| + | Also note that Giant Eagles are exotic creatures and require a [[Dungeon master]] to tame. Their eggs take approximately six months of gametime to hatch; if eggs haven't hatched and it's been over six months, then something's gone wrong -- either they weren't fertilized, the mother was forced out of the nest box, your fort has hit a cap on total animals, or something else -- and you'll need to remove those eggs and force new ones to be laid if you want hatchlings. Once hatched, hatchlings take approximately an additional year to reach adulthood. | ||

Because of current bugs with the Dungeon Master, Giant Eagles cannot be tamed when caught wild, only purchased from the Elves, and even purchased tame Eagles will not breed. This may be worked around by editing your savegame's raw files to replace the [PET_EXOTIC] tag with [PET]. | Because of current bugs with the Dungeon Master, Giant Eagles cannot be tamed when caught wild, only purchased from the Elves, and even purchased tame Eagles will not breed.

| − | Additionally, there is a current bug where tamed animals that have the [flying] tag, don't. So once tamed, your giant eagles will remain earthbound and never take to the sky, which makes them somewhat less deadly than they would be otherwise. | + | Additionally, there is a current bug where tamed animals that have the [flying] tag, don't.
