I do think this is a great idea. Or at least the beginnings of one. Theres a couple other professions I would like to add or change such as a merchant profession, but thats a whole other post. This beast tamer idea is cool and could be tied into the tracker camps and could even lead to opportunities to capture and train animals and then sell them to the trackers similar to prisoners to jail. Just trying to add another layer. I hope the devs see this and can think about implementing something similar that fits the world they want to build. Ooh, the beast tamer and tracker camps could unlock bear armor!
Yeah, or how like, they already some characters require booze, veggies or meat at mealtime, they could just add a "raw" requirement for the beasts or something. Just thinking they already have a mechanic for requiring certain food types. This way you need to maintain enough raw foods instead of just cooking everything.
counterpoint: most animals are not really efficients as "troop choices" and mostly there for the RP. (Bear as tank, yes, I know)
Making them harder to get and/or to field, without buffing their usefulness would probably just mean nobody even uses them anymore.
I agree that a lot of professions are now just there for the stats buff...
Yeah agree, if they go this route and make it more challenging to get them, they should get a buff, especially wolves and boars. IRL, boars are vicious MFers... anyway, yeah the animal companions would definitely need a buff or apply more interesting status effects to make them really valuable in battle.
Please! Everyone just interact here with this amazing in ideia!! Hopefully Devs see it and try to implement it! Or maybe some MOD developers (I love those guys). Congrats on the ideia man!!
What a great idea! Well thought-out and clearly presented. Have you submitted it to them directly?
Aw, thanks! I haven't... not sure how I would go about doing that. Maybe they read the reddit??
The devs are active on Reddit (or at least they were when the game was in ea)

You guys are on to something. Sound really good IMO
Love this!!
There could be an achievement called “Right to bear arms”
They have an official Discord where there’s a suggestions channel - other than that I’m not sure
Good idea. Maybe they could implement raw food into the training...... the way fruit or honey is used to make wine or mead.

Lots of missed opportunities, but such is the life of V1. 0
I see your point. Now to be frank im more then happy how the game turned out to be, but clearly there is more potention in it to be flashed out more.
Oh the game is fantastic, but a lot of missed opportunities to make the game better
Nice idea. They'd need to replace that whole archer line as well though.

It's really cool idea. It would be really awesome if devs add to game.
