Most of us have been there. your lion reaches retirement age, or you decide to replace him after a while and then, once you retire/replace him, you find yourself back at square 1 impression wise...and unless you spend countless hours on the game, or are here for aphrodisia, it takes forever to get back up there.

My idea is, instead of starting all the way back at Barely noticeable you take the highest point your lion reached before being retired/replaced and go back 3 levels. {Examples: Dreamboat level stud retires, next king is sitting at Average level, etc.}
A Great suggestion from RedBoxOfWonder (#56702) What if we can impression train the submales. Like, their patrolling chances for Impression as well (Like if it was a success and he gained stats maybe he would gain 1 impression with those.) Also maybe he can gain impression from sparring with your king, like you gain impression from sparring with him.
Awesome suggestion

Constructive comments and ideas are welcome and encouraged.

A suggestion by Daichi (#66698) I'd also like to add another thing. I don't like how when you replace your heir, you have to start all the way at level 1. Most of us players on here will never know what its like to explore in the waterhole because normally our heir has to be replaced before we get the opportunity to.
