[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] Still deciding what they actually ride. Right now I'm torn between giant rats, drake-lizards, wolves or something else. On the discord I joked about riding Deathclaws which as cool as that would be, is probably unlikely. However I could see them using an especially large animal as a sort of battle platform with a howda full of archers or a ballista (or gunners in the far future). Highwarren is no stranger to battle and given its a monarchy partially based on martial strength, the King defeating the monsters from the muck would only strengthen his claim and legitimacy. No doubt you'd have quest takers and adventurers trying to go in and probably getting themselves killed. Some young hot headed squire or knight errant might try to run in and show his skill and likely get killed in the process but returning with the body of a beast or tech would certainly propel you up the ranks of nobility. [/quote] Well, probably whatever the furfolk were using, right? Since they originally joined together. Any livestock they cultivate would have to be something inherited from the furfolk, or taken from whatever pre-apocalypse domesticated animals survived. This makes me wonder exactly how many years it's been since the apocalypse. I imagine it's between one and two centuries, or at least that's what I went with in the backstory of the NJ. That's not a lot of time to domesticate animals from scratch, but having livestock be half-wild would be cool for the ratkin. I personally like the idea of lizards. Ever played Dwarf Fortess? Something like beak dogs might be good too. [hider=Beak dogs][img]http://www.androidarts.com/df/DF-elk.jpg[/img][/hider] *It would be cool to have one of each too. A smaller animal as well as a big elephant thing *For comparison, NJ has: horses, donkeys (and thus mules), sheep, goats, chickens, and pigs. Nothing crazy there All from what managed not to die in the apocalypse (they don't have a lot of animals, and so they're a highly valued asset), NJ had to relearn (in large part) how to manage livestock, but they've basically got it down now. They have had the better part of a century to do so.
