Cue maniacal laughter!
« on: May 13, 2011, 11:09:19 pm »

I just came into posession of a tame honey badger.

What should I do with it?

Can they be turned into War Honey Badgers? if so, do so. If not, mod the game so you can do so, and do it.

Attempt to secure a breeding pair so that you can watch your family of Honey Badgers tearing goblins limb from limb.

I siezed it from the elves to get it, so I doubt I'll be getting another.

Should I make a pit, and put the badger at the bottom to nom on half-spiked goblins, or just tie it up somewhere.

I will mess around with the Lazy Newb GUI, to see if I can train exotic creatures.

Really?  Not much.  I'd probably use Runesmith to make it wild again by removing the TAME flag.  A tame honey badger doesn't rage, thus most of its power is nerfed.  A giant badger, on the other hand, is always lethal.

I'll just eat it then, to extract my rage upon it.

Tame honey badgers are crap fighters, really. Get giant felines, giant desert scorpions or something better.

Enragement do not give combat bonuses, just change behaviour. So taming animals just because of their [PRONE_TO_RAGE] makes no sense.
