So, as folks who are into stat breeding might know, there is a distinct difference between Cub Training and Adolescent Training, even though these two activities share the same Training Bar. The current layout of the Training Bar makes this distinction a bit unclear. Because Cub Training and Adolescent Training share the same Training Bar, one might be lead to think that they serve the same purpose and are interchangeable.

That is, a player might be lead to believe that even if they didn't train their heir as a cub, that heir will still receive the same sizable stat bonus if they manage to hit 100% on the Training Bar by supercharging through Adolescent Training.

This isn't the case. If you don't get a sizable amount of Cub Training experience, even reaching 100% of the bar through Adolescent Training will only net you a few stats, and for all that effort!

I'd also like to note that this isn't on the wiki. I've combed it. I think it should probably be noted on there somewhere.

I'm not suggesting that we change the fact that you need both Cub Training and Adolescent Training to receive your sizable stat boost prize for training.

I am, however, suggesting that there be a visible and obvious distinction between the progress bars for these activities. I'm not into UI design myself, but I'm talking about something like this:

Option A: Two Bars

In this option, there are two separate bars: one for Cub Training and one for Adolescent Training. This option would require a reworking of the percent gained per Cub Training (and probably Adolescent Training) attempt. Perhaps each day, you would have an 80% chance to get 10% Cub Training? I'm just throwing numbers out here, but you get the idea. When the cub turns one year old, all further training (hunting for females and patrolling for males) is applied to the Adolescent Training bar.

Option B: One Bar

In this option, there is one split bar that contains Cub Training and Adolescent Training. This would still require a reworking of the percent of training experience gained per successful Cub Training session, but there's just one bar to consider. When the cub turns one year old, any remaining sliver of the Cub Training bar would remain white. All further (green) progress on the bar would be applied to the Adolescent Training portion of the bar.
