistaken, which is a useful reminder.

I find the presence of tame war dogs... strange.
Maybe it should be replaced with "domestic" instead.
Also, you can't milk, train, etc. wild animals, and they are less likely to go aggressive i believe.

It means that it's tame, but not owned by a dwarf.  So it's useful.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
