I remember that no long ago a player asked in chat what were the effects of lionesses' personalities, besides the nurturing one, and that a staff member replied that none, for the moment, but that it was already planned to change. I've searched and found no other suggestion that focused solely on this, so here we go:

Female's Personalities Overhaul!



Right now, we have about 50 different personalities for females, 10 per karma group, and only one of those - Nurturing - has a notable effect within our prides beyond the mood boost and penalties that all karma groups share. This is a lot of effects to make, so I thought that we could begin suggesting 9 to complement the "taking care of an extra cub as a broodmother" one, and see where they fit within all the karma groups as a personality. Or that could stay exclusive to the good girls, like some male personalities? Or maybe add a counterpart to the evil side?

Perhaps we could have some lionesses have a chance of bringing something "extra" from their hunts, like the Stingy or the Gracious ones? Have some that help with the general mood of the pride, like the Joyful, Upbeat or Humorous personalities? Maybe some that can boost our PvP or PvE chances, like the Loud and Brutal ones? What would you want your ladies to be able to do?

Possible Personalities' effects:


Interaction Effects



  • A small chance of regaining 5% of energy once per Rollover and lioness when interacting with certain personalities (Cuddly, Gentle/Calm, Laidback, Lazy, Grumpy/Secretive?).

  • A small chance of getting 1-5 SB upon interaction with certain lionesses.

  • The chance of getting a special decor (Patient Expression) when you interact with certain lionesses (Emotional, Needy).

  • A small chance of gaining 1-3% of impression level upon interacting with certain lionesses (Proud, Vain)/A small chance of gaining certain "messy" decors upon interacting.

  • A chance of being gifted small trinkets - single use bones, feathers - upon interacting with certain lionesses (Distant?).

  • Exclusive to Awkward lionesses: a chance of being gifted your least favorite food upon interacting.

  • A small chance of the lioness gaining 10-25 EXP points upon interaction with the lioness in question.

  • A small chance of the lioness gaining 1-3 random stats when interacting with the lioness in question.



The Feed all, Play all feature would have 0% chance of any of the interaction effects taking place: this is not a penalty, but a warning. For the interactions' effects to take place, you have to actually interact with the lionesses.

Special Effects



  • Protect 6 cubs as a Broodmother (This is already in-game)

  • Aid in a PvE battle once per day. This could work as Laharu did, and have her attack after every attack of our own. Intrepid

  • Exclusive to Romantic ladies and an Evil personality (Sinister?): Be able to mate with them once per Rollover without any energy cost/Enable the mating to another lioness without energy cost once per Rollover.|Auto-claim a lioness in explore once per RO thanks to her matchmaking/conniving ways. It's been pointed out that the auto-claim effect has the potential of being abused, so a way to limit it or a whole new effect would be welcome!

  • *Exclusive to a Good personality (Trusting?): Escort a pride member to the Natural Reserve once per Rollover; the lioness would get a small mood boost, gain 1-3 stats at random/give you +5 karma while she loses a hunt. This would take effect when you click on the "Send to Nature Reserve" option at the bottom of an unsecured lion page, and the flavor text could be: "You decide to take [LION'S NAME] to the Nature Reserve, but [TRUSTING LIONESS] volunteers to do it for you. She missed a hunt, and you gained [REWARD]."

  • *Exclusive to a Bad personality (Brutal?): Kill a pride member once per Rollover; the lioness would get a small mood boost/satiate hunger/add a carcass to the hoard/gain 1-3 stats at random/give you -5 karma while she loses a hunt. This would take effect when you click on the "Kill" option at the bottom of an unsecured lion page, and the flavor text could be: "You approach [LION'S NAME] with murderous intent, but [BRUTAL LIONESS] steps in and demands to do it, and you let her. She missed a hunt, and you gained [REWARD]."

  • Bring a small carcass once per Rollover when requested – this would make a brand new button a necessity/Have a small chance of bringing a critter carcass back with the usual hunting carcasses – the lioness would need to be part of that hunt.

  • Exclusive to Cold Lionesses: Don't loose any mood when taking a cub from their care.

  • Being able to cut the hunting time by half once per Rollover (the lioness must take part on the hunt).

  • Exclusive to Graceful and Harsh lionesses: A second chance per Rollover to train a single cub that has failed their training that Rollover.



