If you only want war kittens, add [TRAINABLE] to cats in the raw file Common Domestic.

[ETHIC:MAKE_TROPHY_SAPIENT:ACCEPTABLE] will sadly lead to your dwarves making things like "Dwarf bone amulet" and such, too. Or at least they did this for me in 40d. It would be interesting to see what their ghosts think about this...

I'm unclear... can you actually assign labors/jobs to these animals? And/or equipment with gear?

If you give a critter [CAN_LEARN], will they get artifact moods?

I think only the creatures of your civilisation can get moods.
I tested this extensively with Elf- and Human-pets.

No moods, and you can't assign them labors.

It seems like i remember there being a value in the raws that allows a given to have moods.  without a certain tag then moods will never happen.  even if it is a dwarf.

So...

When goblin snatchers manage to grab a couple of your [CAN_LEARN] kittens, and then after 20 years or so when the original village of goblins has died off, you get sieged by a mass of cats led by a few Cat Axelords?

I believe this can happen when dwarves are captured by goblin snatchers, correct?

Would the game allow the cats to come equipped with skills, armor, and weapons if they are generated as part of a siege?

If you give the cat grasping parts, that is possible.  By default, I believe a cat has no [GRASP]-token'd body parts, so they cannot hold a weapon.  They can probably wear armor, though, unless their size is too small to allow even the smallest pieces.

There was a Cat Fortress mod for 40d, which made cats capable of doing all sorts of things.  It was pretty hilarious.

As far as I remember Toady gave their mouth the grasp-tag to stop the annoying cat bug from the 40d versions.

You can, but it requires a hack tool.

Nope.  That was the work-around that players used to stop it.  Toady just fixed the bug at its source, presumably.  Cats use the same mouth as all other animals in 2010, and it does not have [GRASP].

Code: [Select]

[BP:MOUTH:mouth:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][MOUTH][SMALL][EMBEDDED][APERTURE][CATEGORY:MOUTH]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:20]

No grip, although it would be cool to have it! Modding that it now so that I can hold axe in mouth.

It's also worth mentioning that any tame creatures with [CAN_LEARN] (or again it might be [CAN_SPEAK]) living in your fort are sort of psuedo dwarves. They need to drink water when tamed, unlike all other animals. Their offspring are also seen as viable targets for kidnapping by goblin snatchers. One of these animal can even potentially become mayor of your fortress.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers then let loose the horses with their hooves of (actual) steel. xD
