    @mhiahia What's your king's name? I have a bad memory too xD

    Sorry, we had no internet connection for like half a day. My king is called Candis, my player name is Tazme.

    I used 5 GB to change my stud's mane to crested. I don't have enough space to have any more pregnant girls (tomorrow a bunch will give birth and I can replace them), so feel free to send stud requests my way, you'll get a friend discount ^^

    Great, thank you so much! Which one is your account again? (I am bad with names, sorry)

  3. The whole cub breeding thing is making me so anxoius. I have only 4/20 so far and I have about eight lionesses with pending stud requests, some of which I sent two days ago. I know that people are overwhelmed by the demand and that studding uses a lot of energy but I am still scared of being unable to complete the challenge because I don't have enough SB to pay more studs or they just don't respond...

    it kind of baffles me that people are doing all of this for a different mane mutation, which have never been the most popular thing anyway

    it might just be that people like a challenge, or just because people honestly really like the mutation? i dunno, it just doesnt appeal to me overall

    then again, im neutral towards a lot of things people obsess over in Lioden, like all that drama around Rumble...

    To be honest I just do it because I want to have the satisfaction of completing it. Although the whole cubs thing is giving me anxiety.

  5. So technically I could beat the breeding part of the challenge in the next two days because I will have 22 cubs born. But I am pretty sure that I will have horrible luck so I will have to do some more claiming today.

    i did it boys

    i got a Tigon, for only 180 GB, leaving me with 40 left

    her name is Rhea, named after the consort of Cronus, the Greek god of harvest

    i just feel like naming any Tigons i get after some sort of mythology-

    she's 9 years and 8 months old, so she has plenty of time to give me more Tigons

    she even has the Nuumite base, which is a special one

    needless to say-i love her to death

    her Tigon daughters will probably be Hestia, Hera and possibly Persephone? that ones kinda iffy- (if i remember the Greek family tree right, im a bit rusty)

    Such a pretty girl! Congrats!

  7. Just now, Clover said:

    i have room in case they grow up, since i just chased a bunch of lions

    Awesome, thanks! What's your member ID/name?

  8. Could anyone here take two of my adolescents in really quick? I want to apply for the Hard Mode Clan and for that you aren't allowed to have any lions with lineage. After they've accepted me I'll take them back again (I like them too much to chase them even though they aren't pretty)

    I have 17 cubs being born in 2 days. I just bred with every NCL I had (luckily I already had a ton of them from before the challenge started that were in heat). 9 NCL moms, plus one nice chased lioness that I found a nice stud for (Crested mane + an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. name. I got a full refund just because I put a AoS reference in the stud request message xD).

    And on top of that, I've defeated 47 lions so far—23% done!

    Right now I am on 69 defeated lions (ate a red bull so I should have plenty of energy for more fighting) and once the rollover has happened my first litter of cubs (9 in total, I think) will be born. Then I'm going to chase off the mothers and claim lots and lots of more NCLs.

    i keep finding chased lionesses that are literally just plain NCLs that people claimed, then chased

    its really annoying, thats why i either kill or reserve NCLs when i claim then for a quest

    Honestly, I have never ever gotten an actually good NCL, except for like four ones with special bases that still look kind of plain. Also V'kai keeps on giving me absolute garbage groupies.

    Good luck with that, i've already given up on it :')

    i'll probably just buy a lioness with the Dorsal Fur mutation once the event is over

    I'll update you guys how it goes. Tomorrow the first batch of cubs will be born, so I am hoping for some good luck from the mane gods.

  12. I'm currently grinding so I can complete the new challenge...But I feel so bad whenever I chase off a lioness. Also, breeding these twenty cubs is going to be haaard already on its own.

  13. Ok, but can we talk for a sec about the male groupie that just joined my pride, because-

    Look at him! He's so precious! Too bad I already have a submale and he'll have to leave once he grows up (just like my king's son that I've grown irrationally attached to).

  14. Bred this girl with a primal stud because I was hoping for primal babies and now the ultrasoung bat told me that she is only carrying one...WHY

  15. I used to have an account that I just visited after being absent for...idk..a few months? The game grew kinda boring because I didn't invest real-life money and have absolutely no clue how to start actually making money (yknow, by selling cubs with nice genes) so yeeah. I took care of my tribe but I really have no idea how to go on. Maybe some of you guys can help me? You all seem like experts.

    Anyway, this is my tribe: https://www.lioden.com/territory.php

    @Clover

    You can choose what male you would like to breed Zoxxi with. (if you want to do this anymore, if not, just say so and i'll take zoxxi off)

    @mhiahia

    Please choose what to do with the cubs. (if you don't want to choose, i'll just send them to the adoption center!)

    also please tell me if you want to breed Elsi again at all. (cubs would probably be grown by now!)

