Uses Animal Trapping and Wrestler skill.  Hunter goes out with a cage, grabs a Giant Leopard by the head, and shoves it into a cage.

You mean throws him in an opened cage 7 tiles away, and the collision of the GL closes the cage's door ?

Hell yes !

[Girlinhat]

Yes!  I want them to wrestle a beast, stun it, and drag it to a cage like a captured prisoner!

Maybe to generalize it, the sort of non-lethal "capture" option - you might even have something more like a billy club as a weapon for non-wrestling subdual attacks.  This sort of thing would be fun in the special attacks and combat stuff coming up later.

Poaching could become viable, perhaps slavery as well.  No cage traps, just go out and snag yourself a victim.

This is an awesome suggestion. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of awesome and win.

Hunting dogs could also help, by making holds without shaking, thus enabling them to pin a creature without damaging it much.

Besides the fact that cages are currently "broken" this idea... wait nevermind I just realized I'm talking about the future.  In the future a dwarf won't be able to carry 40 elephants in a cage all over town, or even 1.  That was my problem with the post.  Then I realized, they'd just put wheels on them and cages could work like however wheelbarrows could work.  So nevermind I guess.

Today, while waiting for a whole bunch of people with umbrellas to start dancing in a park (long story...) I was highly amused by a "young pup" of a dog trying to play with an older dog who really didn't want any of it.  Jumping up and faux-attacking the older dog's neck.  Several times, the older dog got bored and basically wrestled the young pup to the ground.

Not that the young pup took the hint, and its owner had several goes to discourage the younger one from its actions, from admonishing to dragging it away to trying to distract it.


Not much relevance, there, except the above comment just reminded me so much of the episode.  More so, actually, than my own experience with hunting dogs.  (IRL.)  With them, there's actually not much more to tell.

Boy, if I had a nickel...

Anyways, yes, I'm thinking of police dogs, who are trained to subdue but not rip out necks.

I like the capture idea
