Re: Colour genetics
That isn't available yet. As in, the option to have it tested hasn't yet been added to the game.Tigerlillie wrote:How can I find out my horses colour genetics?
There are ways you can learn about them.
Once you understand the genetics your horse has, you will be able to figure out what your horse passes on.
These topics will offer some further insight.
This one offers what the AC horses have (with very little exception, the replies discuss the differences found): http://www.horseworldonline.net/forum/v ... =13&t=2653
This one is extensive and comprehensive, I only recommend it after you have a basic handle on the colors on the game: http://www.horseworldonline.net/forum/v ... =13&t=2158
If you have a basic handle on genes, but just are stuck on your horse's potential genes, the community can offer further insight into what we think your horse likely has.

Thank you for all this info! Do you know if there will be a genetics test coming to the game?

I think the last we heard is that they're (our admins) are not too sure how and what. There's the option to add whatever testing they want, regardless of whether in real life we can test for it today or not. So will they add tests for what we (in real life) cannot test for? Should they? How many genes should a single test cover? How much should the test be? How and where would/should it be displayed? These are the questions under debate. Until there are answers to them, we'll have to wait for the release. Not only that, there may be much back-end programming that will need to take place, after the questions are answered.
So it will come to us, one day, in a format that's unknown to the HWO community (or at least to me
