Talk:Tame

From DwarfFortressWiki

Do we know for sure that if an animal that kills a dwarf is tamed, it can still kill your dwarves?--Richards 14:42, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

It's been confirmed in talk for cages and captured creatures. Any creature that has killed any civilized creature will start killing dwarves on release.--Dadamh 14:12, 29 May 2008 (EDT)

Why exactly is that, doesn't tame mean "doesn't attack dwarves"? --AlexFili 06:32, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

It's tasted BLOOD! --Savok 08:21, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

I have tamed a hydra that had killed several human siegers before deciding to wander into one of my cage traps. Upon release it behaved itself. So I don't think it's accurate to say that killing 'any civilized creature' will make a creature untameable. Seems it only applies to dwarves if it still applies at all.

Would it be said that laying siege to a settlement is a civilised act? Perhaps "friendly" (merchants, etc.) would've been a more appropriate word than "civilized"? --Raumkraut 07:53, 28 July 2008 (EDT)

I had cage-trapped a Dragon that arrived at my Fortress; it was caged before it had even seen any thing, so no killing. So I tamed and released it, upon which it made a beeline for my King and tried to set him on fire. It only managed to burn Dwarf Gap before the fortress guard took it out. So why couldn't I properly tame the dragon? HeWhoIsPale 09:23, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
