...Oh, he meant animals that carry stuff :oops:

Edit: That would make for a good bartering item. "Hey, I'll give you three cocks for your goat." *pepperspray*

As far as animal domestication goes, people should have to raise their domesticated animals from other domesticated animals. Maybe with a few super rare wild spawns. They'd be a good deal more rare and valuable that way.


I like the idea of domesticated animals spawning less frequently, however, and you've probably already thought of this, it's pretty griefer vulnerable if they can just kill all your animals and cause it to be very difficult for you to get more... Should you have to build large structures to protect your cattle?

Maybe if there was a wild version of the animal and you were able to capture their young and domesticate them while young. Not entirely realistic, but might work better as a game mechanic?

Yeah, I did. And I figured that they would be just another valuable object for people to stick behind their walls. :P

I can imagine barns would probably come in handy, too.

Talvara you are a respectable chappy.

However you took my travel-tankard. I think that's it, you took a bar of cast iron as well, but I had no sentimental attachment to that. I was just getting to know it in fact, and it might have been a jerk. Anyhow, the line continues.

Know whats strange, I hadn't even read this thread before I left that runestone. I'm glad you apreciated it, Please dont leave clues on my property again tough... I'm chaning my policy that I'll hunt down any theft clue, mainly because i've been finding them way to much lately. I'm placing some runestones with my warning soon. im sorry you had to go before the runestones are up.
