I have got some questions about a wolfing run i like to start. :|
- Which agents should i use? Are there any very good agents for a wolfing run?
- Did i need to adopt some Creatures?
- What are the best breeds for a wolfing run?
- Should i warp the creatures, which are an older generation?
- Is there a way to get pigment and pigment bleed mutations easier?
- What will be my maximum creatures?
- Is there a way to get age mutations easier?

Ooohh, thats a lot of questions! Lets see...

- Which agents should i use? Are there any very good agents for a wolfing run?
In your Wolf Run you can use any agents you want. On one side you can use things like the Wolfing Vendor to support your creatures inderect while you are away. On the other side you could be mean and make traps with bad agents such as Demon Die and other evil stuff from Twilight. Or you do a middle way and put both kinds of agents there.

- Did i need to adopt some Creatures?
You can and may if you want, but you needn't. Only 2 rules count for the creatures you use in a private Wolf Run:
1. You must like the creatures
2. You must trust them that they (or at least some of them) can survive alone

- What are the best breeds for a wolfing run?
And again: choose whatever you want. Take something ChiChi-like for "neutral" starting conditions or something weak like Treehugger to make it from the start hard. If you think that the creatures shouldn't have it too hard you can also add anything robust like Hardman to the gene pool.

- Should i warp the creatures, which are an older generation?
What do you exactly mean? Exporting your highgens that came up in the Wolf Run or putting up a portal to let other highgens in?

- Is there a way to get pigment and pigment bleed mutations easier?
If you mix creatures which are from start a bit different colored, you'll end up with an exploded paint factory.

- What will be my maximum creatures?
That point you have discuss with your computer. After how many creatures your computer starts to run choppy? What do you think how many creatures you really need at once? Do you use extra rooms or not? And if yes: how many? Each creature wants enough space for itself, else they might start to kill each other.
In a DS-only world with no metarooms added I would suggest around 15-20.

- Is there a way to get age mutations easier?
Same as for the colors: use different starting values.

I hope that was a small help ^^


Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...

Thanks, that will help me a lot. :)

Well, i like to have a lot of highgens so, i will warp the oldest generation to another person, and then i will keep a low population of highgens. :)

I think i will use a modified C3 CFEm Grendel genom, which will be having different Variants like the CA norns.

If you use agents to support or hurt the creatures, it's usually considered a feral run, not a wolfling run, though I think using agents for maintenance purposes keeps in the spirit of things. I'd suggest getting the DS Reaper which removes immortal creatures from your gene pool.

You could also post your creatures on Creatures Caves or TCR ;)

The reaper will be a nice tool too but i,ve seen another one of it over here. :)

And this one is for C3 too! :D

I second this idea! Please don't make the same mistake I made with my ill-fated C2 Feral Run - I promised the entrants they could have a copy of their Norns after the run was finished, and then my game crashed and the run had to be abandoned, and everyone lost their Norns. :$ So yeah, upload the Norns somewhere as a safeguard!
