So, I was looking at my sub male today, and I was torn between him having a super smexy hairdo which we all know is the source of all egos in the animal kingdom (And human..) Or him having more room for markings... I'm sure we have all been there. Especially with lionesses who have mane markings but no mane, so it feels a tad useless.

Perhaps, there could be 2 separate marking slots on each lion, one for the mane markings, and one for general markings. The body marks would remain the same 10 slots as usual, but the mane markings would have less maybe 3-5 slots. This would be the same for lionesses who are carrying the marks as well.

This would mean we would be able to have more space to work on not only lions with stunning bods but with sexy hairdos to match!!

It would look something like this



Excuse my poor editing. (Ignore duplicate coat markings >.> Pretend its 3-5 Mane marks... )

thoughts?

"I don't think it would take much coding at all. They separated the mane and body markings in the oasis and Wardrobe in the drop down menus... Why couldn't they do something similar with in-game lions?"

"I guess I'm not the only one that doesn't want to delete other body markings just so the kings mane looks all fancy...it makes not much sense when we aim to breed females anyway"

"I also try to find studs with empty marking slots to get my girls markings onto the cubs. But those are damn hard to find. XD So, I really hope the admins will take this idea into consideration. :)"

Pros:
- No more competition between body markings and mane markings
- Mane markings would have higher demand than they currently do
- Higher demand for mane markings means:
* More customization using oasis items
* New special markings can focus on manes as well
* Lionesses searching for dreamboats could include special mane markings, thus encouraging more interest in trying to win these lionesses
- New oasis items could be introduced:
* Mane marking modifiers
- different item from a body marking modifiers
- includes:
- mane marking opacity changer
- mane marking remover
- mane marking applicator
- random mane marking applicator
- New selective pressures to pick lionesses with good mane markings as well
- More GB purchases
- New type of breeding programs
- Something new to add to the Lioden economy
- New lineart is not needed for pre-existing markings

Cons:

- Additional coding.
- Modification to current genetic inheritance
* Separation of current items from one system will take time
* Creation of a separate, complimentary system will take time
* Possible retrofitting of older lions and lionesses to fix inheritance issues
- Modification to Oasis items
* New item additions
* Reorganization of Oasis items
* New addition and reorganization of Monkey Business items
