Title: Cage
Post by: Rasec on September 19, 2017, 10:30:44 PM
A few variation of cages, small (for small animals), medium (for medium animals and humans) and large (for large animals), that could be pull/push, being a way to move prisoners or untamed animals.

---Consequence Features---
- This would allow sellers to sell untamed animals (probable together with the cage), paying less for a certain specie that you want, but needing to tame you self.
- This would also allow to capture wild animals to sell, without needing to tame them, would be easier to catch rare animals to make some money.
- The time for taming a passing animal could be increase by just capturing them on the cage.
- The transport of prisoners between cells would be a little more realistic, they would not need to follow you on open field where they could easily run.
- Selling/Buying slaves from passing merchants would be more realistic.

Realism yes, but it sounds like it could easily be abused by capturing and selling a ton of wild animals for cash.

maybe this problem could be fixed by giving some mood debuff, similar to selling human slaves.


and now that I was thinking, cages could also allow the creations of zoos...

Like the idea.

How do we capture wild animal with cage anyway? Use as trap and place the bait, maybe?
