what are the benefits for having a queen?

A queen could protect female adolescents from running away with a rival.... or direct the hunters (better chance at more prey/bigger prey)

Well, she could train Cubs, you could engage in a tussle with her for stats, she could also have a greater chance of bringing back a large carcass from a hunt.

If it were realistic then she would be protecting the femal adols from running off with rival males..
but I like the hunting idea too..

It'd be cool to have Queen slots also. Like sub males you could have more than one, up to 2 for SB and anymore after that would cost GB

{edit} @Tyrafire24 :3(lights off) I would like to see something implemented where your lionesses could be wooed away from the pride. Perhaps adding a loyalty meter along with hunger and amusement? And you'd have to interact with the lionesses to keep their loyalty, and if it got too low another king could come in a woo them away to his pride...

I dont like the possibility of loosing my adolescents... Otherwise I would support this idea but the Broodmother thing is enough with the cub protection bar.

And if it would cost to have more Queens which may be more like Sub males with only two three free ones, some people mass breed, spending more GB that some people cant buy just so we can keep our adols after being able to keep our cubs safe does NOT appeal to me ONE bit.

Yes its a bit more realistic but its just no. Otherwise go for everything else! I love this idea but I refuse the idea of more of my lions having issues staying.

Lol. Okay Revenge. No problem. Yet again, that was not the initial idea. Just a supporters idea.

Yeah no, I don't like the idea of lionesses wandering off either. Lots of people spend a lot of money on breeding projects and such, so to have kings have the ability to 'woo' (steal) lionesses from another user sounds horrible to me.

I do love the idea of having Queens though! The hunting idea seems like the most likely way it could be implemented. Perhaps also the Queens could have the ability to go on any hunt (like, an extra slot in addition to the 5 usual) To increase the chances of a good hunt. It wouldn't give you 6 lioness hunting tiles, but it would be like the Queen would be the supervisor/director to keep all the lionesses 'on task.'

Tbh I'd love to see a revamp of the hunting system, and this would be a fun way to involve something new in it!

I love the idea dont get me wrong!!! But I think the adol idea is a bit to much even for me and I'm a frequent player since '13. I agree with Dez.
A beautiful idea! But I cant go with the adol idea.

Maybe queens would live longer? Maybe another year or so, because as queen, they are probably taken care of much more than other pride members. Queens could also have a shorter cooldown after giving birth to cubs. Say, 10-15 days rather than 20. They are also guaranteed to come into heat immediately after cooldown, or a maximum of 3 days rather than 8.

If they were to live longer, have shorter cooldowns, and come into heat faster, there should be a limit to how many queens are allowed. I'd say 3-5 max at 40, +1 every 5 territory slots. This would help with any sort of "cheating". And, again, to avoid messing with the market breeding-wise, only lionesses without a mutation can be queen.
500sb for the first 2 queens, and then +5 golden beetles afterwards. For males, I believe it's +4 golden beetles every slot. Maximum of 10 queens.

I really like the idea of having queens! There are so many possibilities for what queens can do. The only problem I have with it (other than it being expensive), is that it seems like it's a lot of work to implement. If this is going to be added, I doubt it will be less than a few months to have it all sorted out and ready.

I can see the Loyalty Meter becoming a thing, but as something later on down the road after queens are added in. That is, if this is even going to be planned.

I like what Dez posted as well. Having a queen supervise and bring larger kills that way is a great idea, in my opinion. Like adolescents, two queens per hunt maximum, and, still, bigger carcasses come from higher leveled lionesses.

Great idea!

What if queens had a special romantic bond with the king, causing them to come into heat more often and/or produce larger-than-average litters?
