I thought of something that might be cool for people to come across during their exploring travels.

This would happen either as an event in explore or a random chance for a NCL to be claimed with this status.

The event (if found in explore) would say something like this-
"While exploring, you come across a lioness trying to hide herself next to an outcropping of rocks. You catch a whiff of something you weren't expecting... is this lioness pregnant??"

Options are-
1- "Approach cautiously"
2-"Roar"
3-"Start a fight"

If you chose-
1-
50% chance of: The lioness smells of fear but still growls and swipes at you harshly as you approach. You tough through the pain of her claws and gently ask if she would like to nest in your territory so you can protect her better than a few measly rocks can. She doesn't believe you at first, but you are persistent and eventually convince her to come home with you. (+8 karma, random scar chance)
50% chance of: The lioness recedes, pressing her back against the rocks. No matter what you say or do, she only seems to get more frightened. For her well-being, you decide to move on. (+1 karma)

2- Fear flashes across her eyes, she bolts from the cave as fast as her legs can carry her and her heavy belly, leaving behind a small stash of food (acquire food bundle, -1 karma)

3- (Initiate fight with pregnant lioness, -8 karma)


Once the lioness is in your territory, you will have an unnested pregnant female.
She will always have 1 cub.
Now something cool about this would be that I'm thinking the father could have been anyone! (A random, non-existing lion, not someone's king) So the cub could have randomized markings, base, eyes and even mutations potentially. Perhaps even a higher chance for a mutation due to the stress of her having to be by herself for the first bit of her pregnancy (as if a CRB had been used).

Either way it'd be really fun to have a random cub you'd 'rescued' become part of your clan!

Let me know what you think :)

What do you mean by 'the father could have been anyone'?

Like, a random NPC? Or somebody's King? If the latter, I wouldn't be too keen to press support.

@Snufkin no it'd be a completely random lion. No one's king. The lion doesn't actually exist it's just used as a reason to have randomized markings, base, eyes and so on.

In that case, I don't see why not!

No support. We have enough cubs floating around the market as is, and Xylax has already rejected the suggestion of getting a cub from explore, and this is in essence the same thing. Plus, a lot of people don't keep NCLs for longer than their cooldown, as many of them are very plain and have extremely common bases, markings, etc. I will stand by my no support, due to Xylax having already pre-rejected the suggestion of getting cubs from explore as per this thread: https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429209168

This isn't getting cubs from explore, this is getting a pregnant, crbd lioness from explore. That's much different, and gives an attachment to the NCL that otherwise wouldn't have a reason to not be chased. The cub would most likely be a dud, but there's a chance it could have a marking or two you like.

Still. Since the lioness is pregnant you are getting a cub from explore in a different roundabout way. You are still getting a cub from explore, even if you aren't getting the cub directly from explore, you are getting it from the lioness that you got from explore. Also, this being implemented would serve as a cheater's way of getting clean-lined cubs without having to put the effort in to specifically work to clean breed. You have no guarantee that the NCL would eve be pretty, and since you've got no idea as to what the father is, its basically a random chance and the cub would just become fodder, or another cheap cub being thrown into the mix of cubs at the tree that people already don't want.

The short: No matter HOW you spin it, this is STILL getting a cub from explore, which has already been pre-rejected by Xylax as I have already stated.

Wait I'm sorry how does this make it easier for clean lined lions? This isn't gonna effect anything not like the cub is going to have every desired trait ever! Only one or two decent but common markings to make it less of a potato If that's the case then ncls shouldn't be a thing cause it makes getting clean lined lions easier... I mean how else are we supposed to get them? Most people get clean lined lions starting from ugly ncls and work up having one cub won't change that it won't be so extraordinary from birth or anything so I really see no meat in that argument.

I support!

I do like the idea, but I think making the cub randomized should be limited to some things. I.e. no RMA/App exclusive marks or bases, and probably no raffle bases either. Simply to keep them rare as intended. However, perhaps there’s a higher chance of NCL-exclusive marks and combo bases instead?

This is basically getting cubs from explore, as I've stated before. Getting cubs from explore has already been pre-rejected by Xylax, so I have doubts this will ever get anywhere. As for getting lionesses other than those common based cream NCLs, there are chased lionesses so you do have a chance to get a non-cream based lioness. And it would be easier for clean-lined breeders since the user wouldn't have to spend the currency to specifically breed for clean lined, and it would basically give people a FREE clean-lined cub.

Either way, I still stand that no matter what this is simply getting a cub from explore in just a roundabout way that tries to get around the already rejected suggestion of being able to get cubs from explore. Just because this doesn't explicitly state "oh this is a way to get a cub from explore!" doesn't mean that its not that type of suggestion. You get a pregnant lioness. A FREE pregnant lioness is at the very BASIS getting a FREE cub from Explore, which as I've said is ALREADY pre-rejected by Xylax!
