I really like this idea, but sub-males exp and levels gets reset if they're kinged, so I'm not sure how that would be a benefit.
The interaction and slight boost to fighting would be good though, even if you gained say, 15% less exp but got 10% increased accuracy or damage that would still be awesome because things like elephants I find nearly impossible to take down. Plus I love the rp messages we get and if that was extended to explore too it'd be so cute ^^
Maybe you could assign one sub to follow you each rollover (meaning they couldn't patrol) and you could get a very slim chance at get decors or items due to sub-male interactions? That would make it even more worth it for me

It'd be more of a benefit towards your king than your sub-males since they reset.

But yeeee I feel the same way, when I see an elephant I don't even touch them xU

I'll add your suggestion into the post, I want that too xD

This sounds very interesting, and I would love to have an excuse for having more than 1 sub male in my den. And maybe instead of EXP, there is a chance that the sub male gets stats or some scars?

This would be too great of an advantage still. I'd say, the main male -if he has a submale along- should get half of everything, not just exp. Including exp, impression (if would get more than 1), and SB. Or even of event currencies if they are obtainable by battle. After all, it isnt all that manly to have help during an explore.

I think it'd be a bit much if the submales also get event currency. There's helping and then there's too much helping :U

I support. But I believe only the main lion should get game currency (and impression) and not it be doubled by 2x. I do like the fact that gaining exp and scar/stats with the submales whilst exploring with you is cool.

On short hand: Main lion should only get impression and game currency, also half (maybe less?) experience.
Submales would get a small amount of stats and small percentage of gaining scars, maybe 5-10% (maybe less than this??) of the experience earned by while fighting with the main lion.

Adding cute roleplay text would add more to the roleplaying aspect of it as well.

I think you should be able to take more than one submale, particularly in places that have more dangerous enemies. Also, enemies attack in groups, it only makes sense that our Kings should have some back-up to rely on.

The downside to males, also, should be that you couldn't claim lionesses or that doing so would be harder (since no lady wants to be crowded by a bunch of strange dudes. At least I don't.)

More potential interaction blurbs:

"Your submale suddenly bats at your flanks, looking at you with a playful expression. It seems he's gotten bored and wants to tussle! (Experience gain)"

"You try to impress the lovely lady, but your Submale tries to divert the attention to himself. She seems annoyed at the pair of you for his antics."

" You decide to take a little nap. Your submale cuddles up near your back." OR "You decide to take a nap. Your submale sits beside you and keeps a lookout."

"Where has your submale gone off to? ...Ah, there he is. As he passes you by, you notice a smug expression and the faint smell of lioness..."

(Evil Submales) "Your submale appears before you with a dead cub, smiling around the body." Options: *Admonish Him (Karma Up)/ *Praise Him (Karma Down)

" Suddenly, there's a downpour. You laugh at your submale as his mane sticks to his face and he grumbles about wanting to go home."

"You see a rogue in the distance, but he seems hesitant to approach with your submale(s) nearby. You all floof up your manes and watch as he slinks off. (Impression Bonus)"

(Good Submales) "Your submale appears before you with a shivering cub. He says he found it near a dead lioness, probably his mother and pleads with eyes for you to adopt it." *Adopt (Karma+)/Reject (Karma-)/Take to Giving Tree (-10 Energy)

" Your submale steps on a thorn. Traveling with him is difficult, so eventually you sit does and finagle the blasted thing out of his paw with a dull look."
