Allow All Males to Breed within the Pack

Posted 2020-11-06 03:38:22

We can have up to 200 adult wolves.  Some of those slots have to be purchased with gold.  If only five females can breed there would be no motivation to get your territory that large.  I don't think limiting females will help the site at all.

@Lunar Lords -- I'm guessing you're talking to me?? ^^' If not sorry -- but I said that because I had no idea you could have to 200 wolves! :o In that case it would be more like 20 or something, or just remove that lol! It was just a potential idea! c:

The fact that we can have up to 200 wolves is exactly why I'm against breeding slots as well tbh. Obviously, I would take it over the existing model, but its preferable to me that all males are allowed to breed within the pack and perhaps a breeding cooldown where, once its up, the male stays ready to breed again until he does (so no heat cycles to line up)

Wait, you can have 200 wolves? 

Then it really is unfair for all males but the breeding male to be unable to breed. It’s just weird how you can have 199 females and your breeding male, or 100 females, 100 males yet only one of the males can breed.

just so everyone knows, im not sure where "limited breedings in a males lifetime" came from, but from my understanding, males (besides breeding male) would only have the same breedings as females, but males would have the same cooldown period as a female, so selling a 5 year old male wolf would be essentially the same as selling a female of that age— he wouldn't be able to use all the breedings in the first year of his life or anything, males would just have cooldowns but no heats, so after their cooldown they can breed any time

Hmm, I have mixed feelings on this. It would definitely be nice if you have multiple males you really want to breed. If this is implemented I definitely do not think non-stud males should produce less desirable pups if they are bred, but I do think there should be a strict limit on how often they can be bred compared to a stud.

What would be the point of breeding if the results are not desirable? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I think the way Sneep and others have described it would be the best way for it to work, or the best I've seen so far. Non-stud males can breed with females in the pack only, and they have a cooldown after, so they can't be bred constantly. Once their cooldown ends they can breed whenever, to allow easy syncing with female heats.

@Sneep, I don't remember who but someone had suggested that instead of having cool downs (and/or cool downs of only a day or so,) males would have the same amount of chances to breed in their life as females do without the use of IBFs and elk hearts and stuff (which I think is like 7-8? Not sure.) However, with no or very short cooldowns those chances could be used almost all at once.

So I think that idea was a remix of the one you're talking about, not a misunderstanding of it. Which is why people were talking about a male using up those chances early in his life.

... are we voting on the OP's suggestion here? Is the more of an on going conversation? Or will there be like a a master post of different iterations?

Major support!

I've seen so many variations of this suggestion and, honestly, any of them would be worlds better than being limited to the one breeding male across the board.
