Re: Potential erosion and the breeding barn
I admit it would help.
One of my secret weapon flat breeding start things now is to look for a game-gen older stallion with an odd record for age. Like a listed placing at 12. And then verify he (usually AI bug or new game) didn't race at all ages 2-4. Those I grab and test breed. No matter what the UI says the invisible potential bar was likely over 80%.
It would make breeding for those more annoyed by test breediings less frustrating. And with more randomness in 7, that's a lot of good mare test breedings you need to do to know ... still worth it on game start up, but not as fun later in a game even for me.
