Wolvden: Realistic Mode

Wolvden: Realistic Mode
Posted 2023-10-16 15:04:12 (edited)
You see, Wolvden isn't a pretty realistic game in some aspects. Such as having literal red wolves and even dragons & mythical creatures. But in this topic, I will tell you a challenge to enchance the realism and hardship of your gameplay!

I decided to call this the Realistic Mode. It is totally optional to follow this topic, I bet 90% of the Wolvden players will pass by and say ''Wow, this is way too hard for me. I'll pass.'' and that is totally okay! My old-self would also do that, in my opinion. Let's get to the fun stuff now!

Wolvden: Realistic Mode - Rules

1. Your wolf must be natural-looking. An example of a natural wolf is a gray-ish coat with some brown or cream markings. A natural wolf must look like a real life wolf, I recommend looking at wolf reference pictures if you do make one. Semi-naturals are also okay! Semi-naturals are just like natural wolves, but they don't really look like a real wolf in some aspects. Such as having a high color contrast or blue eyes. Mutations do not count, as it would completely mess up the gameplay!

Examples of a NATURAL WOLF

Examples of a SEMI-NATURAL WOLF


-Because of the Black Smudge Heavy marking, it looks like more of a maned wolf.
-Eye color contains two different shades.


-The coloring is pale and plain, while wolves normally have some more markings.
-It has blue eyes, when wolves have about a 2% chance of being born with blue eyes. They normally don't survive up to adulthood. Puppies are automatically born blue-eyed, but their eyes will change color from blue to amber-brown at some point.


-The wolf has some red-ish coloring, which doesn't blend in quite well with the dark brown.

2. If a female wolf in your pack is in heat, you got to breed her to your breeding male, no matter what. In real life, normally during the winter, it is the breeding season and the dominant male (male breeder) is the only one with mating rights. That means your wolves' lineage would be extremely dirty, but I don't really mind inbreeding. I don't know about you, though.

3. Make your subordinates with the hunting speciality hunt atleast twice per rollover. Wolves normally organize hunting parties to get more prey (but some, like wolves from Yellowstone, don't cache prey, since there's too much competition. But who knows where the Wolvden universe is located at? I think Wolvden wolves cache prey a little too much (check your hoard).

4. Do not forcefully retire wolves onto your Dynasty page. You got to wait until they die of old age; I know many players are impatient and need to retire them quickly, but I don't think real life wolves can forcefully make their elderly pack members die.

5. Make your wolves socialize as much times as you can. In real life, wolf packs are an united family, and socializing is a crucial part of their lives. If they do not socialize a desired amount of time, their family laces may be broken.

6. If your alpha is a male, only take a look at the new puppies once they are weaned. In real life, the puppies stay inside their dens until they are weaned, being fed by their mothers' milk. Once they are weaned, they will leave the den and explore for the first time ever. In Wolvden, once your litter is weaned, you may meet them! If you are a female alpha, you may leave the den to feed your pack and etc, but you cannot send hunting parties, explore and anything else, since you are alongside your pups until they are weaned. This also counts for when the female is pregnant.

7. Try to keep your wolves' decors as natural as possible. Trees, grasses and wild animals are okay, but literal blue fire going out of your wolf's nose and eyes is pretty unnatural, don't you agree?

8. During these exploring encounters where you can find dragons, mythical creatures, zombies and stuff like that, just pretend your wolf is either hallucinating or daydreaming! Trust me, this happens to animals, too. My dog has once been scared off of a spot at our house, and the veterinarian said he was simply hallucinating.

9. If you are playing as a female alpha, make your mate the pack's breeding male. If you are the male alpha, make yourself the pack's breeding male. In real life, the alpha breeding pair is the one who sires the pack's pups.

10. For every litter that is born, spin a coin for each pup (real life or digital, both are okay!). If it falls on Heads, it means this pup was born alive and healthy! But if it falls on Tails, it means this pup was born unhealthy and died as soon as they were born. Chase the stillborns as soon as you are available to do so. You can store their records in their mother's bio, here is an example:

{Pup Name}
{Pup Image}
{Gender}
{Stats}
{Birth/Death Date}

11. If you have any alive pups left in the litter, roll a number generator, from 1 to [litter size]. Whatever number it falls on, select it's ideal puppy (ex: if it falls on 3, select puppy number 3 from the litter) and then, roll a number generator from 1 to 1000. Anything below 500 means the pup is normal, but anything bigger than 500 means the pup was born as a hybrid! Then, that's the exciting part.

Roll a number generator, from 1 to 2.

1 means the puppy is a Coywolf (coyote + wolf)!
2 means the puppy is a Wolfdog (domestic dog + wolf, self-explanatory)!

Then, decorate the puppy according to it's hybrid. Example; if it's a Wolfdog, use items such as floppy ears, mangy tail, etc.

I am currently doing Realistic Mode. However, my current alpha was created way before I thought about this mode, so she is pretty messed up in terms of realism; my next alpha will be different.
