Hi guys.

This suggestion does NOT ask for the lionesses to go into heat immediately after you get rid of all her cubs.
So it is NOT on the rejected ideas list.

Problem:
1. When cubs are born that you are not satisfied with and you chase/kill them, you still need to wait for 20 days before you can breed your lioness. Whereas in life lionesses who lost their cubs will come into heat faster.

2. The cub market is horrible because even if people breed and get the 'wrong' cubs, they still put these on the market because they feel forced they need to do it, due to them having to wait those 20 days anyway.

3. People want some kind of 'reward' for chasing cubs, making it worth it.

4. Currently breeding projects are near impossible due to the long waiting period, even if the fail cubs are all chased/killed.

-----------------

My suggestion: if you chase off/kill the whole litter, then the 11 days of nursing should be removed from the lioness' waiting time, and only the rest should be counted. It does not put them back into heat, but will give them the usual 9 days cooldown.

This is not only a good incentive but it doesnt really give any financial or economical advantage to anyone, neither does this encourage mass-breeding to 'get the reward'. Neither will this inflate in price because it has none.

It would also help people with breeding projects. They wish to chase the fail cubs when they get a fail litter and in return they would be able to breed sooner and try again.

BUT!

It should only work if you chase the cubs on the very first Lioden day they are born. Otherwise you got to wait the 20 days.

Why?
This way preventing people from exploiting this feature and putting the cubs on the market first and then chasing them when nobody buys to get the shorter waiting period.

-------------------

There is however a question:
Wont this give people the chance to mass-produce desired cubs faster and so inflate their prices?

The answer is: No.

With the new genetics and the color groups that the cubs can inherit, the chance that you will get the 'right cub' is still as small as it ever was, if not smaller. The difference will be simply that there will be less cubs on the market because people get the incentive for chasing them off as soon as they can. The people will be encouraged to chase even those cubs that are an 'almost' case to get the perfect cubs instead.

And 'perfect' cubs are few and far between. Plus everyone has different projects.

What do you guys think?
