As a player grows their pride keeping everyone fed and happy becomes more of a task. Hunting is a constant activity and it is easy to fall behind in keeping a pride of 30+ lions fed, don't log in one day, not have enough time to send out multiple hunting parties or your lionesses just keep bringing back small prey. There are countless ways that can cause your pride's hunger to sky rocket. To combat this I propose Hunting expeditions, a type of hunt that would significantly increase chances to catch multiple large prey animals. (Approx 10-18 uses per expedition) Expeditions would be different from normal hunts in several ways. -Extended hunt length, your lionesses are journeying far to find more food for the pride so the hunting time should increase significantly (approx. 60 min) -Enlarged party size, this serves a duel purpose of in-game logic that would require more lionesses to take down more prey and also insure that this feature is used by players with large prides (approx. 10 lionesses per expedition) -Fewer Expeditions, this feature shouldn't be used just to sell off more carcasses for SB at Monkey Business so less expeditions to hinder surplus hunting (3-5 hunts per rollover) Additional ideas *?*- Small SB fee to send out expedition (60-100 SB) *?*- Expeditions affect hunger and/or mood *?*- have access to this feature be determined by pride or territory size *?*- Lionesses that have gone on expeditions have multiple hunts removed from daily amount |

I'll support, but I don't really see the big issue. If you don't log in for a day or a week or a month, your lions won't get any hungrier than they were when you were last on. And it always seems easy for me to feed my pride, even if I only get 3-4 hunts a day for a week. ![]() |

I support. I have a lot of things to do and don't have a lot of time to send out multiple hunting parties throughout the day (average is probably 2 hunts, one in the morning and evening, maybe 3) and even then, I usually get small prey, maybe some prey with 5 uses if I'm lucky, but if your lions are close to running then it takes more than one use to feed them. I also might log in but forget to hunt. I have 26 lions, not including myself. Have that happen a few times through the week and my whole pride is starving. Being able to send lioness out for an hour or so to bring back more food uses would help a ton. I could just be an irresponsible user, but this happens to me a lot. ![]() |

Support. I've always thought there should be a way to send out more then 5 lionesses. And it sounds really fun. I think it'd also be cool if there was a increased chance to get bigger carcasses, like multiple (2-3) giraffes, hippos maybe even a small chance to get rhinos and elephants carcasses. ![]() Edited on 18/10/16 @ 09:44:14 by Phantom StarsX (#92256) |

I don't support. I have a hard time getting sb and food so not having enough sb for the expeditions would be a issue for me and other players. ![]() |

I don't think this was meant to replace the current hunting system, but as an additional feature. ![]() |

I don't intend for SB (or any of the other additional ideas) to be a requirement for expeditions. It serves as a possible amendment to make the feature more valuable and maintain the challenge of the game if the previous requirements don't already achieve that. Many user suggestions get shot down because they undermine the challenge of the game and having a way to get a bunch of food is toeing that line. I think this proposal might be the closest we get to getting more people to like the system without creating something entirely new. ![]() |

I support. With a large pride of 38 lionesses, plus countless cubs and a few subs, makes it a chore to feed them all. While it wouldn't be a problem if I was on for longer periods in a day, I'm usually only on long enough to do two, maybe three or four (if I'm REALLY lucky) hunts a day. Larger prey is apparently rare for my gals, so they usually only bring back prey with 2-4 uses each. Not gonna feed my pride. I'm having to spend heaps on food in order to simply keep my pride fed, so a hunting expedition would certainly help a LOT. ![]() |

The "pay to go hunting" is the things that defeats purpose. Someones you better just buy cheap food around than pay 100 sb My pride goes around the size of 50, while feeding most of time had been easy specially after they implanted that when you encounter a carcass and is already 0% hunger you take some small pieces... But then there is days I cant be always hunting and checking around, and my surplus drops really low. The idea itself is good but needs polishing, for me only for the fact to send more lionnesses away. ![]() |

Maybe to prevent this for being abused, there could be a cooldown period of a couple of Lioden days, although I'm unsure how long this period should be. A hunting expedition sounds like an arduous, long task to me: the lionesses would spend most of their time tracking and choosing carefully the prey, so they could bring as much food as possible to their pride. ![]() |

I'm no sure what would be best when it comes to cool-downs. Maybe the cool-down could prohibit a lioness from being sent on a expedition more than once a roll-over. That way people would have expeditions limited by how many lionesses you have. If 10 was the required party size it would look a little like this: 0-9 lionesses: don't qualify 10-19 lionesses: 1 expedition per roll-over 20-29 lionesses: 2 expeditions per roll-over and so on till the decided daily limit of about 4 or so. ![]() Edited on 03/08/16 @ 14:15:35 by missingjay (#79194) |
