Long is Chinese for dragon and Ma means horse.

Do we know what the work horses look like?

Anyone know what the perks will be yet or if this is Tianma's mate?


Any more news on the water divines?

Love Longama!

***I meant Longma!

Ok, kind of going off topic, but I don't like the face of Famine. It's almost like a mist over the face. Just my opinion.

Anyone remember kelpie?
I think long a is the same as kelpie was,just a cover up. By the way were are the images from?

Typo longma

the Images are from the Ouranos site on the French Server:

I agree. I do not think Longma can be a female. If Longma is a female then that would be quite a surprise because the graphics of Longma are kinda masculin.

Longma is so Spooky! Perfect for October.lol

I don't know about legends, but looks... eh. I think it's absolutely beautiful; the "eh" came from the fact that, for that one, there is no way to tell. And remember Shenma? The one everyone was SURE that it was female?

According to Ow on the international server:

interesting. Thanks for saying that!

Well we'll start out with herd starter packs like these

What!? Thats hilarious!

Okay so we grow cows like carrots - does that mean we are going to have to dedicate one of the five fields to 'raising' cows for leather. Or will they finally allow us at least one extra field?

Would be nice if we could have 5 fields plus the one that is locked up by apples. And depending on how long it takes to 'grow' cows - 1 that we can dedicate to them. Or set the 'growing' season for the cows as fall or winter so as to not interfere with crop production.

Or will there be a special area for the cows separate from meadows?

If we don't get an extra meadow for "cows" I'm not growing them -- I am not particularly fond of cattle -- I raise horses -- there are other games on the internet to raise (and even show) cattle ..... I hope this is iindeed a joke

I doubt we are raising cattle like we do horses.

I suspect based on what was copied over from the International Server - and we'll find out more once they start testing the next round of changes - that we will 'plant' cattle like we do carrots and when they are harvested we get the leather to use in making of tack or other things.

It would be too time consuming to actually have to raise cattle to a certain age or older and then have to send them to slaughter, gather the hide and send to the tanner and then use the finished product to create tack.

I do hope they looking at something like the create mash panel

We have to harvest leather and once you have enough in stock you can go to the 'create tack' panel and select the type of tack - each costing differing amounts of leather and maybe other items.

All of that is a guess - not gonna worry until it gets here - then I'll panic

Carol

then have a two click senario -- click the cattle button, click the make tack button -- there you are ... simple -- the cows aren't real --- same thing with the cows for the western ECs, but they are bought -- well, we'd have to buy the "seeds " for the cows anyway ....

Hahaha! Cow seeds? Best joke ever!lol.

Anyway, why not raise cows like we do horses? We could have cOws. Get it? We could have a
Separate breeding area just for cows. Like a file with cows and a file with horses! That would be awesome. We have donkeys, so why not have cOws?

So we will be skinning the cows for leather? That could cause some fights.

List of items for saddle making idea:

1 cow
Tub of grease
Polish
Anything else?

If they make the cows more like a crop that you grow, that will probably smooth over the truth of where leather actually comes from (or soften it anyway for younger players- I doubt howrse wants to get into the politics of it). I doubt they're going to add in more animal husbandry to this game (breeding cows etc) especially if they're intended as part of a product cycle.

I like the idea of cow 'seeds'. I do wish it could be a tad bit more interactive, but we still don't know everything, so who knows the surprises we are in for.
On the account of skinning the cows. In real life cows are used for so many different purposes. Now because hOWrse is surround around and based on horses and horses care, then we can't necessarily have beef and milk and all that stuff. But in my opinion its seams kind of worthless just to use your cow on tack. Less time consuming, and less worrying? Yes: But I say we should have another duel purpose for our cows.

Side Note: We're do we get the dye for the colored tack?
