E.10.4: Catch wild horses [1930]


Usage:  CATCH  [number of horses]  [days]
Time:   as given or necessary
Time to learn: 14 days.
Time to use: Variable.

Attempt to catch any wild horses found roaming the plains or pastures. Each day the noble will have a 25% chance of catching a wild horse, if any can be found.

Examples:

    catch        # catch as many horses as possible
    catch 1      # stop after catching 1 wild horse
    catch 0 10   # try to catch horses for 10 days
    catch 1 10   # stop after catching 1 wild horse, or 10 days, whichever
                 # comes first

Plains provinces produce one horse per month, up to a maximum of 100 horses in the province. Pastures produce three horses per month, up to a maximum of twenty horses in the pasture. In all cases, horse-catching ceases when no more horses can be found roaming in the location.
