Animals in Bannerlord. Can they fight?

[Elosan]

Hello everyone! First time posting on this forum.

Anyway, I did read that were going to be other animals in Mount and Blade besides horses (YAY). There going to be animals such as pigs, cows, etc. However, what I am concerned about is that are they only going to be static set pieces, or will you be able to control them.

The reason why I ask is that it would be great if there was the ability to command them, or at least the tools are set in place for modders to do the rest. I would just love for there be war dogs in like ancient rome. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b3/71/7c/b3717c9255a7426881bec1b8a5bf9f34.jpg

Or better yet, War Elephants!

Wouldn't count on it, neither war dogs nor any other animal besides horses played much of a role in medieval warfare.

But yeah, modders can probably do something there, I'd think, should they want to.

[Hr_Hansen]

yes they said the dog will bite you

[Flippy]

Maybe its like Arch Age and the deer will kick your ass.

Maybe there are sheep saddles and players can charge into battle on sheep back.

Im not even going to think about the possibility of war elephants because that would be so awsome.

There has even been rumours of Dragons!

[Heron]

Camels would be dope. Elephants too. But I doubt it.

As a New Zealander this would appeal to me.

I'd like to have random encounters with vicious fauna like packs of wolves or brown bears, lions or crocodiles in the deserts or birds of prey that may try to make a meal of your men in the mountains.

Agreed. Although, it would be pretty good if the Sarranids could get camel riders, I'm not sure what the difference it would make. Perhaps if we see a new supply system in Bannerlord, and soldiers and animals consume supplies and have limited speeds due to said supplies, the camels would perhaps make the supply train consume less supplies and move slower (for balance purposes, mainly). War elephants would also be a grand addition, but perhaps that would be asking too much; best to wait for the mods.

I won't be angry with the devs, but would be disappointed if the ability to box with a kangaroo is not implimented within this game.

A horde of pigs would be nice

[Cosmic Cat]

There are mods in warband that have animals who can attack.
