Gorillos in Vain

[rompier02]

Are they allied with the Western Hive? Thay leave each other alone. This intended? Further can I enslave that monster King Gorillo via the slavers? This doable? Thanks.

Not sure if it's intended, even beak things acted like western hives don't exist when they came to visit my base for trade. Maybe they found western hives are too boney or distasteful for eating but not my hives, therefore it must have to do with their faction relationship. You can capture king gorrillo with crossbow and put it in sleeping bag inside your shack to keep for training or to bring it to enemy base as cannon fodder then recapture it again. But it will get up from sleeping bag after reloading the game. When you keep it at your base, be sure to have at least 1 character around your base within zone or the animals not under your faction would disappear.

Thanks Pyrrhus. Thought could recruit it via slavers farms. Much like Mega Raptor one time ago. You know buying it's freedom & hoping it does. In village west of Hub & the Gorillos totally disregard the Hivers. Soldier Drone assist you if they see/around you during combat. Just found out these Gorillos are excellent MA sparring partners :) Totally outclassed the Goats. Hot dawg!

run inside one of the hive buildings with a beak thing chasing you then sit back and watch all the fun start. just like the slavers south east of swamp and the rapters. they dont attack each other till you initiate it and then the spiders come to play lol

LOL! I got a chuckle out of this, as I thought goats would be easy meat for me....LOL at getting a beatdown from a bunch of goats!!!

Should try the Goats to grind early game crews combat stats. No Pushovers them goats.

goats are too awesome for early game
one goats squad just knocked my 6-men squad once.
goat-squad can even overwhelm dust bandits

[rompier02]

Those goats are bad horns. Should have fought them before they were nerfed. I recall a story regading Paladins & Goats. Don't know the truth though.

When the northeast portion of the map was first released I was exploring and came across the Tower of Goats. I thought that sounds like fun lets send my thief in to check the place out, oh there are some nice friendly goats, how cute... I was wrong, so very very wrong.

Reached the third floor and then all the sudden every goat in the tower turned on me, all 30 or so. My thief was able to run outdoors (goats have always been slow at least) and thought I'd take em on in the open. Those damn goats nearly wiped out my 9 person vet scout squad with 70+ in thier respective combat stats. After the bloodbath I just sat in my chair agasp for a while (and laughing a bit), the only reason none of my people died was a cannibal hunter squad wandered by and healed my people up after the goats wandered back to thier tower.

I came back with my maxxed out squad (12 people with 95+ combat stats) and wiped those damn goats out.

Goats got nerfed a bit not long after that update thank goodness. I never felt goats were a threat until that encounter. Never underestimate the power of mass goats in Kenshi.

Oh and about gorillos and gutters in vain... hivers will ignore them at first. In my games the first thing I do when I reach a hive villiage is run into each and every building. The hive soldiers seem to just sit in the buildings until the insides have been loaded.

Once you run into a building all the soldiers will get thier butts out of bed and start wandering around the villiage, then they will turn on any gorillos or gutters in the area, especially any that have aggroed your squad in the immediate area.

True Zee. When the Goats were at their prime , never imagined I would pass a pack by without attacking. In Kenshi land that is :) The only complaint I have with the Tower of Goats is that they should have make the Guardians like its former self. Teach you to come into my Tower hahaha heh.

The workers calls your team hivers. Always love that.
