There’s also that game where you get to be a necromancer, or a beastmaster, or just a plain-old Orc Champion and you get various followers depending on your taste. Though I’m pretty sure they don’t breed since they spawn as you want them to, there is a sheer force in numbers to suffice the lack of explicit content.
If I had to wait for a baby goblin to mature in game, I think I’d squash him. And that’s also roguelike, squashing/slicing ugly goblin/zombie babies…
I sincerelly admire your enthusiasm, youtoo. It’s that the concept behind cross-training and breeding comes from the strategy line of games, whereas you upgrade your facilities to have hydras spawn with more and more heads, and your Kennels grant you hellhounds instead of wargs for your Orc Riders. I don’t even know what could I do with an Alien/Ice_Dragon crossbreed in a sandbox game, other than feed it milk and cookies until it eats me…?
