Releasing Animals from Cages

    You know the feeling when you try catching a red chicken, but instead you catch a white chiken? Then you have to drop the crate... load your pistol... aim at it's head... then pull the trigger? Feathers fly everywhere, pigs die screaming in agony, and snakes flail lifelessly. I HATE how this happens... so I thin kwe should be able to release animals from cages if we catch the wrong animal.

    And then here comes the "If a troll releases them on the ship then we can't catch them." well, they cant jump off ledges so it would be easy to catch them again.

    @cheatingpirate Ahoy matey!

    This was one of the points even Joe called out as one of the features they had missed and would be eventually implementing so hopefully in a future update we won't have to be so mean....

    Would be funny to see all the animals on the loose on the deck too!

    @musicmee Oh wow! He said that, so it should be coming eventually.

    And imagine all the chickens on ONE ship. Wait... if we release pigs on the ship, and sail them back, we won't have to feed them.

    @cheatingpirate He did say taht yup!

    Maybe that's the reason they have held off while they find a way to make sure it's not that easy ;)

    Maybe when you let them go they head straight for jumping overboard?

    @cheatingpirate They don't... I don't know how to explain it to you but.... the pigs meet a sticky situation in the end!

    @cheatingpirate That doesn't seem to stop them running around under several feet of water on the beaches!

    I'm right there with you @CheatingPirate.
    I hate killing the animals! But I do feel like it may get a little messy, as pointed out below, you could release the pigs on board or under deck to avoid feeding them for the trip back. However, I first thought about releasing them on Islands where they don't originally come from.
    For example if you released them on an outpost the next player could get a quest and catch their "loot" without having to leave the same island.
    I know its a super Rare ;) chance of this happening, but just my first thought.

    I personally would love to release loads of snakes on my lower deck around the chests, as a guard dog sort of situation. I would only need a couple of baskets and could run backwards and forwards catching snakes.

    @Musicmee If animals would jump off the ship they should attract some sharks. That's as inhumane as shooting them to be honest.
    Maybe they could implement it so you can only release them on an island, would be a compromise. I would probably carry all animals i can find to an outpost and let them live there. :-)
