~~> To have my king’s stats be 2000+ by the time I get to Pisces.
~~> To have mainly BO marks on my kings as the challenge progresses.


I start the Liolocke with nothing. No currency, no items, no lions.
● My first king will be customized and G1. All future kings must come from his lineage, but will be customized to fit the zodiac being represented.
● Any items that I currently have will be sent to my side account, to use in non-Liolocke lions.
● Hunting will be done by Liolocke lions only. Items obtained only through explore may be used.
● Event currency may be used to purchase decors and applicators for liolocke lions.

I begin the Liolocke with 0 submale slots and a territory size of 2.
● Because this is not a new account and my territory has already been expanded, in order to ‘expand’ my territory I will randomly gift the currency which would have been used to expand my territory and will then have access to the extra territory which I ‘purchased’.
● When I reach the point of ‘fighting’ for additional territory, this will be handled by winning a fight against an NPC lion encounter in Explore.
● Territory expansions purchased with GB will also be handled by gifting the currency randomly and then obtaining ‘access’ to the spot.
● Once I have ‘purchased’ territory up to my actual territory size, I will then proceed with expansions as per the usual game mechanics.
● Submale slots, frozen slots, and cave slots will be handled in the same fashion. Previously obtained slots will be ‘purchased’ by gifting the currency which will then enable me to use the slots.
● Once I have ‘purchased’ slots up to my actual slot count, I will then proceed with expansions as per the usual game mechanics.

I do not purchase lions nor accept gifts from other players.
● All Liolocke lions will be claimed in Explore or bred. However I am allowed to purchase Chased NCLs from others.
● I may purchase items from the monkey shop, but only if I am using currency I have earned during my Liolocke challenge.
● I may purchase applicators and decor from other players. All other items - food, toys, etc. - must be earned through Explore or purchased from the Monkey Shop.
● I will not accept gifts from other players, unless they are sent during the December event. If I am gifted, I will pay it forward to someone else.
● I will not sell my own lions and cubs. Lineage stays within my pride.
● I may sell my own items and food, but only if they were obtained during the Liolocke challenge.

All encounters in Explore will be handled realistically, and their results will be final.
● If my King is defeated in an Explore encounter, he will be slightly injured and weakened should he carry on exploring and be defeated again he will be advised from exploring for the rest of the day. (See Special Rules)
● If my King has an available submale, the submale may instead take the blow and will thus be unable to patrol the rest of the day.
● If my King is defeated by an Elephant or Rhino, this will be considered a lethal defeat. A submale must take the killing blow if available. If no submale is available, my King will be killed and the game will be over.
● I may flee battles that I know I will lose. This does not count as a defeat but as a forfeit, and therefore does not result in the death of my king or a submale.

All hunts will be handled Semi-realistically and as if their results are final.
● Lioness chances are dependent on the current king. (See Special Rules)
● If a lioness fails a hunt, she loses a chance or she gets chased/killed.
● If a lioness loses all chances they will be chased or killed.
● Scars will affect the chance for lion survival.
Neck Scars — Rolling 0 - 50 results in instantaneous death; roll 51 - 100 to survive.
Torn fur, blinded eyes — Rolling 0 - 40 results in infection, and a chance at death. Rolling 41 - 100 ensures survival.
Face, Side, Cheek, Muzzle, Beaten Up, Nose Scratch, Long/Short scars on Right/Left Eye — Rolling 0 - 20 results in infection, and a chance at death. Rolling 31 - 100 ensures survival.
Hip, Shoulder, Nose Ridge, Back Scratch, Belly Scratch, Front/Hind Leg Right/Left scars — Rolling 0 - 10 results in infection, and a chance at death. Rolling 11 - 100 ensures survival.
● Lions who get infected but survive may be forced to rest until the next rollover.
● A dice will be rolled to see if the scar gets infected — Rolling 0 - 50 results in death from infection. The lioness will then have to be killed, — Rolling 51 - 100 results in them surviving.

Births will be handled semi-realistically.
● In real life, lionesses will leave their pride to give birth and do not return until the cubs are 6-8 weeks old. To simulate this, lionesses with cubs under 3 months old will not partake in pride life and will be sequestered in a separate cave.
● RNG may decide whether cubs live or die. I will roll for every cub. (See Special Rules)
⟶ Base 50/50 chance for survival.
⟶ Increased to 60/40 chance if the mother's personality is 'Nurturing' or 'Focused'.
● If a cub dies, it must be killed or chased. It may not be gifted or sold.

Cubs and adolescents will be trained. Depending on the king, rules will change. (See Special Rules)
● I may use stat items and toys that were obtained in accordance with Liolocke rules.
● Raising the cub's survival bar will only happen if I play with them. I am only limited to the Play / Tussle / Groom options, and I cannot use toys to further boost this.
● Cubs must be trained daily (if they are of age).

Heirs must have been directly sired by my current King.
● Additionally, my King should sire all cubs in the pride. I will not use outside studs.
● Within the pride, lineage is tracked according to the mother. A King will not breed with his daughters nor with female littermates. All other lionesses in the pride are considered unrelated. However I will try to make sure the King is not breeding with any family members both immediate and non immediate family.

Up to three energy bars may be used, as long as they are at 100% full energy.
● Daily energy boost is included.
● Energy items are not allowed to be used in this challenge.



~~> The Aries ruler will not tolerate weakness if any kind, and will crack down on defeat and failure. He has little patience for second chances. Therefore the following special rules override the basic rules.
~~> This specific king can withstand up to three battle defeats per day, due to his strength and unwillingness to accept defeat.
~~> His specific rule is that he can’t flee from more than one battle a day.
~~> If a hunting party fails, all lionesses will be punished. RNG determines what happens to each individual lioness.
1-10 means death.
11-15 means being chased.
16-20 means major injury, where a lioness cannot hunt until fully healed.
~~> If a single sub male fails to succeed in bringing something back from a patrol OR he fails to train successfully a total of two times as a cub, he is chased from the pride and loses his opportunity to be king.
~~> When cubs are born, only the strongest female is allowed to remain in the pride. All other females get killed or chased. All male cubs are kept, for leadership consideration.
