Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

Mosquitos would win this straw poll hands down so of the other wild pests which once do you find the greatest pain. For me it is the pigs. Pork farmers have gotten my family killed more than once by putting a wild boar in the sheep pen. I have a bad tendency to wander in to them when exploring. (bears are easy to avoid, snakes a little tricky, but they give you boots, wolves are not aggressive unless you hang around them, pigs will ambush you from behind a tree)

My greatest error is seeing one pig and thinking it's the only one so because I see it I think there can't be another behind the tree and it's safe to take a short cut. It's never safe. Cut down the whole swamp and kill all the pigs. Make them all in to tacos so no one can breed dogs without walking over to the next biome.


If we ever get a way to kill the skeeters I will spend several lives doing nothing but that. Mosquitos cheat.

Sneks are totally the worst. They're completely camouflaged behind dem big desert trees.

I died more from boars than from any other animals. Especially that at first I thought they were friendly

Boars... wolves are second place. Because wolves atleast most of the time move away from the player, while a boar's moves are random. I hate that they're able to move so many tiles at once, whenever I get a bow done in eve camp I go around slaying all the boars, then the wolves nearby.

Boars get the arrow from me.

I have perished too many times to boars. My family has perished too many times to boars.
In a live I killed over 12-/+ boars to avenge my son. All swamps desolate.

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

Snakes.  I find them harder to kill than anything else.  I've tried smashing them with a car, but I'm not completely sure how running over it works, because I've appeared to run them over, but don't become roadkill.  I think roadkill snakes respawn in the desert fairly quickly also.  Snakes also will pose a problem if I'm not careful.  I can also kill anything else early probably than killing a snake early if starting from scratch out in the wild.

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

I personally don't like snakes, I'm always on a horse and then bam my horse is on the ground dead! because instead of going around the dessert I just had to enter it! and it doesn't help when your moving that fast their camouflage really takes effect!

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

Snakes. I don't die much to other animals, and snakes aren't an exception to that, but their bites are almost impossible to treat. You have to go out and get a horse killed by a snake, cut it open, and bring the bowl of antivenom back. I've had people try to steal the bowl, as well. Plus, you have to sterilise a knife to use the antivenom. And I haven't seen a single adult get bitten and make it back to the town or village, whether or not it has antivenom. In fact, the only person I've seen get bitten and get to the village is a newborn baby.  They're just so complicated to care for and I barely see it happen, but I can't help myself from getting antivenom if the town is big and doesn't have any.

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

It's silly because any town advanced enough to have bothered getting antivenom to treat snake bites will have already killed all the nearby snakes.

Make anti venom portable and the only thing you need to treat a snake bite. The lost space in your pack and need another person would still make use rare, but at least parties going to clean out multiple iron mines and families on migration would have a reason to bring it.

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

Best preventative method to snakes is a knife.
Yet they hide out in the open, clear as day to see. IF you must go in, tread carefuly and you, your horse, the cart'll live.

The swamps and jungles are dense and trechearous. What looms behind the trees? A boar or not-boar.

Re: Least favorite wild animal (excluding skeeters)

Snakes when you're riding with a horse/horsecart
Wild boars and wolves when you're on foot, they have long distance runs and are almost impossible to avoid if they managed to cross to your path. I've been so many times sniped by pigs and wolves off screen while running errands for town.
It's difficult, but once again, when you're in hurry, you can't make it safe very easily.
Only thing I've tried to do with these issues is make 'safe item roads' to avoid being targeted. Swamps are more difficult since only items that you can use 'that do not decay' are raw clays, and if you don't have enough of them, you have to kill boars around....
Sigh.
