How do you capture animals, specifically alpha wolves?

How do you capture animals, specifically alpha wolves? I think I have 7 ropes. Is rope all that is needed? If it is rope, then how many do you need per wolf/alpha wolf? How many wolves can I capture in one engagement? I have only seen the "capture" option come up in one battle after fighting dozens of battles over the last 10 days or so. I just started a level 4 Beast-master and this is my first encounter with a wolf pack which I surprised. My Beast-master is my 20th and last planned mercenary, all the rest are level 7 with a few 6's and 5's). Suggestions?

I just searched and found a thread by Robin of Spiritwood called "Wolves" that answers a lot of questions regarding wolves specifically. Apparently it takes 1 rope to capture 1 Wolf and 3 ropes to capture an Alpha wolf. (If I knew how to post a link to her thread here, I would, but I don't, sorry.) I am still not sure of the action needed to capture animals. I assume you need to be next to the wolf and have rope in your inventory. Can any mercenary capture, or just the Beast-master? Does the wolf need to be injured?

Units need to be under 50% health for a chance to capture them (the lower the better) and need to be engaged with a unit.

The capturing unit cannot be the one engaged with it.

Every character gains the ability to capture when you are adjacent.

They need to be low health, engaged with an ally, and you need 3 ropes. if the capture option hasnt appeared, you need to hurt them more. You can capture as many as you can in a single battle.

R-click, copy Page URL, and just paste it. That post is quite old, but I updated it a couple times. Will have to run it over and fix any obsolete info later.

Thanks charles, Teralitha and Robin. I am loving this game. I can't believe the depth already and I don't think I have come close to exploring all of the options.
