Pkease don't tell me that the drafts are going to loose skills with each breeding!

This was posted a few pages back:

no they won't lose skills, they are only like donkeys in that they can only be bred 3 times

I'm really excited about drafts anyone else plan on getting them?

*quits nervously chewing nails*

Phew! That makes me feel better! Thanks guys!

*Raises hand and waves it*

Oh! Me! I am so going to breed them with my Gypsy Vanners...that'ss if there are Clydesdales!

What's up with the bred 3 times only rule. They are not donkeys. Draft horses are legit horses. Besides why do I feel like everyone keeps forgetting that friesians and gypsy vanners are draft horses too? Ok so if you want to be overly technical friesians are light draft horses and gypsy vanners are small draft horses but the point I'm getting at is that Howrse already has draft horse breeds on it. Also they breed like any other horse on here. So I don't get why the new draft horse breeds are being treated differently then the ones already here. Or will this mean that friesians and gypsy vanners will be treated the same as the new draft breeds coming out?

Also this has been bugging me a bit. But this is the spoiler forum. So by definition people are here to read about spoilers in the games. So why are why hidding the spoiler information to begin with? If you don't want to know what's most likely to be coming out then you would you even be in the spoiler section to begin with?

And while I'm on a bit of a rant I have to also put it out there but I'm seriously disappointed with the current look are friesians on Howrse. The original look was a trillion times better then the current look.

Ok this will end my rant oh but if you want to check out about frisians and gypsy vanners being draft horses you can just google it. Wiki says they are both draft horses right in the first paragraph on each of there pages.

The reason given every time when that comes up is that not everyone might be here for the same spoilers. So, someone who only wants to know what the next divine is could still want to be surprised by the ec changes (or the other way around).

For those of you wanting, or dying to cross breed your drafts,

Remember why waste the breeding. You only get three.

And its not like real life, it will look like a draft, or it will look like the other.

Hmm...good point...good point. That makes me think to wait and just breed pur drafts for a while.

My guess for the "only 3 breedings" rule is because they earn double the resources and Equus or whatever for the EC. So of you just buy countless Drafts continuously and register them all in your EC, than you are earning yourself extra money. Going along with this same logic, my guess as to why they don't have the same breeding rule for the GVs and Friesians are because they don't have the afore mentioned benefit that these drafts will. I hope this is helpful!

So I wonder if there is an age limit for the double benefits of the the drafts, otherwise putting philosophers stones on lots of them would give unlimited free equus?

That's true, but if Howrse hadn't already thought about that, than you just told them. Now, there is practically no question about having an Age limit on them. Waaaa! LOL! {I am joking BTW!}

Well, I brought the question up because lets say, the drafts are not obtainable by everyone, then there would be an unfair gameplay advantage.

Well, no,you can kind of get unlimited Equus on any horse as long as you keep doing Equus.. It would just move *so* slowly.

@Laur

True that.

I wonder how the draft breeding teams are going to take this news. 3 breedings? Ouch. I mean, we all know GP climbs a bazillion every day (look at the zanners, two weeks after introduction Incitato got them to the top of the Grand Prix. Granted, Reining never had true competitors with the right skills to start with...) but with only three breedings? *whistles* Then again, with only three horses a generation (six with wands) breeding might actually go faster (less of a pool to choose from, so less time blupping) ...

Really can't wait to see how this pans out. I'll give it two months

Ah ha! Finally - a glitch on Preprod has been fixed and I learned the information I wanted to know the most of crafting:

Will Tianna work on Draft coverings too? Or would that be too much to ask / wish for?

Answer to something under your spoiler-cut. (This is pretty ridiculous to look at with all the spoiler boxes )

urgh! prices have gone up

for the boxes that is

If they have the same breeding system as donkeys, wouldn't that mean drafts can breed only with drafts and no one else?

yet they are also drafts, and howrseès statement was that (!!!)*** DRAFTS***(!!!) woulkd have those benfits.

Just wondering how they figured that any new draft breeds added after now get that, but existing draft breeds don'tÉ

whatever. If anyone could explain this to me, that'd be great.

By the way, I say that a a person who is currently dedicated to breeding GVs, which are asmall draft horse. I think all the drafts should be treated the same, whether its for the benfits or not. though, 3 coverings would halt my teams production.
