Killing a Cow
What does it take to kill a cow - in terms of stats, skills, tools. I'm tired of gaining nothing but int, and/or getting meat from my more advanced neighbours. But my attempts at cow killing are a bad joke - run out of stamina repeatedly, sometimes produce splashes of blood, and never yet kill one. I'm wielding a stone axe and using chop.

Re: Killing a Cow
You'll need to increase Melee skill to around 9 to be able to hit cows reliably.
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.

Re: Killing a Cow
yes, 4,500 points worth of melee skill on top of the investment to get the combat skills. It's not that expensive, just do something less bloodthirsty for a while before you start slaughtering the livestock
It'll probably come down when they eventually start implementing domesticated animals, because currently it considers killing a cow to be "hunting", maybe consider them wilderbeasts / buffalo instead of dairy cows

Re: Killing a Cow
Successfully killed 2 cows with only 6 points in melee, using chop and hand axe. Think I could have done it at 5.

Re: Killing a Cow
Took a while though?
The ones who see things differently.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
