Description

This mod reduces the [manhunterOnDamageChance] and [manhunterOnTameFailChance] of the Emus and instead gives the Emus' manhunter chance on damaging and taming to Cassowaries instead albeit lowered same as the Wargs' 35% Chance of becoming a Manhunter.

I don't know if the Manhunter 100% Chance[en.wikipedia.org] was because of the Emu War jokes or memes, but the Emus in the Emu War[en.wikipedia.org] never attacked the Australian Soldiers as they were scared of the noise of light machine guns being fired at them by Two Soldiers, and the Australia Government never sent an Army, only a small team of Two Soldiers armed with Lewis Gun and Emus were also occasionally hunted during the colonial times in Australia by indigenous Australians and European settlers without any recorded problems, and there were only two documented cases of humans being attacked by emus according to Wikipedia but should be said that Female Emus are more aggressive than Males during courtship periods and are very defensive of their young emus.

But for some Reason the Cassowaries[en.wikipedia.org] who are known to be Very Aggressive[en.wikipedia.org] and if you have Played Far Cry 3,
You know who are these birds who will try to kick you in the face to kill you in that game, who have more documented attacks on humans in real life but this isn't the case in Rimworld strangely for a flightless bird who had documented 150+ attacks on humans!

This Changes that so that provoking a Cassowary by hitting it or trying to tame one will turn one into a Manhunter 35% instead of mostly running away 90% of the time. Ostriches are effected by lowering their manhunter chances as well, as Ostriches[en.wikipedia.org] are mostly afraid of humans but there are also attacks on humans by Ostriches, especially if cornered or threatened and known to defend their territories or their offsprings along reports of Disembowelment and serious injures from Ostrich attacks, but they share the Emus' lowered Manhunter chance for gameplay purposes...

TLTR
Emus aren't that highly Aggressive, Cassowaries are!

Also Emus and Ostriches now appear in groups, herds, packs now...

Works in 1.5, just needs the version tag

I guess it depends on what you count as an "army" since there were more than 2 /MEN/ opening fire and participating in combat with the birds. There were dozens of farmers with their own weapons which participated in the first stage of the attack but ultimately they couldn't kill more than a few hundred.

I don't see a big deal in why it matters to be honest. It's a funny joke, and if you feel the need to elaborate so 'in depth' on why this mod needs to exist, at least get your full facts right? I dunno, I'm not trying to be mean but I don't really know how to phrase this more nicely.

Merry Christmas!

Well... I mean, Emus are mean and aggressive unless they are selling car insurance.

BS. Emus are mean and hard to kill.

For some reason I can't get this mod to enable in RW. Sure, it's in the mod list, I check it every time before and after launching the game. But every time I visit the mod list in game it's inactive there. When I load a game it's not listed it alongside any mods in the mod mismatch window. I double checked the mod workshop folder manually and through Steam, it's there with all files intact.
