Strange Mounts
« on: June 28, 2012, 05:10:24 AM »
I was looking through the in-game item lists, and when looking through the mounts, I noticed there were pigs, cows, chickens, and wolves, among other farm animals. Additionally, Slaver chiefs ride elephants. Is there any way for the player to obtain these mounts? if there's some obvious answer i'm missing, sorry to post, but I think it'd be pretty cool to ride a wolf around...

There is not a normal method to acquire these in game.  You can enable cheats in the mod options and then buy them via the cheat menu, but most have a riding requirement of 11.

this is how you get animals.
When you enabled cheats,and you are on map press ctrl and ~. Then type in box cheatmenu,after that go to camp and you will see cheat menu.
Enter it and go to first option,from there you can find any item in game including animals. I love this option because i hate going from town to town to find what i need.
This is awsome option because in some mods i couldnt buy or find some items like boots,or crossbows,so this is the way to find them. :D

Since all animals have 11 riding skill,max is 10 you need to lower that because you can't ride them.
Go to items_kinds1,and find this

Do this to all animals,and you will be able to ride them all. :D Chicken animation and moving looks good while riding,cows are moving like spiders,not like cows.  I just tried male deer,that thing is a beast. just ride into the people and knock them down all. :lol: Wolf can do that too,but deer looks so badass.

If you do it, please post a screenshot of wolf-riding. I've been curious, but I haven't had the drive to muck with the files, enable cheats and all that, for fear of being disappointed.

EDIT: if it looks good, I'm at the very least going to give King Ragnar a wolf... it just makes sense to me that if anyone was riding one, it would be the King of the Nords.
I just took this funny little RPG personality test... I really don't understand how people get crap like "Vampire".

I tried this and it worked!
..unfortunately, the wolf was a very big let down. It's very small, and makes you look like a clown riding in on of those tiny cars. Though it does have massive charge damage, so it's rather amusing to run through enemy infantry and knocking them all out of the way on a tiny wolf. (I didn't get screenshots, sorry!)

Ride the chicken next! That should be truly comical.
