I don't know if it's possible, but I'd like to see more of the lionesses potential colours than just the shades of gold and cream. I think that the colours of lionesses could be a regional thing. For example, if you go to the marshlands, you're going to find your browns and blacks, because it's a darker area. Going to the savannah would yield the variations of gold, and the desert would hold the cream ones - all due to the environments and such. The waterhole would yield a mixture of all of them, and perhaps a where the "rarer" coats such as white and albino could be found. Along the lines of the cubs - I don't know if it's been mentioned - but I personally would like to see them carry all traits from parents. Say if the mother holds 100% darken black and the father holds 100% under white 1, the child would have ~50% of both markings (give or take some percentages depending on random chance, but in the general area of like 70ish - 30ish depending on said random chance). Even if some of the markings on the parents are not full or very visible, there should still be a level of throwback on the children. I was rather perplexed when a child from my Spotting Light (93%) & Black Gradient 1 (87%) lioness only held Spotting Light (72%). |

It would be a nice addition on top of the suggestion if each lioness had a different background relating to where they were tamed. Marshland background, desert, etc. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I like the idea for the lionesses being reginal however I'm not fond of your cub idea. It's not really that realistic. With genetics you don't always get a child that looks like the parents that much. For example both my parents are dark haired yet they had my sister who is a blond. Perhaps instead of seeing the markings and getting all the markings from their parents, they could extend the gene pool to show recessive traits that are passable to cubs. 0 players like this post!

Total support! I love how the territories would provide different variations. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Support on both! With the cubs though, perhaps there's some percentage threshhold? Such as any inheritance that would be 10% or under doesn't carry? Because those genes probably aren't going to show in the cub anyway... 0 players like this post! Like? |
