Wolf Packs and Dogs

Post by abt79 »

Whatever happened to herds of animals?

Anyways, I think it would make sense for packs of wolves to spawn together and form a tight pack of adults and babies that stay together and be passive to the player but pick fights with solitary animals. This ganking usually results in the wolves winning and eating the animal's corpse. Attacking a wolf or stealing their kills or their cubs results in all of them aggroing you and you getting a pretty horrific beat down, but if you do manage to grab a cub (either by bringing an equally large group or just grabbing one and running like a bitch) you can take it into a dog. Not sure how this would work, beating a cub into submission would seem too easy, maybe feeding it tons of raw meat?

Also wearing wolf hide for some sort of combat bonus

Ah I see.
Either way I'd love to see this implemented, along with Auroch/mouflon herds and deer groups meaning something

And dog could help you with hunting (involves risk of it being killed)

BTW I laughed so much when read ing "grabbing it and running like a bitch" (I imagined myself running for my life fROM tens of wolves)

I'd imagine they'd each be between foxes and lynxes in strength and speed, so outrunning them wouldn't be easy
