Never had problems taming, even in this world. I've tamed every single animal successfully except for mouflon. Everything works fine, but on the final "taming" session the mouflon hits 100% there's the purple-ish cloud animation but instead of becoming sheep they drop dead. This didn't just happen once, I've lost three 100% tamed sheep this way since I tame 3 at a time to increase my chances at getting a breeding couple right away.
I know what I'm doing, I tame animals on a 70 UA alt with very low STR and like I said, I have tamed other animals in this world and it worked just fine.
