Suggestion for pregnancy

Post by tussock »

I really misses a thing on the mare's pages saying how far away they are from giving birth. I don't know how many months the game go from turn to turn but It would be nice to know when the foal is to be born. Something like "5/12 months" or something like that.

Gestation is a range of time, from 10 to 13 months, or 20 to 26 turns.

For me I just estimate that they'll drop foal at 11 months and write a note on their page. Like if I breed a mare at age 13 years and 6 months, then she'll drop the foal around 14 years and 5 months.

i agree, it would be nice to see know how many months a mare has been pregnant. as I think it's something most people, myself included... already try to keep track of on notes and such, either outside of the game or on their profiles.

Just looking at the mare is a fairly accurate guide to how long she's been pregnant.

Perhaps if you've been playing for awhile.

That being said, I wouldn't mind some sort of note on a pregnant mare's page that says, roughly, how long is left. I.e:

Your mare is expecting a foal by (stallion) in x months by.

Once it ticks over past 11 months (I think it is?), the message can switch to: Your mare is expecting a foal by (stallion) any day now.

No, only if you're paying attention. If the mare is really freaking huge, she's probably due to foal. If not, give it a few more turns.

I guess we have different ideas of "Really freaking huge".

A future feature will allow you to do an ultra sound to see how far along the mare is.
