War & Hunter Training for All Animals – Efficient Compatible
War & Hunter Training for animals done with efficient methods that maximize compatibility and minimize the changes made. I noticed the other mods that try to do the same, often cut/replace the entire creature data to make changes.
This mod only adds the necessary [TRAINABLE] tokens to the creatures of the game, without doing anything extra. Nothing else. In the simplest, most minimalist way possible.
Why is this an improvement/worth making a new mod for?
Because doing it this way makes loading faster, removes compatibility issues, and makes surgical, simple changes to mean this mod should never break, even when new versions of Dwarf Fortress are released.
Also only creatures that can be realistically trained are modified. Vermin creatures, vermin fish, Animal People and other learning humanoids are not modified. These creatures have other barriers that prevent training and adding those tags can cause buggy behavior.
I will soon be posting separate mods that surgically remove [BENIGN] and [MEANDER] tags, separately so people can have more control, without having to take all the changes.
LOAD ORDER:
This mod should not cause any crashes or bugs no matter the load order, but in case you have another mod that uses the CUT/REPLACE method of editing creatures, load this mod as close to the bottom of the list to make sure it’s changes do not get overwritten. This mod will not overwrite or disable the changes of any other mods.

WANT TO LEARN HOW ITS MADE?
If you are interested in modding Dwarf Fortress, I have put together a guide to show efficient methods of making various tweaks to the game’s creatures, that aren’t well documented elsewhere.
