Cavecroc-a-splosion
« on: May 25, 2011, 04:13:50 pm »

Well, cave crocs lay 2 batches of eggs before they manage to hatch, apart from whent hey hatch, they all hatch it seems. becuase i now have 50+ baby cave crocadiles roaming about.
thing is, i dont belive these butcher into just skulls, i may be mistaken, but they may produce bones at least. :P can anyone quantify this? just, ide like to try create a crocafall bone + meat harvester so i never have to worry about bolts ever again.

as of now: im currently trying to kill the current 50 before the next 59 hatch....

Cave crocs are pretty big, so even half of one would give you some meat I'd think.

Cave Crocs are awesome for the meat industry. And the bone industry. And the military.

Always bring one on embark if you can!

i infact can now comfirm that cave croc hatclings do infact produce bones. 22 to be precise, from being butcherd.

so the moral is: sod turkeys, get yourself some cave crocs, and you now have infinate bolts. Time to set up a cave croc fall trap to make me a fast way to kill and harvest.

their also being thrown infront of my soldiers as a front line defence against an dark strangler seige..  -defence mod- should be interesting.

I suggest you make a war croc-bomb:

Train a bunch of war crocs, stuff them into a cage.

Now put that cage somewhere where goblins and elves would path

Connect it to a pressure plate.

Wait.

You can't train cave crocodiles for war/hunting. They'll still attack goblins if tamed, though, I take it?

Mod in the ability to train them as war animals.

Can that be done after worldgen and still take effect?

I believe so. Similarly, replacing [PET_EXOTIC] with [PET] does work.

Cave crocs are very, very fearsome creatures.

Make an animal pen to wherever you want them stationed. Then assign all of your cave crocs to that animal pen. As they are aggressive they will eat anything hostile that comes near that animal pen, meaning if you make an animal pen in your gatehouse, assign cave crocs to that animal pen, you can have them guarding your gatehouse. Or anywhere else you want them to guard.

Want to make a moat full of cave crocodiles? You can!

Just did so here.
Speaking of which, are there any other deadly creatures I should be aware of that aren't trainable for war, but are convenient enough war beasts to mod as trainable? I was thinking GCS, maybe, but they're too rare. I'd prefer a silk farm.
