Question, is there going to be a "Taming" skill involved?

taxidermy is considered on this system?

baja del cerro hecho agua,
y en una raíz se queda,
y sube por una camino que se llama enredadera,
parra, parrón, vid, mil hojas, verde sombra o como quieras.

Greek, you're awesome! :D

I can't wait to tame some animals. Maybe a scarab or a caiman. :mrgreen:

It might be very hard to complete, because animal travel part of the code was removed from the game and it's not going to return. So it's hard to use them for transportation without significant changes. But maybe some way to merge animal with a cart will be possible even before having mounts.

Yes, it will be probably named "animal husbandry" or "breeding". I'll ask more competent people ;). It will be used for taming, milking, shearing, *maybe* collecting. It would be best to have butchery as separate skill, but it's not good to create it for one action.

guilletierno wrote:taxidermy is considered on this system?

It's something not strictly related to that idea. No, it will not be implemented together with animal domestication.

Thanks :) But it's quite possible taming these will be impossible.

i am quite excited for this addition, though i doubt i will put much effort into domesticating until i can make a pen or something to prevent people from stealing my animals. either that or i will just kill anyone who touches them :P

How about hunting with birds? :D :D
