There is a lot more i want to put but i want to explain why I set it up like this. You see Resources like Horse or Cow or Sheep are to be treated like the wild versions. The breeders turn the wild stock into domesticated stock. Thus making many more resources. Such as Domestic Horses, Domestic Camels and Domestic Donkeys all from the Horse Resource.
In addation some old buildings and some new buildings will need to be updated to these new resources. Such as the Butcher would not use the wild resource of say Pigs or Cows but that of Domestic Pigs and Domestic Cows as well as adding new ones like Domestic Chickens, Domestic Turkeys, etc.
Likewise there could be a building to convert wool producing creatures like Domestic Sheep, Domestic Goats, Domestic Llamas, Domestic Alpacas, Domestic Yaks and Domestic Rabbits into the existing Wool Resource.
Also there could be new resources such as "Milk" that can be produced by a dary building if it has access to milk producing animals like Domestic Cows, Domestic Yaks, or Domestic Goats.
Then other pets such as Domestic Cats, Domestic Dogs, Domestic Rabbit, Domestic Hamsters, etc could be used for a Pet Shop and get extra money for them being there.
Or even have a Test Lab in which they would use Domestic Guinea Pigs, Domestic Rat, Domestic Mice, etc to advance science.
I see many ways to have new types of building that depend upon these breeders.
In addition I think "Equine Breeding" should be required for Chariotry Tech. And "Pachyderm Breeding" required for Elephant Riding tech.
Also Camels should be required to make a "Camel Archer" and "Trade Caravans" units.
What do you guys think? If you like it I will continue making a list for other more exotic pets like parrots, reptiles & amphibians and fish.
for the city(over crowded) and +5
for the extra revenue.
