Starting in 2023 and with my next lead wolf?
Hard mode project
Rules: Heritageless lead and mate and pack.
Maximum 2 wolf hunting parties. Extra hunting parties if successful, food is sold.
Maximum 1 scout unless training apprentice. Extra toys are sold.
Maximum 3 pupsitters.
No nesting except for lead if female.
Lethal illness=wolf death
Non-lethal= can cure on its own or healer can cure it.
Contagious illnesses= wolf has to be killed.
Inspired by Wolvlocke/Hardmode variations:

Inspired by AngryTiger's Impossible Mode
Rules may be tweaked for my cave version.
Arduous Challenge aka Impossible mode:
1:All starting wolves/future additions to the pack must be the very first NBW you come across, exceptions are if first befriending fails. Pups bred from previous hard mode wolves exempt.
2:Scouts- For cave version: 2 scouts allowed. Items brought back from scouts will be the sole source of amusement for all wolves in the participating cave/den. Only the items collected from the first rescouting of each day may be counted, all others collected from subsequent rescouts to be discarded or used for the non participating pack members.
3:Herbalist/Sickness- For cave version herbalist allowed Wolves must be chased if the sickness is lethal or job prohibiting. Quarantining wolves with uncurable contagious illnesses is allowed.
4:Hunting- Hunting is the sole source of food for the pack/cave pack members. Maximum 2 hunting parties. If hunt fails, random number generator to replace one wolf.
5:Breeding~Mother's are not allowed to be nested at any point. Maximum of two pups are allowed to be kept, any others to be chased the day of birth. (Exception if one of those pups are chosen as the next pack leader)
6:Pup raising- No pups are to be protected by pupsitters. Only eligible way to boost survival is full mood and hunger. Pup training and adolescent apprenticeship is not permitted.
No outside assets or resources are allowed for the current pack members participating. I.E items collected by lead wolf, items bought, gifted, or traded. Including items already owned prior to start of this game mode. (Examples: elk hearts, personality changers, etc.)
7:Any wolf who runs cannot be reclaimed and must be replaced with a new wolf.

Testing easier version of Hard Mode
Will try the true Hard Mode if I reroll a starter wolf and in that case I might be doing the impossible mode and Hard mode at the same time.
Easier Hard Mode version.
Only Hard Mode cave wolves participating. The other wolves provide for the whole pack if necessary.
Alpha pair: Arathorn and Ceylon.

Easier Hard Mode cave version
Need to restart again another time as a brief hiatus during most of September. (Lost quite a few of my favourite wolves).
(Next lead Gen 1  or 2 will be a true Hard Mode (Cave(?) version)
Alpha pair: Arathorn and Ceylon.
Arathorn's coat changed to Tempest during the Cataclysm event. He's currently still level 9.
