You survive that long by having the ability to hunt well, and to know what to do when a predator comes near. You hunt well by having a sharp eye and good combat. When a predator comes near you, fly, it can't get you. And don't raise chicks, they take up almost all of your time and you constantly have to hunt food for them, not you, and you usually end up starving and dehydrated.

I would say it takes about two seasons for a condor chick to grow. It's laid in late winter, hatched in early spring, and mature in mid summer. :wink:

In the top right corner it has *insert number*/*insert number* if it looks like, say, 1/8 you are alpha but, say, 3/8 you aren't Alpha. And you can be Alpha if you want.

This happens with any animal. Naturally when you're a new adult or experienced, you are probably more fast and skilled, however as time goes by, so does your age. Basically, you're becoming an elder. Getting food for yourself is getting tiring, your health is fragile now, and to flying often may be bothersome at this point. You're overall a bit slow, even though a Condor is naturally a scavenger, so I guess you may have to risk the points of hunting by simply taking it easy on the elder Condor and moving to the old carcasses. It's all about being as realistic as possible while still allowing players to interact with one another.

ahhh... now that makes more sense. Thanks a lot! this is a lot of help. @shadow-wolf. The alpha is your rank, you get it by challenging. You cant take it from another real player but you can take it from an NPC. for example 1/3=alpha 2/3=not alpha. :)

quick question: About how many seasons have to pass before you can become an elder?

Without logging off? I'd say around 16.You are born in late winter/early spring and once a season goes by, you have 1/16 on your age meter. I hope I helped!

About the snakes hurting you thing... Condors eat snakes, or atleast king snakes. They're harmless and make a pretty nice snack for me.

If you pick them up, they will attack you though, but won't if you don't try to hurt.
