So you can end up with a white if you have a White/Normal, White Piebald, White/Cream and then GRAY/cream.

I feel the gray/cream should be changed slightly - even just given a gray mane since it is still called WHITE that is very deceiving.

I also think the White/Cream should have a slighty varying color since cream is in fact the hardest marking to get dominant. Again, maybe a slightly varied mane.

There are a few others that run into this (white/graying modifer puma for instance) but I think this is the most troublesome one since white is THE most common color. It seems unfair to end up with a white unicorn when you get the hardest marking possible dominant. At least with the puma white is the rarest color so it isnt such a kick in the rump to get a white with graying modifier.

As far as I can tell, Unicorns are the only ones that look like the most common of common when they get the rarest marking (or least dominant I should say).

maybe cream/white chould become cremello

 

cream/chestnut would be changed to RED ROAN - http://khongthe.com/wallpapers/animals/red-roan-horse-25930.jpg - http://www.cowgurlcreations.com/images/salebarnphotos/Smoken%20Red%20Sky%206%2009.jpg - http://www.mctamaraacres.com/images/unreg_red_roan.jpg

 

grey/cream could be - pearl - http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/horse/pearl.php - http://www.prehorse.info/classifieds/images/915-3.jpg

Champagne - http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/horse/champagne.php - http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/y/tid/9670186.jpg

or maybe: blue dun/grullo - http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com/images_colors/grulla5.jpg

 

just for diversity.

Total support!  It is so dissapointing that you start with white as the most common and basically wortwo wards white with different genes- if they varied noticibly at all it wouldn't be so bad.

Just doing a little search through colors brindle is an interesting option for gray/cream (think they call it a cool brindle with the gray/white)

Total support, especially for changing Gray/Cream.

Also, I personally feel that Gryphons with Yellow/Brown and Cat dominant shouldn't just be yellow. Lion? Cheetah?

I think I'd generally support more color variety over less, whether it's white unicorns, white pumas, yellow gryphons...

Support, but for all species. Unicorns arn't the only ones with multiple white bases that look the same.

Pumas have the white white but I hesitated bringing them up since white is the hardest color to get. However the graying modifer which is also difficult does make a white/white.

I do agree there are other colors that need to be tweaked. The unicorn just jumped out at me most since it is a middle of the road color with a difficult modifier ... turning it to a common color.

I don't mind the duplicate colors, because it reflects how multiple genotypes can have the same phenotype (appearance). In my opinion, change a couple of them, but leave a few duplicates.

@dragonsage's post:

if there are duplicates i would rather see more duplicates then just like 1-2 (diffent)  duplicates per creature. as for the way the system IS there are too many uniques for there to be duplicates.

Currently the duplicates are 

  • Four combos for white unicorns
  • Three combos for white dragons
  • Two combos for black dragons
  • Two combos for silver dragons
  • Two combos for white gryphons
  • Two combos for yellow gryphons
  • Two combos for black gryphons
  • Four combos for white pumas
  • Two combos for black pumas
  • Two combos for white cockatrice
  • Two combos for black cockatrice
  • Three combos for  white rocks

Since the majority seem to want less duplicates, I was suggesting changing a few of the duplicates (the ones with 3 or 4 combos to get that color); that way there'd still be multiple genotypes for phenotypes, but less white unicorns for example. 

Duplicate phenotypes could come in handy if the color quests get added.

Especially the puma, which just needs a snow leaopard colour, such a quick thing to do since the spots are already drawn.

I personally kind of like that more than one genetic makeup can lead to the same appearance - something like that is a nice way to keep even experienced breeders/players guessing and increase interest for certain phenotypes.

But I agree that the white unicorns overdo it though. *support*

I collect and breed cockatrice - See my wanted ad if you're willing to breed or sell your cockatrice!

Support.... too many white unicorns, and they are all nameless because I haven't decided names (I will when they get skins). Its crazay.