*Those two are counterparts, and the idea is for only one of those effects to be possible, but the hunt cost is a must; which effect do you prefer? Karma? Mood for the lioness? Stat gain? Other?

Given that these effects could be taken advantage of with larger prides, a good way to prevent a possible abuse would be establishing a system similar to the stud slots: every week an account has a given amount of effect slots, and every time one of these is purposely used it'd take a slot away, until there are no more left or the counter refills the following week.

Automatic Effects



  • Raise pride members’ moods 2-4% every Rollover. This would take effect only within compatible karma groups: Kind and Good, and Snarky and Evil. Neutral is, well, neutral, so it'd only work within other neutral lions. The personalities that could have this effect could be Joyful, Upbeat, Humorous, Sassy and Mischievous.

  • Prevent a single pride member from leaving if they do so from a low mood, randomly (Warm lionesses or similar?).It's been pointed out that this effect has the potential of being abused, so a way to limit it or a whole new one would be welcome!

  • Exclusive to Rebellious personality: Lose only a 5% of mood upon Rollover, regardless of the king's personality.

  • Exclusive to Stingy and Prudent lionesses: they lose 5-10% less hunger per RO due to their "private stash".



Edit: I erased the whole personalities lists, for convenience purposes, given that the post was getting very long. I'll repost them once each one has been given a possible effect, preferably on a fancy table.



This suggestion has 841 supports and 6 NO supports.

HECK TO THE YES

I has bothered me for quite some time that the males were the only ones who got the advantages with the personality types, and even then, it's only with the Kings. Seeing this in game would be fantastic, honestly...

potentially you wouldnt need a button for the lionesses killing/escorting others?
You could do it like normal but perhaps the first time you do it (per rollover)

its like (i cant remember the actual text so bare with me)
"you decide to take Lioness1 to the nature reserve, however Lioness2 volenteers to do it for you. you loose no energy and gain +5 karma."
and
"You approach Lioness1 to kill her, but Lioness2 cuts you off and asks to do it. you agree. you loose no energy but loose -5 karma."

edit: and add in 'and lioness2 looses 1 hunt' or somethin

I Support, seem's very interesting since most personalities, especially to the lionesses, make it useless and boring.

However i don't get the concept: " Raise pride members’ moods 2-4% every Rollover. This would take effect only within compatible karma groups: Kind and Good, and Snarky and Evil. Neutral is, well, neutral, so it'd only work within other neutral lions. The personalities that could have this effect would be Joyful, Upbeat, Humorous, Sassy and Mischievous. " Because isn't there already some Mood's/ Personalities for this?

@Oracl

There are, but they are only for your main male. Taken directly from the wiki: "[...] your King's personality can conflict with the personalities of your pride members. On each rollover your pride loses mood, but it will be different depending on their personalities, as they tend to conflict. Evil and Good will conflict each other, resulting in a major mood drop. Snarky and Kind will conflict each other, resulting in a major mood drop. Alike personalities such as evil and evil, or good and good will result in the lowest mood drop. Any other personality combinations will have mood drop as normal, unless your King is a Loner (Neutral), which has its own effect."

The idea would be having lionesses with certain personalities boost their fellow pride members' spirits every RO a little bit, even if you king's personality clashes with them.

Hey guys, I just edited the Romantic effect - to have them "convince" a lioness in explore to join our pride - and the aid in PvE that it's still personality-less to act as Laharu did.

Do you think we could have an Evil lioness "bully" a lioness in explore to join us, to be a counterpart to the Romantic?

I personally find this very interesting and I'd love to see the lionesses have more character relating to their personality!

I have to say I don't support any personalities that are only a once per day per personality instead of a once per day per lion. It kind of deafeats the purpose of each lion having it's own personality.

Maybe in the pvp battle each lion it's once per day but it's like a check box. So before you attack you check mark one lioness and she has a chance of doing an attack with you? Say a 50% chance, and it's once per day. So if you choose hit you do the action and she has a chance of doing the action as well. So say if you hit grab she would also have a chance of doing grab, same with roar, smack, etc.

A suggestion for stingy lionesses, maybe they don't get hungry as fast? Like only loose 10% hunger per day. X saved up her own stash of food so she already ate today. Or X ate food you were going to waste, didn't you know that was still good for eating?
