Adol and Pup Training

Posted 2020-11-03 11:38:33

I really like Keld’s suggestions and have something to add and expand upon!

Adols could help with pup sitting! Think about it: in wild packs even the older juveniles help take care of the younger pups, either by play or other means. Instead of an adol taking up a full pupsitter role (you know, balancing reasons so that the pupsitter role doesn’t become obsolete) they could assist an adult pupsitter, adding on an additional 5-10% protection to one or two pups.

it really is a shame that adols have energy bars but no means to use it or to gain any sort of training or experience, because that’s a huge loss for the stat hunting part of the community.

Support, especially with the add ons from other commenters. I'd love to give some adols a boost so when they take over they have at least an ounce of an idea of what is going on. I mean, when you start a new job you get training typically, you aren't just tossed into it. These wolves need a training period too, and makes the change to the next generation in a pack a bit smoother/easier.

Pups should at least be able to be trained by their pupsitters, or played with by pupsitters. Perhaps having a pupsitter with certain stats and telling it once a day to play with the puppies" could give you a chance of increasing the best stats that sitter has on the puppies (not sure if that is worded well) for example. if your sitter's best stat is Strength and you give it a group of puppies, maybe through playing with the puppy that sitter could train up the stats for strength.

As for adolescents, they most certainly need to start having jobs or at least job shadowing options.

Support! I think as another 'negative' to add would be happiness decrease, making you use more toys. Because adols would get bored with so much work

Support! I definitely think the adols could contribute more. Especially since they already have the energy bar implemented.

Support this a LOT. Love the idea of an apprenticeship system. I do like how different Wolvden is from Lioden and I don't want to see them become too similar, but this is one of the few mechanics from Lioden I really miss, and would LOVE to see how it could be tailored to pack life! Also getting very bored with my adols since I don't have to protect them anymore, but they also can't stat gain OR help out which is a bummer.

Support! All the ideas for having adolescents going around with the adults on their jobs are great.

Support! Right now puppies and adols are completely useless and just take up den space

Love this, was just thinking of this today as my pups just turned to adolescents and I want to be able to do stuff with them but they are still just sitting around! I also feel like it would help smaller packs and newer players get higher stat wolves faster, without having to buy/trade for them or waiting for their own wolves to level up before breeding new pups. 
I like the idea of an apprenticeship or training. I was thinking a new "Trainer/Teacher" role could be added, where the teacher could train a pup on any one stat per day or for a certain amount of energy. But an apprenticeship may be more balanced and works better lore wise.
