ok im officially writing challenge rules!!!
THIS CLANGEN CHALLENGE IS BIG ON FILE EDITING. If you need help, I can try to guide you based on what I learned while playing.
CLANGEN WANDERING CHALLENGE RULES
No specific map to start at; final map must be “opposite” of the first map in some way.
Challenge ends when you think the cats can feasibly find happiness at their final destination, or they’ve all died. If you need to play like 20 moons on the final destination that’s okay; your goal is for them to reach safety, clarity and comfort.
The cats spend every 6th moon traveling to a new camp, UNLESS someone is actively severely wounded/sick, pregnant, or caring for kits younger than 1 moon. Kits 1-2 moons will be carried if there are enough adults to do so. Otherwise they will stay put until all of the kits are traveling age.
If an extinction event occurs while they’re waiting for one or more cats to reach traveling condition, the chance of them leaving the cat(s) with a volunteer caretaker increases with the amount of cats “lost”. If you generate that they do leave, you can put both of these cats as lost. Once one returns, you are okay to recode the other into the clan as well.
Prey gets overwritten during travel moons:
your adults can bring 2 points of prey each, and apprentices 1.
Kits under 4 moons cannot bring any, and 4-5 moons olds can bring half but only if you think your clan would be willing to put that burden on them for the sake of the whole.
If you disregard the point system, there are 3 preset numbers you can choose based on clan size: 60 (default for starting the game), 120, and 240
Remember: your cats are in this situation because of some kind of dire situation, warning/omen, or occurrence. It’s your decision which, but you need to be conscious of your clan’s behavior and standard reactions either ingame or in your lore for them. You can modify these rules to fit your clan better, but be aware this is the default. If your clan wouldn’t abandon a clanmate no matter what, for example, rule 4 is not applicable to your run of the challenge.
Have fun, good luck, and feel free to suggest rules or other changes and addons!
