If you click on Attack training only, the game will automatically also click on Guard training. Attack training without Guard training is not possible. So, when you have a new animal and it has no training whatsoever, you can click on Attack training and the game will automatically ask pawns to train the animal for Guard training first, then for Attack training. The Attack training happens after you have done Guard training.

ThereвЂ™s an example of this below вЂ“ sending 35 predators to attack a sole raider. And the whole purpose of this training is to allow you to send animal forward to attack someone/something вЂ“ the button to do this is вЂњRelease animalsвЂќ of your drafted pawn. (See further examples of Caribou-1 vs Cassowary-2 below) It cannot have a Master because it has not been trained yet. Press the вЂњFollowвЂќ tick of the animal (under Animals tab).ДЇor Bison-13, it is in training for Guard.Assign a Master to this animal (under Animals tab).This is the sequence to ensure an animal will guard its master (instead of wandering around): Once youвЂ™ve assigned a master, you then click on the вЂњFollowвЂќ command under the Animals tab in the main game window. To do that, once an animal is trained for Guard, you assign a Master under Animals tab in your main game window or directly on the Training tab of that animal. In order for an animal to do the guarding work, it has to be assigned a вЂњMasterвЂќ.

Without Guard training, the animal does not follow pawns or guard them. Think of it as animal foundation training. This is a basic feature for any training of the animal. Only tamed animals have вЂњTrainingвЂќ and вЂњNeedsвЂќ tab. The 60% for Bison is important and I will explain more in the next section, Maintenance Taming. If an animalвЂ™s tameness reaches 0/5, it will flip back into the вЂњWildlifeвЂќ animal set (i.e. Before the tameness level gets to 0/5, if you intend to keep the animal, you should ensure your animal-handlers focuses on the animal. This means Bison-13 is slowly becoming more wild/less tame. The Training ElementsД®very single animal under your вЂњAnimalsвЂќ tab will have this as this is automatically given upon first taming, which is 5/5. In this case, itвЂ™s a Bison and opening the Training tab for Bison-13, we see:ДЄlso notice the Wildness indicator, 60% in this case. LetвЂ™s start with an animal, left-click on one and select the вЂњTrainingвЂќ tab.

When you give the command to send the animal, you are releasing that animal.Дina, the pawn on left, is drafted and you can clearly see her вЂњbodyguardsвЂќ.

You have to draft the pawn and the pawn has to be in attack-mode.

The pawn has to be a вЂњMasterвЂќ of that animal.

This command is available only when a few conditions are met: Releasing animals refers to sending out animals to attack someone or something (animals / mechs). I try not to put in spoilers in this basic guide. This guide is a basic introduction on the purpose of each training assignment for an animal in Rimworld. The system of animal management in RimWorld is not exactly the most self-explanatory. How to Tame and Train Animals Introduction
