Making my herd better
  • I've been here for more than 2 years now.
    I have some really pretty horses, I am getting pretty good at futurity and also at breeding for belton Horses.
    But what I don't seem to be good at is avoiding falling into era 0.
    I start with great new horses of a late era and a few generations down the line, they're siring foals who are generation 5,6 or zero. Should I get rid of the early generations.? how do you deal with all these different eras?
    Thanks

  • I avoid eras under 11 entirely except for my bootstrap herd. And I usually breed same eras together in 100-acre pastures because they're siblings and half siblings from the same line started at the same time, unless it's my mixed fantasy and I don't care anymore. But still, I only have a handful of horses under era 11 and I keep them separate.

    ETA: You don't need to keep higher eras to make your herd better. I've been a stickler about era from the start just because. No real reason. But it doesn't matter except for the era leaderboards and now futurity.

  • I have never bred"for Era's" it was always more important to me to get the genes I wanted and the foals were / are SUP to parent. Some months I do well on the LB some months I don't... I think its all up to you in the end what you are breeding for.

  • I honestly never paid attention to Eras until the Furts came out. And then Ammit kinda explained how Eras work (but I think it still goes largely not understood). At this point, I think I'm too far along to really do anything in the Eras. I think there is probably more to be done with on the Furt Boards, rather than Era LBs, specially if you have long established lines.
  • Eras are awesome if you want to get into winning on the LB, but they don't make your heard any better/worse.

    Having a *** star stallion at era 10 means a heck of a lot more powerful than a *** star at era 0.

  • So how does the color/pattern breeding pan out ... am i doing it wrong should i be Era breeding first and then Pattern/Color breeding to get moving on LB board?
    I just breed for what I'm breeding for ... never actually went for the Eras before, just the patterns and colours that I like.
    As for Eras I have a few across all the Eras I guess just watch which Era that your breeding, add a new challenge to the mix. :)

  • Ammit, when you say the era 10 is more power than the era 0, how do you mean? A better breeder, or just better at the LB or s omething else?
  • When it comes to leaderboards.
