The corral debate

[Unarmed]

Right now, you can build the corral and then you get acces to sheeps. What I'm wondering:

-Does anybody use it?

I do not use it at all, it requires so much managment (maybe less than I think), that the farm is much better.

Next question:

-Would it be better if the corral would spawn animals automaticly (perhaps after upgrading something which costs some food)

Or a (I think maybe better) alternative:

-Would it be better if you upgrade something in the corral, costing some food, and the sheep spawn automaticly, but for a limited amount of time, in which you have to upgrade for some food again

Currently, the corral doesn't work as expected. It's meant so you can garrison domestic animals in it, which will generate food on a slow rate. But someone needs to implement that

Oooh I see!

It also was intended to protect your domestic animals from being immediately stolen and taken away by the enemy.

Okay.

Man, I feel so silly for not knowing this. Is this kind of stuff mentioned anywhere?

I made fun of people on a mod forum for doing suggestions that the mod specificly said (several times) they will not do; I made a fake quote with some guy that did all sorts of silly suggestions. So I want to make sure I'm not doing the same. It can be very annoying having to mention everything again and again.

There's a suggestions for 0AD thread, which has a lot of these questions and answers. A lot of the same.

And they're all noted ... somewhere. Some in the trac tickets, some in design documents. All public, but a bit hard to find for a newbie.

Thank you for the answer.

I will atleast read the suggestion thread. I do that with most games and mods anyway.

I've skimmed through the trac tickets. Very quickly though.

I would appreciate it if you told me, or someone else, where I can find the design documents.

Thanks a bunch. I was just going to edit my post that I found one, the primary design document. Google is my friend (who knows too many... I should kill him probably...).

I would use the corral if it worked.

[serveurix]

I didn't use the corral at all until I played Savanna Ravine with the Britons. Then I started to use the corral instead of spending my wood in farms each time I was playing the Celts on a map where trees are rare. (Mauryans need a lot of wood too, but they can move their dropsites where they want, so they don't have this problem ).

Now that I've discovered the trick "Just train one light cavalry unit per corral and make your corral(s) produce a full training queue of sheep and then don't care about food for 20 minutes", I use corral almost every time. But this is just because infinite farms are not implemented yet.
