Work Dog Idea

[Andalib]

Allright, this first idea is kinda based off of godess's pet idea. I think it might be neat if we could get a dog, that would be like a worker. So, perhaps it wouldn't take up room in your caravan as an animal, but as a worker. What you could do with it would be that you could train it up in several different areas so that it could do different things (like the pack animals). Or maybe you could just buy a different type of dog for each job you needed done (sheepdog, guard dog, etc). It wouldn't have to be that complicated, you could just buy a certain type of dog instead of a certain type of worker. Here are some of my ideas:

Guard dog/Attack dog
Works in place of mercenary. Chases away/kills bandits

Herding dog
Hmm, perhaps it protects your pack animals? It could chase away bad random events, like spooking and stuff like that.

Hunting dog
Well...it hunts. Not much to it.

Scavenger dog?
Allright, this one might be a little stupid. But dogs in real life can sniff out bombs and stuff like that, so is it that much of a stretch to say that they can find some neat stuff, like the scout workers do?

Dog
Wel...a dog. Man's best friend. Perhaps it raises morale and loyalty among your other workers by keeping them company? It could decrease energy lost by a small amount, perhaps, and maybe it could even make worker fees cheaper since the workers are enjoying themselves (well, sorta).

Loyalty would also mean a great deal; the dogs would do a much better job working for owners they trusted.


Just a thought, it was bouncing around in my head and I had to get it out before it bounced into something and broke something important.

Most if not all of those jobs can be done faster and better by a human worker. But I could see a dog as being an item that you could give your workers. The down side of this idea is that some Asian countries eat dogs, so it wouldn't fit with all parts of the game.
