Markings 'Mutating' Into Bases

Markings 'Mutating' Into Bases
Posted 2021-04-13 08:33:50 (edited)

Basically, the idea behind this is that if both parents have several markings of a certain color, it can 'mutate' and become the base of one of their pups. For example, let's say we have 2 wolves with 3-5 Silver marks each, but they both have bases that couldn't produce Silver. We breed them together and get a Silver pup! The theory is that the silver markings are enough that they spread over the entire coat of the pup, giving them a Silver base. This could go for all marking colors- from White and Beige to Doubloon and Selene! Why I though this might be a good idea is that it can help players get bases they otherwise couldn't breed wthout buying new wolves. If you have a gameplay style where you try not to buy wolves and rely on NBWs, it'll be much easier to get certain bases once you can befriend special NBWs.

I'd support this if a very high number of markings was involved, otherwise base changers kind of become obsolete. If it was, say, 6-8 markings or so, I could see it being a nice way to reward a player because it's hard to get! But I feel like it's probably not very hard to find a stud with 2-3 markings of a certain type (and it will get progressively easier as more players join). Maybe someone else can weigh in on this but it seems like it's a touch too easy with that number of markings.

Thanks for the feedback, it makes a lot of sense! I feel like 6-8 marking is much too high though, I'll change it to maybe 3-5 :3
