Gender effecting height

Post by ADownCenterline »

I've noticed that gender effects height immensely. It's really offputting when I'm aiming for a certain breed and I have really short mares, and crossing them with super tall stallions will still get me a super short filly. I bred a 14.1 mare to a 17hh stallion and the resulting filly failed her eval for height suggesting she'd still be under 15hh. That's happened multiple times and it's just not that realistic and very frustrating when many of the player's (if not all?) are trying to create new breeds. I know many have been successful, but many have not and it's amazingly hard to progress when you can't breed a thoroughbred filly from a cross that historically produces thoroughbred colts. So it would be nice if the height deficit for fillies could be turned down a few notches.

I agree it took me for ever to get akhel teke and they are easy but I was getting really short mares that went from 13.0 to 13.1

I know some Akhal Teke mares and they are certainly not tiny pony height. They're 15hh+.

I just wish that mares could be as tall as stallions

I also realized how inflated the price for mares is, I'm trying to sell some 4* colts and they're not selling at below 1k. Any mare I've tried to sell has been sold instantly.

I've had a second look at this code and I've decided I'll reduce the gender effect by half. I won't probably get to this today (small chance I might) but I do hear your complaints and I can see how this is causing an issue.

This is great news. I've been and am so frustrated with getting colts on or over the expected height only to have the filly's small enough to go into my handbag and useless to me. Thanks for looking into this Larissar.
