So, while browsing the Trading Center I sometimes come across lions that are advertised as clean-bred; but when you go and check their heritage it is quite often the case that they aren't in-fact clean at all. Some of this may be in relation to recent events, but I also feel like it has something to do with the way heritage viewing is set up.

In order to view lion heritage, you click a button saying 'View Full Heritage' which brings you to this view here:

My king displays currently as having no inbreeding on this page of his heritage. However, if you are not familiar with current game mechanics, it would be very easy to assume that this page is the ONLY page of heritage; that this one page is the FULL heritage of this lion. There is nowhere that indicates you need to click on the names pf the Great-Great-Grandparents to extend their heritage further.

Seasoned players already know that in order to view a complete heritage, you need to click into the heritage of the Great-Great-Grandparent in order to extend the heritage. As an example, the lion 'Contagious' appears in my kings history. If you click on his name in heritage view, you get taken to the next page of heritage, like so:

Which now shows that my king does indeed have inbreeding in his extended heritage, which currently is not shown in the first page of his heritage screen.

Taking this a step further, I will click into the next available Great-Great-Grandparent present in my kings heritage: Shady.

Which shows yet ANOTHER set of heritage that wasn't previously known to exist, and ANOTHER set of inbreeding.

It is safe to assume that new players, or even older players who are unaware of heritage mechanics, might assume the first page you view is a complete record of history.. Which brings me to the point of my suggestion.

I would like to suggest that continued heritage is either indicated by a 'next' button, or an arrow -> leading from the names' of the Great-Great-Grandparents OR at the bottom of the heritage page, have a link with 'view next page'. Alternatively, a 'view full extended heritage' which would bring up the ENTIRE heritage history on one page, like a family tree. Obviously all of this is dependent on the ability to code it in - and I understand the heritage is still slightly buggy and possibly being worked on, but I feel like this would help to avoid confusion for newer players, or those who might not actually be aware on how the heritage pages currently work, as there is literally nowhere that says the heritage does continue beyond the Great-Great-Grandparent.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions, improvements? Would love to hear them. If you disagree, I'd love to hear why. Thanks for reading my jumbo :D <3

In Summary
- A link to "view full heritage" with a family tree or link or arrow near the great-great-grandparent to indicate the heritage continues

- Or even just a specification you are viewing page 1 of ?? extended heritage.
i.e, Heritage View Page 1 of 6

I like both the idea of a "view full heritage" and a "viewing page 1 of ??"

Support.

Edit: Fixed a typo.

I feel like it'd probably lead to lag if the site needed to be able to pull a truly full heritage. But it'd be invaluable to have something say, I dunno, (more) or something under relatives names that shows that they've got a longer lineage than you can see from the first page.
