Oxen are chickens
« on: March 05, 2010, 05:12:57 PM »
I understand pack oxen running away from wolves and other dangerous predators and monsters, that makes perfect sense. I even understand why they run from wolves and things that are hostile but already dead, the ox gets spooked by the smell; but could they please stop running from mink and deer? :D

agreed, they run from anything hostile, including corspes of hostile creatures... its kind of annoying too how creatures like ravens and bats fly nearby, turn hostile and then dart up into the sky, sending the ox on a stampede.

but your holding the lead, so spamming the radial follow command tends to keep them from running too far.  It makes doing anything else pretty difficult, but thats why its best to have a spare set of hands to guide the ox.

You clearly haven't seen a Chicken chasing a Fire Beetle around the farms.

Those things are VICIOUS.

Since it has been said, what's up with all the flying animals being launched to the moon?

And I never had a ox before, but I plan to, so I support this.

Great, now I have the theme to the old television show "Rawhide" stuck in my head. My dad watched that all the time, even though he'd seen every single episode when they first aired back in the stone age. *sigh*

It's going to be playing in head all night now.
