So essentially my idea consists of Submales challenging Kings for the position of King.

This was thought up specifically because I loathe my rolled King (he's dull and his coloring is far too Lion Kingy) and know a few people loathe theirs as well.

Thus! We begin.

So essentially this would be all planned around things like personality and stats and would be a randomly occurring thing that could be rare depending on the personality of your Kings and Submales.

As I said it's randomly occurring, you'd log in and be presented with a message saying your submale is challenging you with some other byline according to his personality (reason).

Eg.
Evil - Percy is sick of your frooty froo froo way of leading this Pride. He is challenging you for the crown.

When you click this it will take you to a screen similar to NPC battles. But you will have the option to talk him down (which will work) or your lionesses defend you meaning he won't win)(if you like your King it means you keep him yah). OR you could be absolutely outraged and accept the challenge leading to a battle screen. Advantage to that with higher stats (as with NPC).

The loser will first off take a stats hit.
If your submale leaves there is a chance he'd put his tail between his legs and run off either to reappear in your den at a later stage having sought forgiveness or left your pride for good.
If your King loses, he becomes a submale, he has a chance of losing his lineage, his cubs under a year could either all be killed or some random ones could be killed depending on how evil or kind the new king is. His loyal lionesses could leave or be on the brink of leaving. This means you could lose breeding stock for genetic programmes but as with lions who leave due to starvation or mood you have the ability to get them back for a small fee.

Please let me know what you think guys, if you like the idea or hate it I'd love to know why or your idea of what could make it better. It's a rough concept so any plans to redefine the edges are welcome.
