Camels
Camels are a form of livestock kept in Dromedary Pens. They are acquired through luring them from the wild by leaving straw in a pen. Camels can be butchered to yield camel meat, oil and leather. Alive, they consume straw and produce dung. In addition, female camels can be induced to produce camel milk.
A Camel eats 120 straw per Egyptian day.
Technically, each camel eats 10 straw every odd real-time hour. (1 AM, 3 AM, etc.)
Camels require a Dromedary Pen to capture and keep. Dromedary pens must be built outside on sand.
Attracting Camels
Every day (Egypt Time) at midnight (also Egypt Time), a single camel is provided to the open pen with the most straw in each section of Egypt (narrowed down to chunks smaller than chariot regions, possibly 1k coord squares). 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.
Use
You can slaughter a camel to receive:
- 6 leather
- 10 oil
- 30 camel meat
Camels will produce dung at a rate of 1 dung for every 10 straw consumed.
Given a taste of honey they may produce Camel Milk.
When 10 of the same gender (all 10 are male or female) are housed together, they produce one male or female Camel Pheromone every four Egyptian days.
In T4, camels in a pen occasionally reproduced. I once found 11 camels in a pen. I have no info thus far in T5.
