Here is an incomplete list of animals notable for humans; some are already included in the game (“yes”), see https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/gaia , most are not (yet). I don't know if anybody is currently working on this, or intends to, however, it would be great if eventually more of these animals could be included in the long run (see also https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/23840-gaia-animals/ ). So if anyone is interested in creating animal visual actors, sounds, and icons, feel free to go ahead :)

Currently the game includes just two types of fish: tilapia (freshwater) and tuna (saltwater). There are many other important fish types (although they are not domesticated animals, it doesn't harm to include them here): anchovy, carp, catfish, cod, dab, flounder, haddock, halibut, herring, mackerel, mullet, plaice, salmon, sardine, sole, sprat, sturgeon, trout, turbot, etc. (undoubtedly I forgot to mention some), as well as larger fish such as marlins, swordfish, sharks, and rays. Although it would be nice to have more fish types, it's actually really unimportant.

 

PS Hopefully this is the correct location to post.

Before someone starts shouting “Hey! You forgot this animal!”, I'd like to point out that not all animals in captivity are domesticated, and emphasize there is a difference between bred and tamed. Elephants, for instance, are not domesticated, and never will be.

  • “Domestic” animals are born, bred, and trained in captivity, e.g.:
    • domestic horses, mules, donkeys, and dogs
  • “Feral” animals are domesticated animals escaped into the wild or their off-spring, e.g.:
    • mustangs, dingos, and stray dogs
  • “Wild” animals are species which can not be domesticated (if it were possible it would have happened in the past thousands of years), although they could be hunted and captured.
    • Some wild animals are genetically related to and could sometimes interbreed with their domesticated counterparts, e.g.: wolves, wild horses, aurochs
    • Some wild animals could be tamed and made useful, e.g.: cheetahs, Asian elephants
    • Some wild animals always remain wild, even after years of captivity, e.g.: bears, African bush elephants, lions

Don't be fooled by appearances. A zebra might look like a horse but certainly does not behave like one:

“Zebras have the unpleasant habit of biting a person and not letting go. They injure even more American zookeepers each year than do tigers! Zebras are also virtually impossible to lasso with a rope—even for cowboys who win rodeo championships by lassoing horses—because of their unfailing ability to watch the rope noose fly toward them and then to duck their head out of the way.”
— Jared Diamond Guns, Germs and Steel: A short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years (New York/London 1997) 172

For example, all that is already well designed. Wiki, forum... are good sources.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

I do realize domestic animals exist in 0 A.D. and I'm not proposing to do it differently than how it's done now. This thread (see first post) is merely a list of domesticated animals which are already included in the game (goat, sheep, pig, chicken, peacock) and which are not yet but would be nice to have.

I believe we do have zebu horses and donkeys @Nescio unless you mean recruitable in this case only the zebu is.

Actually I'm only looking at the fauna templates currently in game: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/gaia

I'm not an artist, so any other assets are hidden to me :)

@Nescio who says I'm an artist ? :p dondont believe the badge it's fake :)

At least you gave the impression you know how Blender works; anything graphical is too difficult for me; I'm text based :)

30 minutes ago, stanislas69 said:

about the horse what is wrong with it I believe there is fauna horse. Or do you want something else ?

Ah, yes, I see there is. However, it's feral and huntable (<Entity parent="template_unit_fauna_hunt_skittish">), I want a domesticated one that isn't afraid of humans (<Entity parent="template_unit_fauna_herd_domestic">).

[EDIT: that would be easy to fix; I could make a new template and submit a patch later]

Foal would be nice too. And I'm also hoping for the tarpan and Przewalski's horse, as well as other equids.

I guess making a foal is just a matter of scaling down the horse ? @Alexandermb

Maybe, I'm not sure. Foals seem to be much thinner and have relatively long legs, a different tail, and a shorter body:

While at it, could we also get kids, lambs, and piglets?

Nothing. It's just that I don't know what is the point of having them vs the time it takes to make them :)

Oh, that. I have no idea how much time it takes to create them, but I do hope someone with sufficient time and skill is willing to create more animals. Biodiversity is not terribly important, however, it is nice to have; more variety makes the game more realistic and pleasing.

As for the young animals specifically, one use could be that juveniles can be trained quickly at the corral but cost more food than they give; they can then be (automatically?) upgraded for free or promoted to fully grown animals which give a lot of food. Actually I might try it out in 0abc; maybe a experience trickle could work for that.

Indeed I liked the mechanism in AOM where if you captured a cow it would take some time before it would reach it's full potential. They could also turn into their adult counterparts but that needs code.

AoM's animal fattening was great, hopefully something like that could be included in 0 A.D. as well.

I agree, its must to be.

Wonders have resource trickle maybe the corral could have an aura giving experience to domesticated animals, so they level up 3 ranks like infantry; skinny, mid and fat it would be just a scaling of the belly and if its possible give an aura also to the cattle/sheep for example enabling the food trickle to corrals only if they are near.
