This is sorta just my playthrough of a personal challenge.
Started with two breeding pairs. Made two packs (named after gem colors so creative ik) and started them in different directions. Since I started in the spring season I was looking for nests.
After a while I eventually found two nests, so I rolled to see how many pups each pair got. I can't entirely remember but I know two of the orange pack pups died to blue birds leaving only one female pup surviving. Similarly in the green pack there were only two male pups, one of which died to a bearyna.
I sorta just went through the seasons for a while, not much happening till winter. Around summer/fall the orange pack accepted a blind loner into their pack, who ended up mostly pupsitting (Though by now 2F the orange pack's only pup was at the teen stage.) The pack encountered another loner, however she did not join their pack. After that the pack began moving around seeking out a new territory due to killer bearyna presence.
The lone female continued to move towards the green pack territory. She was chased out.
Near the start of winter, the female had been hanging around the green pack territory upper border. She had managed a couple solo bearyna kills and was doing very well. When the mating season began she started moving into the green pack's territory.
Now came a confrontation. While Green1F and Green1M (green pack current alphas) had already mated, the lone female was very interested in the pack. She ended up managing to join and quickly rose through the ranks before winning a fight with Green1F. After that she mated with Green1M and I decided to name her Green2F. She had secured an alpha position.
2F continued to be highly aggressive to 1F, taking one of the better nests and forcing her out to the edges. Around now the orange pack had found a nest and their mating season had gone much more smoothly, Orange1M showing no interest in mating with the blind female.
Around the start of spring I rolled for pup litter amounts. For the orange pack I got only two pups, one of which was an albino male and the other a dark red female like her older sister Orange2F. The blind female quickly took on the brunt of the work raising and watching Orange1F's pups, since the female preferred to hunt.
I decided to pool the roll for the green pack's litters unless I got a very low amount (1-2) and rolled a six. 2F had four pups (Three males, one female, one male was albino) while 1F had two male pups. The pack was driving out many loners from their territory along with bearynas.
After killing a killer bearyna, some of the older pack members were wounded so less food was coming in, prompting 2F to attempt an attack on 1F's pups. 1F proved herself as a worthy defender, driving out 2F. (thank god my roll was lucky... i like 1F lol)
Other than that I've reached summertime and all of the new pups are at teen stage. The yearlings haven't grown to the adult stage just yet.
Will update once I play more? Idk lol
