| Summary | 0000224: "Train a war dog" actually trains other creatures too | ||||
| Description | "Train a war dog" will train other tamed creatures such as elephants if they're around. I had it happen with elephants (not that I'm complaining about having war elephants, really!) Either the bug is that war elephants should not be trainable (I don't remember them being trainable in 40d, but perhaps this is a deliberate change); or that the kennels give you no way to select what to train, and always claim you are training a "war dog" when it might actually pick something different. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Cage and tame a wild animal - tested with elephants. Then put "Train a war dog" on repeat in the kennels, and eventually it'll start training war elephants etc. | ||||

This looks to be by design - in 0.28.181.40d and earlier, dogs were the only creatures with [TRAINABLE], but 0.31 now also allows training giant eagles, grizzly bears, elephants, [giant] lions, [giant] leopards, [giant] jaguars, [giant] tigers, [giant] cheetahs, mandrills, gorillas, polar bears (polar bear cavalry!), and dragons (!) into war animals, as well as training giant bats and giant cave swallows into hunting animals. The fact that you can't choose which type of animal (or which specific animal) to train is probably just a missing feature rather than an outright bug, as previous versions behaved the same way when you modded additional creatures to be trainable. |

Sweet! The elves just brought me 4 Polar bears. Polar bear calvary inc. |
|
|
If this is "by design" it's still a text bug. |
|
|
If I recall correctly, the previous version's text had been made generic into 'Train war animal' and such. Training other animals is definitely intended behavior, the bug isn't even necessarily the text, but that all trainable animal types are not listed, and are instead all listed as dogs. |
|
|
Ah, yeah, you're right. The job is called "Train a war dog" before you add it, but it actually lists as "Train war animal" after it's added. So, assuming training elephants is expected, this is just a glitch in the job text. |
|
|
Yeehaw War Grizzy! Garçon! I'll have another one of those bugs! |
|
|
Is there a reason why polar bears and grizzly bears are trainable, while black bears aren't? |
|
|
This bug is obsolete because animals are trained individually now. |
|
|
True. Being obsolete, this one goes into the won't fix pile. |
