storing cattle

[crazycracka]

I did a topic search for "cattle" and couldn't find anything on this topic so forgive me if it has.

I would like to see some way to store / keep cattle that I have; instead of having to herd them around forever or slaughter & sell them.  Ideally I would like to bring them to a town I owned, or force any of my village elders to hold onto them(keep them alive ) for me.

I'd like to be able to give my village cattle when they don't ask for it.

That is actually a neat idea, it would increase prosperity of the village.

Of course, the village elder could say "Thanks but no thanks." The same could go for giving them wheat, particularly after a raid.

something like having your own cattle herds and fields, that either produce income or you are able to pick up food every now and then?

yep

yeah basically. I namely want to be able to keep extra cattle for when I get the missions from my king and village elders. So instead of either having to raid a town or go around and buy cheap cattle I can just go to my own herd.

Also being able to steal the cattle from guild masters quests and just drive them to my cattle ranch would be pretty great

and your own fields for the wheat quest, Plus a small amount of bread and smoked meat weakly at your castle? or even beer?

less valuable cattles like goat, ship, pig and chicken can be added as alternative of cattle

yummy, egg and bacon with cheese

i cant see myself driving chickens to a town or village though, some things my dignity and laugh muscles cant stand. Knights driving cattle on is a weird concept, but putting some chickens underfoot....

How about riding the cow?

Some alternate use for them would be awesome.

There are so many stray cows lost in my Calradia that they could start they're own faction

Swarm of cattle may take a castle I think

someone shouting during a frantic battle: "takle cover, stampede, STAMPEDE!" just before 200 cows trample all in their wake. You look at it hiding behind a tree.

One day someone will make a mod for this, and all my dreams will come true :p

I was thinking of this when I was reading the fishing and hunting thread. Would not it make much more sense for you to have land in the village that was your and tended to by your peasants? This is something that was done, with peasants working the lord's land on set days and the harvest would go to him. Then, come harvest time, you get food. You could decide what is "grown" on that land, whether wheat or cattle, and then choose if it gets sold or you get the goods. Also, there is the option to turn this food over to your village if they need it.

You could also get problem with bandits stealing from your fields or that of your village.

Best of both worlds, you get your own food tended by your pesants without getting your lordly boots dirty.

 

[FrisianDude]

That partly already is the case. You can use the revenue from a fief to buy food from it.

And lordly boots seem a massive waste of money.

On the topic of animals, I'd like to be able to hunt my own furs. It would be good archery practice, going after wolves, deer or bears

There is no cow level.

Someone had to say it.

Nevertheless, the idea of being able to donate specific stuff to your villagers for specific effects is a good one.

Giving an enemy's village an anthrax, starting a plague to weaken them.
