Flight Rising Legacy Challenge
This idea is inspired by the legacy challenges found for the game The Sims. In brief, it is a 10 generation breeding challenge where the aim is to go from an ungened starter to an attractive triple-gened dragon. There are rules and limitations in place to make that more of a challenge.
This challenge also has a board on the FR forums.
Obtain an unhatched egg (or buy an unbred first gen dragon)
Hatch it - this dragon is your founder
Find a mate for this dragon
The mate must be the same flight as your founder (doesn’t matter if not the same flight you’re in)
You cannot pay more than 10,000t for this dragon
This dragon must not have bred before
When they’re ready, breed them
When the eggs hatch, the first egg that hatches is the heir
You can keep, exalt or sell the founder & mate and any other hatchlings; whatever you do, they are now excluded from the challenge
You must now find a mate for your heir
This mate must be the same flight as the founder was
You cannot pay more than 20,000t for them
When they’re ready, breed them
The rules for each subsequent generation are the same
The mate treasure cap rises by 10,000 each generation (e.g. 3rd gen = 30, 4th gen = 40k)
The first hatchling to be born for this generation is your final dragon
If you’ve been keeping score, tally your total and see how you did compared to others doing the challenge
No scrolling: no breed change, no scatter, no gening, no removing genes, no maturity scrolls
Renaming scrolls are an exception to this rule
You cannot use dragons you’ve won, been given, or bred from another pair as a mate for one of your heirs, you must purchase them
Points for hatchlings can only be counted for the clutch the heir was in - you can’t breed your first pair again and count their offspring as points towards your legacy score (though of course you can breed them as much as you want outside of the challenge)
2 points for every 10k under budget you came when buying mates for your heirs (round prices up)
Example: in your 5th generation with a limit of 50k you only spent 18k - round up to 20k, leaving you 30k under budget = 6 points
Advanced optional scoring: 2 points for every 10k made from selling/exalting legacy dragons (old founder/mates or non-heir hatchlings)
1 point for a plentiful breed (tundra, guardian, mirror, fae)
2 points for commons (pearlcatcher, ridgeback, snapper, spiral)
3 points for uncommons (skydancer)
4 points for limited (imperial)
5 points for rare (wildclaw, coatl)
3 point per treasure gene
5 points per gem gene (circuit, iridescent, shimmer)
3 points for double colours (xxy, xyx, yxx)
5 points for triple colours (xxx)
heir multiplier: your heir scores double
example: a basic/seraph (3)/basic snapper (2) would score 5 - doubled to 10 if it was your heir dragon
You can set yourself extra goals: e.g. to get a xxy or a triple in 10 generations, to get a specific colour or colour combo in 10 generations
You can play without scoring if you like
Uglacy variant: your goal is to breed a supremely ‘ugly’ dragon in 10 generations
Breed restricted variant: all the dragons you use are the same breed
You can theme your legacy for extra fun, e.g. a naming scheme
Perhaps have a piece of apparel that gets passed from heir to heir
If you’re into RPing, get to it!
