Camels

Camels are fairly easy to raise, they just eat a lot of Straw.

Camels require a Dromedary Pen to capture and keep. Dromedary pens must be built outside on sand.

To capture a wild camel, you must open the door to your pen and have the pen with more straw than neighboring Dromedary Pens that have their doors open. If you do attract a camel, the amount of straw in the pen will become 0. Opening the pen door to catch a second wild camel will not result in the first camel escaping and wandering away.

Notes on getting them

• Nova: We got two camels - first night we got a female using an odd # of straw and on the 2nd night we got a male using an even # of straw. I forget the exact amounts but they where btwn 1500-1700.

• Elia: Got a female camel in a remote area, with 31 straw, at precisely 12:00am game time. This suggests that like in previous Tales, the wild camels arrive based on the most straw in local pens in the area where they are generated.

• Garai:I don't remember how much straw I used to get my first female camel but, the next 2 camels I got: female first with even # of straw second was a male with odd # of straw. So thinking it doesn't matter with odd or even #.

• Imhlat: We should distinguish between adding straw in odd/even amounts, and stocking the pen with odd/even amounts. I ADDED an even number of straw to my pen, and attracted a male camel.

• GiausBaltar: Falsified! I added an odd # of straw to the pen, leaving an odd number in the pen, and I recieved a male camel. Either the above is completely false, or the even/odd straw amounts are *at best* giving a probabalistic determination of sex.
