So I'm going to to talk a bit about a thing that probably has annoyed us all in one point; Starter males.

As we all know the rolled lions, the first ones we get are not always very... pretty. And you need to look at it... For 12+ Lioden years unless you can use some real money/go trough some good events.

I don't mean starter males should have special bases/markings, but they could be prettier, and fix to that is quite easy;

1) Let us design the rolled lion.
3 markings max, using only those you can usually get from NCLs / or from rolled lions. Same with manes (Scarce, normal, etc). This way the starter lion doesn't look like a sack of potatoes, but it doesn't crash the markets/give unfair start.

Some good examples what you could do this way;









Nothing super unfair, but definitely better than this;



Other suggestions if above one doesn't pass:
1b) -Let users create 'rolled lions', those can appear when one rolls a new lion and has to chose one of 6 (?) designs. Same rules apply as above; max 3 markings and only those than can appear on rolled lions normally.
2) - Lock the opacity (of rolled lions) markings to 70-100%.



You can see all the possible markings from here



This suggestion has 579 supports and 9 NO supports.

Totally support. 3 markings is completely reasonable and not too much. They are still potatoes, but look at least somehow interesting - MUCH better than the current rolled ones!

Lovely suggestion! It's definitely help newbies feel more welcome and willing to stick around while not irritating older players who worked hard for their decked out Kings. Might also introduce them to the fun of customizing, too; it's not like mechanics similar to our current rolled males (pick one of 5 of these really awful NCLs to join your pride!) are common anyways, and most players spend a lot of time customizing heirs or kings or queens down the line anyways.

Good point Agryo! Giving them a slight beta-version of what you can do :P

Love it! This would be a breath of fresh air for older players too. As I breed clean-ish lines here, given the month my current queen retires, I'm going to have to reroll if I want another heritage-less stud. Being able to select three markings means being able to start out with the foundation for a design that can be worked with and enjoyable to breed while coming up with the funds for the final design, as opposed to what you get now when you reroll now - some junk you want to paint over as fast as possible.

A sample, since some other people made 'em.

Are those markings ones I'd keep on a king forever? Nah, but I wouldn't mind circulating them into my pride. Do I love that base? Nah, but it's in the same genetic group as doubloon.

It would be cool if the create-a-starter page included a link to the genetics page on the wiki, so new players could make informed choices re: bases, too.

Thank you for your support E-quagga! Indeed it should little help with heritageless-breeding, to have something to start from and give a bit faster start getting those slightly prettier bases!

Ah, yes. This is a great idea and all and my first - and current - king is an old potato, literally looks like a potato if he didn't have a mane xDDD I think it'd be awesome to have this, but then the usual NCLs would be the epitome of shitty, kinda, lol xDD

Aella, but then again they've always been shitty though, and one doesn't need to look at them for 16 lioden years xD<3

I would have LOVED to have this feature when I started out. My dude was ok, but still nowhere near as pretty as the examples. I used my Menhit reward this year to pretty him up and make his Cubs worthwhile. Literally all of his breeding I pray for them to take after NCL mommy dearest. But he did give me a melanistic boy.
