Well.
Yes. That.

Ideally, you can also breed for strength, and whatnot, so you can actually create a proper war hound breed. But I don't think that'll be in. So, yeah. War dog rush, indeed.

think the population caps off at something like 50 per animal type.

It actually doesn't have to be all cats but they just seem to breed the fastest. I've got dogs and cows as well if I need em.

I don't think that's actually... in, yet. 'Genetics' in the next version seems to be limited to phenotypes as opposed to actual ability.

Horses are usually my livestock of choice. They breed quickly enough, and often have 3-5 per litter

I don't know the project I have planed just doesn't sound as good with anything other than cats and maybe dogs.

Whaaaaat? Seriously? Each one gives birth to 3-5 foals per birthing??? What breed of horses live in this game?!? Some kind of Octomom variety? XD

A wizard did it. Or, more accurately, a Toad did it

And Loyal, I know that "actual" breeding isn't it (yet).
Guess I should have made it clear it was more of a wish than a musing.

I'm trying to do this with War Macaques, I added the [TRAINABLE] tag to most of the Pets and Exotic Pets so I can also have War Dragons, War Hippos, and Wariphants.

So uh somehow someone besides the person that had been designated mayor since I embarked won the electron. That was a pain in the but. Then about a season later the new mayors brother threw himself into the well and drowned. I have no idea what the hell is going on in this new fortress.
