Okay, so the reason I'm posting this is that I know it comes up a lot as a problem and I'm posting this to suggest and gather potential solutions:

A lot of players, especially new members have trouble with the whole survival thing, namely their cubs dying when they had had a "safe" survival chance
Ie: Cub has died. Its survival bar was at 50%, but dropped 12% taking the cub to 38% when it died. Its records have not been stored in your dynasty

Personally, I've begun to evade this by protecting cubs less than 60%, but I remember losing a few cubs to this confusion and I know a lot of newer players also have this problem and it might be nice to just sort it if possible

Nothing much needs to change - one of the more simplistic ideas I propose is for the skull icon to appear when the cub is >60%, as they technically can die at RO from this point, and players will at least be informed
There could also be a rearranging of some of the RO coding, probably for the coding to check what survival chances the cub had AT rollover, and then give the daily decrease. From what I hear, it's currently the other way around and the decrease happens before the chance is checked, and I think this is where the issue happens, as by that point, the cub is in a place where it could potentially die, but since the decrease had already happened, before the rollover, players saw the cub in a stable position that wasn't in a dangerous place for rollover
If anyone else has other suggestions, please say them! I'm hoping this way, this issue can be resolved, and the more you say, the more mods can pick and choose!



This suggestion has 9 supports and 20 NO supports.

It already shows the skull if next rollover cub is at a chance of dying - at 60% its not at risk, at 50% it IS at risk and skull is displayed.

And the best way to avoid loosing cubs? Protect them as soon as they're born. There's absolutely no reason to wait until they're in danger to protect them, you can assign broodmother to them since they're first born and enjoy a 100% safe cub all the way from birth to adolescent, no need for worry or to check anything. It is also more effective to do all the broodmother assigning right as soon as you check the cubs born, and decide which ones are keepers, that way you dont forget which you wanted to keep. Overall better in every possible way. Dont wait for them to be in danger before protecting, is all.

Some people might have too many cubs for their broodmothers to protect or want to give themselves a challenge by seeing if they can keep them alive themselves
Besides, the skull actually shows at 40% and less. As they can die when they reach 40% and RO drops up to 20% per day, they are technically at risk of dying upon RO when as high as 60% - trust me, I've had cubs die from there :")
Plus, it seems kinder to new players who might not know what a broodmother is yet

The skull definitely shows as high as 55% at very least - Ive personally had cubs with that kind of protection level show skull. It is possible you've encountered a bug if it did not show for you, or perhaps a browser lag where the image wasnt loaded yet, because it most certainly does show at higher %s.

Wait? Maybe so :0
I'm certain that they never seem to show that high for me, though? Which makes it seem unlikely to think of it as a glitch/bag/lag

Even cubs from the same litter, of same age, may drop to show skulls at different days - each day a random amount of % goes down, and some cubs may drop slower or faster than others. It is possible to overlook that some cub havent dropped as much as its sibling but showing a skull too? Try keeping a closer look at the exact %s when the skulls appear. They certainly are Supposed to show when next rollover cub might die, and any otherwise would be a bug.

Yeah, ik
Since I joined, they've only showed skulls at 40% or less. I think that's the way with some others as well
