Mod idea: domestication #954

This should be supported by the mod api: Priest conversion capability on wild animals to convert them into controlable military units, domesticate wolf packs and direct them to attack enemies or defend buildings and units with guard.

With nyan this would be a very simple mod: https://github.com/SFTtech/nyan

@TheJJ Can this be closed? It won't be a feature of the base game iiuc. Maybe title and description can be changed to address the mod-api features needed for this?

I won't close it, so we can track progress if/when somebody implements this, but of course this won't be a core game feature, but something added by a mod. The API for that has to be provided.

It should not be hard, the priest/conjurer will change the team assignment like any unit does with sheep. Upon first assignment, melee attack abilities are added so the wolf can attack.
