Welcome! I’ve decided to take up the Breed Out the Ugly Challenge (rules linked in banner), and this is where I’ll be documenting my progress.
Part II!
This is a personal challenge, but feel free to comment and do whatever! If anyone’s interested I’d be happy to ping with updates.
The constraints I’ve set for myself are as follows:
- Heirs and mates must be triple-gened
- Mates cannot cost more than 15kt/g, preferably less than 10kt/g
- Maybe more to come? I'm bad at this
This is my founder. He is the worst dragon I could find, but for some reason, I’m very fond of him.
Cost: 7400t
I don’t particularly like Ridgebacks, ringlets is one of my least favorite genes, and I dislike the muddy greens on the color wheel. Coupled with the blues and purples of his primary, he is a walking disaster, and thus the perfect place to start.
Now, I have no idea where to go with him. There are several variants on the challenge to make it harder, such as breed locks, gene locks, or double uglies. I’m a very indecisive person, so for my first round, I’m doing a double ugly. This is his mate.
Cost: 8000t
Depending on the outcomes, I’ll continue to choose ugly mates until I have a clearer idea of my direction, at which point I'll start to narrow things down. When in doubt, let RNG decide.
They'll be ready to go in two weeks. After their first batch, I'll decide how I want to pick the offspring I'm going to keep.
