Lion Challenge

Well I tried to take a quick approach to getting my franchise zoo started to at least get the lion costume but failed almost immediately lol. I’ll admit it wasn’t a very motivated attempt but it’s looking like this challenge is going to be tough. Which is okay btw. For me the hardest part of franchise is getting started as I prefer the creative aspect of sandbox over the challenge and management aspect of franchise. So is anyone else finding this one difficult as well? I will probably make another attempt at it tomorrow so will see how it goes as I do want the avatar costume at least.

I love the challenges, I build a new zoo for each one that is purpose built. When I first started in Franchise Mode things were a bit wobbly. I stumbled onto a tutorial on YouTube that really helped. Complete Starter Layout is just under 30mins, goes through step by step. This helped me immensely. Can't hurt to give it a look. Hope it helps you too.

@Loki Livewire thank you for the help. I released twenty tonight if I’m motivated I can do it I just tried to rush through it to get going the first time. I like franchise but much prefer sandbox so I really have to be motivated to follow through with it. I didn’t experience any bugs that some people encounter although I did notice some lag that I never experienced in sandbox.

Don't try to make money or even break even with this challenge. It's a race to the most bankrupt. I have released 84 now and owe 5 mil to the bank. Onwards!

The trading centre always seems to lag in FM, depending on how many people are trying to access. It drives me crazy sometimes, but; you deal with it.

Agree with @dinopilot hard time making money on these types of challenges. At least you end up with a bucketful of CCs.

I guess that depends on how many Lions you have in your zoo :) In my lion zoo, the feeding cost is well over 1mill a year now, so it's kinda impossible to make a profit :p

I have 16 habitats of lions with 3-4 females to one male in each not counting babies.

Needless to say, there's no way to make this profitable. Especially since I have to keep each lion in my habitat for years before I can release to get that fifth star.

I had a lion farm zoo, built from lions from 2 other zoos I had. That eventually went under but not before having 5 generations of lions and releasing them. I then moved some of the lions back over to the other zoos and continued the challenge. For some reason my zoo of breeding rejects, while small and unappealing, is making the most money and is currently sitting on 200,000. That's where the majority of the breeding lions are lol.

Damn, this challenge was good for me! Resulted in over 30 perfect babys (4x100% genetics) and almost 1 million CC in profit :O

Did you get Franchise Achievement reward? I released 300 lions & it's not registering in achievements.

I've logged a support ticket. Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else.

Hmm, haven't checked it. But I know that it's bugged. For most challenges, after the challenge have ended, it says my progress is 0 animals, when I have released hundreds of them.
