I support, all i find are cream coloured, I would like to be able to get some others

Support,
lions have different sub species that have created there own adaptation so that they can survive in there region, so I think it would be neat to add that to this game, where you can find certain coat colors within certain areas (thank you animal planet for when you were actually informative)

I like the idea of regional lionesses, but at the same time I think it's best for the site if custom-only STAY custom-only. So perhaps if only the current common colors and markings were spread between the different explore areas? This way GB sales will not drop, but it would still add an interesting new feature.
For your second idea, I think that the current genetics seem somewhat more realistic, but could hold it's realistic sense even with some tweaking-if it would improve the site to do so.

Support on first idea.
For the cub thing, I think the lion and the lionesses pages should show if they carry recessive genes. This way it isn't going to be out of the blue and we can enjoy breeding for traits a little more. Also, custom markings and colors should be passable, but the chance should be VERY low. That way it'll encourage people to buy them but still allow customs to be realistically breed able. In this way, custom children will have a higher chance of taking the non custom parents genes. It would have an element of luck with custom breeding and personally I'd really like that.

Support, although I agree that custom colors should stay custom colors.

Support for the first idea. But cubs show all their parent's markings wouldn't be very realistic.

Support the first idea, but not so sure about the 2nd...

And as far as they need to make money, I understand that but have played TONS of games where something is available to everyone but they still make money. How? First of all, there's still the rush the hunt. 2nd keep them rare. Plus people will always want the 'purr-fect' lion, one with all colors and markings what they want. So putting them in an area doesn't necessarily kill people buying things.

I support. And would also love the regional suggestion. Very much so!

Support the first idea - I think that's great.

w/ regards the second... the only thing about markings inheritance I would change is the steady-decrease of percentages. At the moment, if only one parent has a marking then any cubs will have a lower percentage than the original. However in real life babies that have inherited a pattern gene from a single parent can sometimes display it *more* than the parent does. I think it would be more realistic if there was a 50% chance to inherit the pattern, which would then be +/- 20% on the 'display' percentage number.

To try and make that clearer I'll give an example. Say Lion A has Spotting Light 60%, and Lioness B has White Belly 40%. You may get the following:

Cub C - Spotting Light (40% - 80%), White Belly (20% - 60%)
Cub D - Spotting Light (40% - 80%)
Cub E - White Belly (20% - 60%)
Cub F - No markings

Markings are still being inherited from the parents, and still the possibility of getting both, one, or none - but the percentage that comes with the marking can be above that of the parent as well as below it.

Edit to add: This just makes slightly more sense to me than ending up with cubs that have markings at sub 10%, because while the lioness has a greater than 60% marking the lion has none. How well a marking displays is normally similar to how well it displays on the parent inherited from (sometimes 'louder' sometimes more muted). You don't see in RL examples of mating a patterned animal to a non patterned one producing much more muted patterns as consistently as it does here. A good one to note is the Lp gene in horses - Appaloosa only produces spots with one copy of the gene, yet a horse that is spotty all over mated to a plain one has just as much chance of producing a foal that is spotty all over as it does a plain one, or indeed one with only a blanket of spots.
