To clarify, I wasn't asking for that requirement to be added back. As I said, for instance, bays and buckskins both show it. Agouti being visible is the requirement, much like with GP, not the horse being bay specifically. The change in the club name makes so much sense considering this, and hopefully will help people realize the varied opportunities within this gene.

I think adding more entries is great! However I think rewarding people that may not actually care about improving agouti promoter feels unfair when some of us have worked hard to expand the club, and improve the horses that display that gene. Encouraging people to breed for agouti promoter is awesome. Encouraging them to take advantage of awards in a growing club with an easily hidden gene doesn't feel awesome (which was my concern with entry being entirely open ended).

Most of the small clubs and small eras have people that are very dedicated to keeping them going; to grow them to keep them from being taken away or becoming inactive, to ensuring awards run, etc. etc. The bigger clubs just don't have that same community effort, because they don't need it. I think because the smaller clubs have far more intention behind them, changes to them also feel more personal. That may not be valid from a game perspective, but it's true regardless.

With the changes you've made / are making to how that gene displays along with the club changes, maybe more people will be excited about horses that display it and want to contribute to lines with it in a meaningful way. I'm all for expanding the breeding of a gene, by people who want to contribute to bettering the community around that gene.

:) Thank you for adding collectibles back! I was so scared, lol.
