Drafts

Post by MerrySmile »

are there any users that are working on breeding all draft breeds? I really want to get into them but can't get them. I've offered to pay 200,000 plus to buy a mare of many different breeds but no one seems willing. What should i be doing to get some?

I am just waiting to see what you do with the horses i sold you, before i offer more horses.. just seeing what kind of breeder you are.

I wouldnt focus on all Draft breeds at the same time. What i do is breed a draft breed from scratch, see what they are good at, then focus on improving them for competitions. Store the best one on a side account and make money with them while i start breeding the next breed.

For example, start with making GREAT Ardennais, when you have a great one stored that can win some competitions, you can use it to make a Belgian Ardennais, improve them and store them and then start on Dutch draft..

Just my idea.
If you breed them yourself from scratch, you have your own bloodline and that makes them more valuable.

What do you think?

That's probably a great idea. My goal is just to get the numbers up and get more people interested in them.

Why dont you start with some adoption center belgians and improve them with selective breeding and start competing them? The reason most of the horse breeds in game have low populations is because most people don't want to develop their own lines they want to use what's available.

would using a adoption center horse be close to doing my own line? I've tried creating breeds before but get so confused or can't get the cross breeds.