    Sorry that it took me so long to answer, I kinda forgot about this. I'll send the cubs to the adoption center and I'm considering to breed Elsi with Waspnet, if his owner agrees.

    I'm never sure what to peg them as. You can travel the whole world, yet never meet another tribe besides Adam's. If they are that social, living alone as wanderers would not be that common. And yet, you see two highly developed ways of living...

    "How can that be one species?!" Is the semi-official title for Niche, after all, haha. 

    For intelligence, nichelings don't use tools or even interact with the enviroment very deeply, usually. But the rogue male has a way of being "eh, good enough for me", anyway. I'm not sure how he does it, but I much prefer them with more consent than as ... male ducks on steroids. "He's here, he's an option and probably can't suck that badly for (insert probably reason)" has way fewer plotholes than them being Just Evil, yeah.

    Yeah, the whole "no other tribes"-thing is very weird. Maybe an option could be that they are very versatile, kind of like an extreme version of humans (we can live in very complicated social structures and at the same time some people are perfectly content with being alone/in small groups). Maybe the tribes we play as automatically try to avoid others? These other tribes could have a similar thing to Adam's when it comes to immunity, so only tribes/nichelings with the same immunity or lone wanderers would be accepted in?

    And I'm scrambling to find consent instead of the whole...Evil Bad Word.

    Hmm. I don't understand why a tribe-nicheling would find intelligence so attractive, though. We don't know how they operate. Or show off. How could they make best use of it?

    I don't think they necessarily understand intelligence, but I imagine a female nicheling would certainly note that the rogue male has survived despite his physical limitations, therefore indicating capability of surviving, which would then be passed on to the offspring. Another part playing into this could be the factor of breeding outside the tribe, which would widen the range of genes and in real-life would also be healthier.

    More important in the plot at large:

    1. Why not wild females?

    2. Blinded tribe nichelings are strangely limited. Are there hidden degrees? Surviving wanderers just very intelligent?

    3. The hive mind. They would rather starve to death than break the food-pile rule. That's probably the largest cue we have to their general behaviour. Nichelings will also mate with everything in sight ... though that is necessary by gameplay, so I'm not sure how to treat that aspect.

    It's probably worth noting that pregnancy doesn't limit females in any way. And they can reproduce very often. So, they don't actually have much reason to turn the rogue down. Finding a mate from your tribe is probably harder if they "smell wrong", or have some reaction to immunity.

    In real-life, there would certainly be some children between wanderers and rogues, but they would have very bad chances for survival. There is also certainly a very high selection of wanderers - I doubt they have a very high life expectancy, since certain ones even go so far as to drown themselves in order to get food.

    As for the general behaviour, I think that Nichelings are in general highly social animals. The tribe system must raise their chance of survival significantly. As with other animals with similar social systems, the advantages of working together are probably the following: Instead of wandering tribe nichelings can set up a camp which grants safety from predators, food can be stored and more easily foraged, predators are less likely to kill you, hunting and defending is easier when you have backup, tasks like taking care of your young can be taken care of by multiple individuals, etc.

    A nicheling will most likely not take care of its offspring on its own. Instead, the tribe will help take care of the cubs (real-life examples are rats, who raise their babies together).  Now, if nichelings have an understanding of who they've mated with, females would be better of if they mate with multiple males (maybe even fake mating) so that these males would then have an interest in providing for the baby. Thus, mating with a rogue male wouldn't be a mistake and instead more of a gamble - the resulting cub might be more cunning/smart which would lead to your genes being passed on.

    This, of course, only fits nichelings living in this particular social system, since they are also capable of mating for life and raising cubs as pairs.

  19. We all know how rogue males work in-game. But what if we try and look at them in a more realistic way instead of a game mechanic?

    Rogue Males should objectively not exist. A tribe animal with the exact same set of genes would be unable to feed itself and quickly starve to death- so how come that rogue males are capable of surviving on their own?

    Yes, some of them are strong enough to hunt, but their lifespan doesn't differ from those that can't. This also brings up another question: Rogue males are never targeted by bearyenas or other predators. Despite being on their own, they have no problem with evading a premature death.

    In fact, rogue males are quite possibly extremely well-fed, since they spend most of their time in the search of potential mates.

    So what is the survival tactic the rogue males use? What allows them to flourish in such a dangerous environment?

    Easy - it is intelligence. Not only have they found a way to secure a constant food reserve, they can apparently evade predators altogether. This would also explain how they are so succesful when it comes to females - they are simply a good match because of their over-average intelligence.

    How is this intelligence formed?

    Two traits that all rogue males share are the crippled paws and the derp snout. As many have already mentioned, the derp snout gene is simply a disfigurement of other snouts - possibly generated by a mutation. This mutated gene could maybe lead to a bigger, better brain. The crippled paws could possibly also have an impact on intelligence, and I believe that rogue males have better fine motor skills than the average nicheling.
