Lion rework

[night mural]

To begin the male lions should get a rework that would enable some type of physical change with the lions difficulty levels for example a 9 legendary lion would have a fuller and darker mane than a 5 medium a 5 medium would appear like a young male lion

BEHAVIOR :

It would give an appearance like the male lions are aging through respawns this would add more depth to the lions and 9 legendary lions would be more aggressive and would ward off smaller male lions like level 7 and below a 9 legendary would make an 8 mythical alert rather than flee like level 7 and below this could also have chance encounters like 9 legendary and 8 mythicals fighting over a drink or eating zone

New trophy mounts could show fights,coalitions , or just two or three brothers that are resting or playing

Trophy mount 1 this one would be called brotherly love

this would display male lions resting playing or showing affection towards one another adding more depth into the animal within the game

Trophy mount 2 : eternal combat

this trophy mount will display Two or three male lions in ritual combat that every male lion will go through these will display lions standing and grappling or taking the fight to the ground and grappling or one male getting jumped by two other males

Trophy mount 3: band of brothers
would consist of 3-5 male lions that would display brotherly behavior or hunting behavior with one resembling lions calling to each other

One more behavior: lions should be able to be seen in prides or coalitions walking around the savanna or hunting or fighting with other lion groups this would open a door for lion prides to roam an area like how tigers have a home range lions would be able to have home ranges with male lions to have several overlapping home ranges due to male lions having multiple female prides and places without home ranges aka dead zones would typical have lone young male lions

I love the ideas for making more authentic trophies and behavior and interactions, I love the multi-mounts and their names

Definitely has my vote

Upvote to prioritize the new African map next.

I think this would be a much-appreciated overhaul

[night mural]

Lion calls should have more depth to it cause they all spun the same say for example if a 9 legendary calls it should be deeper and traveled farther than a 5 medium and it should be able to scare other animals out the area and the calls should have different tones and pitches and patterns

[rugged fulcrum]

I reckon the best way to treat lion vocalisation is similar to how Grey wolves are, that being, they should have a territorial roar that they do mostly at night and dawn/dusk similar to how the wolves howl. Lion should make sound when they attack but not much sound when they spook or are alarmed. I think this would make them more challenging to hunt and more realistic and true to life at the same time

Like this for a territorial call for a distant, non-trackable call

And something like this for when they're startled and turn aggressive

Also a great one lion if added could have a more pronounced mane with the male stretching all the way to the belly and visible battle scarring on the face and possibly the body depending on the variation you get and with on very rare variation the MR T variant comes from a very popular lion named mr t because of his Mane that looks like the human mr t Mohawk also another variant would be a lions tooth would be visibly damaged making the great one lion much more aggressive than a regular lion

If hyenas are added a new trophy mount that could be added is 1 male lion and 1 hyena this will display a lion chasing a hyena or killing the hyena this could be called -the eternal war

Give the lions a modern fluffy fur... right now it look greasy.

[night mural]

I agree the lions fur they look old and outdated

[warped lagoon]

Minor detail that could be cool with the rework, make at least each fur type have a unique nose pattern as irl individuals do not have the exact same color or pattern on their nose!

I’d like different variation too with skin types too and according to levels like higher level lions would have more battle scarring while lower levels would have little to no scarring with smaller manes
