Posted December 1, 2012 Bison, as they stand have no use beyond meat and beasts of burden.My suggestion is that they should be milk-able in order to make cheese and whatever plans there are for the dairy-making skill.This could give them a great use beyond their leathers and meat or decorations in steppe and a believable use too.Don't you want to be eating delicious buffalo cheese and butters? http://imgur.com/pdEAl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 1, 2012 The buffalo cheese also know as Mozzarella, is made with the milk of a really different kind of animal.In the game we have Bisons: Bison bisonThe mozzarella ones are Water buffalos: Bubalus bubalisDiferent Genus, diferent Species.

Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) I think some special clothing / home decor options that use buffalo would be nice like unique rugs, capes, and of course....Too late now, but I probably would have preferred a "water buffalo" style model that could assist in farming somehow and carry two barrels worth of items and lead by players. Although American bison are majestic and classic for hunting on prairies (ie Steppes) they have less role in domestic use that I know of. But they made great sources of meats, fur hides and unique trophies. Hiowever if the intent was for bison to be aimed at HUNTING and not FARMING, it might have been better to make them require taming to lead or breed (like DEER) and to have special AI where they traveled in herds and perhaps protected in numbers their weaker members from hunters (remember when a pack of wolves was more feared in Wurm than much more dangerous opponents, because their numbers gave them such huge advantage?)

Posted December 1, 2012 +1!Im almost tempted to say this was planned or in the works becuase when bison are added, cow milk started acting wonky (being renamed to aged fat brown cow milk, rather than just milk) - I couldnt think of any reason why else rolf would mess with the milk like that And we need tomatoes so we can make pizza!

Posted December 1, 2012 Have you ever met anyone who has tried to milk a buffalo of the kind in the game. Not water buffalo because that's not what's in the game, but Bison. No you have not. Why? Because everyone who tried is DEAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
