Pursue is a useful tool when figthing a high-reward enemy, and gives disposition some importance! It sucks to having to fight high level enemy, lose half your pack to them, then they just flee!

Although, one of my wolf's disposition is 'obedient', but they still rebelled from pursuing? Thankfully it happened near the end of battle, but damn that's annoying lmao

I breed for wolves with high disposition and always have one pursuer selected when choosing wolves for explore. So I usually have at least two wolves in my pack that are just there to pursue in explore.
