+ | One way to cheat your way out of a sticky situation is by [[modding]] the eagle entry. Wait for the bird to fly in the air and then save your game. Open the <tt>raw/objects/creature_large_mountain.txt</tt> file and delete the <tt>[FLIER]</tt> tag from the Giant Eagle. Reload your game and enjoy watching the bird plummet to its death. (Note that if it survives, or any new ones spawn, they can still attack your dwarves!) | ||

If they are caught or bought, they can be [[tame]]d, and having a giant eagle hovering outside your base is an excellent [[defense]] mechanism. Watch as they ignore your idiots stay inside [[orders]], and utterly destroy your enemies. |
