The What

Remove heritage from cubs and adols given to the tree like chased lionesses have their heritage wiped.

The Why

Tree'd cubs/adols are essentially the same as finding a chased ncl, they've just been rounded up by a monkey instead of wandering the wilds. I dont see why their heritage shouldn't be treated the same.

From a story point of view, it feels like a lions heritage is something the lion itself shares. You have to go to the ancestor themself to go back past a certain generation, like pursuing marriage records when mapping out a larger family tree irl.

Chased lionesses are already heritageless, yet a lioness of 2 years would likely be able to remember at least some of her heritage. but treed cubs are young and likely not yet had their heritage drilled into their memory, and adolescents may not care for learning their heritage in a fit of rebellion. It would make sense for them not to know their heritage and thus not be able to share it.

The How

Option 1) wipe heritage of all cubs and adols sent to the tree
Option 2) wipe only the heritage of cubs but not adols
Option 3) randomly wipe the heritage of some cubs and adols but not others.
Option 4) give players the option to wipe a cub/adols heritage when sending them to the tree via a popup. 'Would you also like to wipe the cubs heritage before sending them on their way?'

issues and solutions

1) people would wait until the tree was empty and abandon and reclaim their own cubs
- have it either so cubs are held in a pool after abandonning and relesed into the tree at random times to lessen the chance of this happening purposefully OR add something that prevents you getting your own cub back from the tree at all.

2) people would use this as a way to get heritageless muties
- implementing option three where some randimly have their heritage wiped and others dont would lessen this. Possibly making it specifically so muties rarely or never have their heritage wiped.

3) making it so chased cubs/adols appear in explore in some way like NCL's
- getting cubs from explore is on the list of rejected suggestions. And heritageless adols being claimed is part of an event already so thats unlikely to be added.
