Paul and I decided that we really wanted players to be able to get a dog somehow during the course of the game.

Which reminds me, we need a way to name units.

Yeah, the naming of units would be nice.  I had fun with that in Civ4.
The naming of locations (displayed on the cloth map) would be nice as well.

 
also want this ability, and I will be attempting to make the cyats ( also known as warcats or kzinti as a felinophile).

I will just add that one of my games on this build i got a nice shock. (No Idea what tech or ability choice caused them to show up)

I was out for a long time looking around the map and then ported back to my town and Then i checked out the store it had a brown or black Horse and a white/silver or black Warg (think it was a Warg) It looked like a big wolf I bought one and rode around the map for some time on it before i got myself killed. When i appeared at town the warg was still with me.

It is a kingdom warfare tech associated with mounted army

Yup!

Mounted Warfare adds them to the Build list, and the Store. Thanks the maker too. I needed something to do with the 456 Horses my Stable had accumulated... :)

John_Hughes retracts -3 Essences from Raven X for such a blatantly obtuse statement.

NoooOooOOoOOoooo....

LoL

There's a user here on the forums named "lucky" who's always going on about his "Bear Cavalry". Go take essence from him. I need all mine to....you know....live.

(and to Conquer the World with later....ssshhh)

Ok the Committee is still meeting but "Bear Calvary" sounds overly dangerous. Just look what happened to Siegfried and Roy and their "tame" Lions.  X|

The general who fielding a unit of "Bear Calvary" is not worried about the well being of Seigfriend and Roy or anybody else dumb enough to play with their obviously dangerous animals.  The idea is "kill the other guys at the sacrifice of possibly the trainer(s) and a rider if the rider isn't tough enough to keep his bear in check"

Nobody rides into battle on "tame" animals (well they do, but those 'wild spirit' type horses like the one Aragorn rides are much more in style.

Actually the ability to personalise things could be a big win.

 

What about naming your horse, or sword or even the mountains surrounding your city. It could just give a little bit of Atmosphere that makes the game.

Also make sure that your pet dog and favourite horse are not teleported with you when you lose a battle..  B)

That makes the loss even more painful..

 

Mmmm, You could call your riding bear teddy...

"Bear Calvary" is a joke from back when someone (Froggy..?) misspelled "Cavalry" in the first place.

Bear Calvary just stuck after that.

:D

And I thought the Bears name was Cal, but that may Vary... :X

Are those armadillos or rats down in the bottom front? Do y'all even have 'dillos up in the Other Peninsula?

And being able to put place names on the cloth map would be awesome.

Imbue your dog! Dog Channeler!

 

Would we need a Dog Whisperer unit to to control the Dog Channeler? You know to translate his barks into incantations which then cast the spell?
