I really like this concept! I was a bit skeptical at first because having multiple males being able to breed in a pride is a bit OP, but I think your ideas for balancing it are good! I especially like being able to use them for reverse breeding.

I have some suggestions, if you'd like:

I think to help flesh out the ranking system, its default state could be based on stats! The submale with the highest total stats automatically becomes the highest ranking submale when it ages up.

The breeding cooldown length could depend on rank, too. The minimum cooldown could be 10 days and the cooldown of every rank below increases by 5 days. That would help balance the breeding ability of super huge prides - if they have 10 submales that are all capable of breeding, the lowest ranking male capable of breeding would have a cooldown of 55 days! Meaning he could only breed about 3 times in his whole life if kept at that rank.

I also think that maybe there should be a cap on how much you can adjust the rankings using SB. Like if you move your submales' rankings around more than 3 times a month or something you have to start paying in GB. You can "cheat" around this by adjusting your submales' stats with items, but that's expensive too This would further nerf big prides with lots of breeding submale slots because it would force them to constantly spend GB or stat items to get full use of all their males.

And the submales tab on the pride page could be adjusted slightly so it lists them in order from highest to lowest rank, maybe with numbers or some other short notation to make this order clear.

Thanks for the suggestion! Your suggestions are great!

No support, nor do staff support it or will implement it as mentioned by staff members as the site isn’t set up code wise to support sub breeding.
