I was thinking today "Ugh I have to set my lionesses out to hunt.." and a few people have too- they get bored with it, as you can explore and fight which sometimes you get food. I was thinking you could make hunting more interactive like explore was.

I was thinking you could cut the hunts by half and lionesses still have a cool down- but with energy. Maybe an energy bar on the bottom like we have for our Lions. You hit explore and search for food where you place your lionesses (hunting in a pack), and when you find something you fight it. If you win you get that food. You can keep so many "catches" (one per lioness in your group) and have to decide what you want to get rid of. If people don't want a limit on catches, it could be weight wise like a lioness can carry 100 pounds each and an elephant baby is 200 pounds, so you could only get two max per hunt with max lionesses.

EDIT: To keep from having new players barely get any kills, the food should equal power wise to average the lionesses you used

Pros:

-Fun way to hunt
-Takes a bit of interest into lionesses skill wise
-Gives a bit of fairness to stats so it really matters to breed for stats


Cons:

-Takes more time in your day
-Visuals of lionesses may be lowered in value
