Okay but how does that work out for the game though ? We can't decently have three units trainable per animal in corrals for instance can we ?
So it only makes sense from a wild animal point of view, in which case that's fine.

Only calves ought to be trainable :) They can be slaughtered directly or later be upgraded (or promoted?) to cows or oxen. And there are a few other possibilities I can think of for mods.

I like the ideas of growable things, which would basically be a unit evolving into another after a variable amount of time. Could work for trees too. Might be a nice js component

That black-and-white pattern looks nice, but I'm not sure how common it was in Antiquity. The modern Friesian Holstein breed, now widespread, did not exist back then.

I don't know about Europe, but the black and white variety was common across Egypt and Kush for thousands of years before 0AD'S timeframe:

Among the Romans, the black, beige and brown variants seem to be most common

There are many different species of goat, all are used to rough terrain, but not all can scale steep cliffs.

True that not all are mountain goats, but they can all scale steep cliffs. It's just the "vertical cliff" climbing that's specific to some goats. The ibex, one of the wild goats in-game is one of these vertical climbers. I own some West-African Pygmy Goats, and even they can jump, climb and balance on some incredibly small ledges... One of them can summersault! Some non-mountain goats have even refined the art of climbing trees! Check these out:

These pictures made me happy. Spectacle.

Hunting goats should come with a warning message: "hunting goats is a total waste of your time, focus on farming and cattle rearing instead"

I can see a new tactic of building tree-walls just around CC to avoid rams

Nah, I saw more like a special tree in the middle of the forest, that spawns other trees when forest starts being empty. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1973

@Alexandermb That looks so nice! Lovely herd  

Could you provide me with the cow uv-thingy (like you did for the horse), so I can see if I can  improve the Sanga textures? The rest of the textures look fine to me!

Can you make a walk without cart as well ?

Also maybe a death variant with the cart and a rein for the trader.

If you want to make it awesome put the trader on top of the cart and add reins

[Alexandermb]

Walk whitout cart already done "walk_relax", with the rein, lets see if i'll make one easier than horse chariot rein (That one still WIP due his 4 types for each horse and each animation).
by death you mean both zebu and cart right?

@Sundiata another zebu texture if you wanna make it too:

[Stan`]

I'll try the zebu one a little later..

@Alexandermb, made a zebu texture using a different reference, but I used the Sanga cattle mesh to test, so I don't know what its like on the Zebu:

I might try the brown one later

@Alexandermb, here's the brown and black zebu, again, tested with the Sanga mesh so I hope its ok:

[Alexandermb]

Added a prop neck if bell's are planned, not sure if collars should be a mesh or like horses alpha channel in textures.
