Dinosaurs Alphas

Your Feature Request / Idea
The dominance displays are fine and add a nice little touch but they add no consequence to the outcome. They do it over and over that they quickly become redundant. I've seen people who've played Operation Genesis on the forums adding good mechanics to this idea. After a dominance display, the dinosaur who lost can't challenge that one again. He can challenge another one and so and so forth so an alpha can be established. This dynamic happens only when the group(or pair) has just been created. After that the contest to become the alpha commences.In which case the alpha goes uncontested for a time until they're challenged, and if they lose this creates a new alpha. There should also be a fight but not to the death for the alpha crown. Alphas should also have their own icon

Thank you Frontier for your hard work.

Wholeheartedly agree here. Put 8 velociraptors in 1 enclosure, and watch them do nothing but fight/eat/fight/drink/fight.
It happens far too frequently - very unrealistic. Even in JP lore - the Big One came in, took over the pack, and was never challenged again.
This isn't The Lost World(novel)'s wild, untamed raptor packs.

Also - the mechanic in which the winner stands there like a statue while the loser runs directly past their head in panic is even stranger. There's no "taunt" like the patch notes said, just a stationary winner and a panicking loser.

Frequency of the fights needs to be dialed right back, and make them more meaningful!

Yeah, stuff like this would be so cool to have.

Thanks daneofelysium. The dominance display is a good idea heading in the right direction for dinosaurs we know have alphas in them like the raptors,triceratops,pachys etc. It just needs a few more things implemented and executed well for it to be good.
