For clarity, I am referring to this message:



This territory has lion(s) that are aging up tomorrow and you may not have enough territory to cope with them all!

I underlined a minor fix I would make, which would be fixing the grammatical(?) disconnect between "This territory" (third person perspective) and "you" (second or first person perspective, depending on interpretation). It's a bit strange and disjointed to read "you may not have enough territory" if you're, y'know, not the player whose territory the Den message is on. I would personally prefer if "you" was omitted entirely, or swapped to "they" to keep things consistent.




The second change is less of a minor ignorable annoyance and more of something I desperately crave because of the way I keep lions. I would really love to see the number of lions aging up right in the Den message so I don't have to do a whole lot of counting after I chase a few adolescents away to have space. I know the number shows up on the Daily Rollover Summary, but it can be rather inconsistent - sometimes it doesn't tell me the number of adolescents I have aging up at all, so it's a bit of a surprise for me to find the message on my Den page that I don't have space. Plus, it doesn't give updated information after I clear a bit of space, so I have to count the remaining ones and subtract that from the number of territory spaces I have.

A distinction between male and female lions would be especially amazing. Currently what I do each day is go through my chase cave and chase all newly aged adult lionesses into the NCL pool as well as chase off unwanted male adolescents who are 1y 11mo. Sometimes I'll get confused when the message doesn't go away because there happens to be a male adolescent aging up in another cave that I forgot about. It'd make things a lot easier if the Den message was constructed somewhat like this:

This territory has [x] lionesses and [x] male lion(s) that are aging up tomorrow and may not have enough territory to cope with them all!

(The bold part would not show up if there aren't any male lions aging the next rollover, to avoid unnecessary clutter.)

For the grammar, to me the original one makes more sense. As the king you are the one that has the territory, not your lions, so to me them saying "you may not have enough territory to cope with them all!" makes much more sense than "they may not have enough territory to cope with them all!" I kinda get what your saying, but just from my point of view it makes more sense the 1st way.

but I agree with the second part!

I understand that! I don't usually have the message on my own territory (or I don't pay much attention to it), so I mostly see it on other players territories. So that's why that part reads a bit odd to me. ^^

Ah, nope, haha. The one in the Den is what I meant. :3 I don't remember the wording they use in the rollover summary, but it would definitely make sense to use you/your there!

Maybe I'll add a screenshot of the message in the post when I get time, for further clarity. Just gotta accumulate enough lions to make it appear for me lol.

I am neutral to whole message being rewritten, but knowing how many there is that are aging up would be useful quick and easy info to see (we can sorta see that in overview and esp if you search whole page for "1 year, 11 months old" but still.... not really the best to get that info)

I would like if it was rewritten lol, that's been bugging me, but I'd like a link or something so I can see exactly who's aging up so I can decide if I want to keep them or not.
