Clean Breeding

"Clean breeding" is a blanket term for any one or combination of several playstyles on LioDen, all user-created. In short, these styles are: Hard Mode, No Big 4, No Inbreeding, and No Big 4 or Inbreeding.

Hard Mode
Hard Mode breeding was founded by Cerrates. Hard Mode aims to breed from lions with no heritage outside your pride, and to keep your pride's heritage strictly in-pride. Chased NCLs, event studs, raffle lionesses, and rolled kings are acceptable. Incest IS allowed in Hard Mode.

Incredibly similar to the Low Gen playstyle, wherein lower generation lions are valued, but do not necessarily have to come from your own pride.

No Big 4
Also known as CLFL Clean. This playmode was - as far as can be determined - started by Jaxster. No Big 4 breeding's only true stipulation is that lions not be related to four studs in game; those four lions are: Boombah, HOT HOT TATER TOT, Keyser Soze, and The SAVANNAH PRINCE. Under this method of clean breeding, incest is allowed, so long as the Big 4 appear nowhere in your lion's heritage.

No Inbreeding
Arguably the simplest of the 'clean' breedings to attain, no inbreeding only cares about one thing: did your pixel lion have a cub with their pixel granddaughter? Staff has supported this basic staple of clean breeding with an in-game features to count the number of inbreeding instances on a page of heritage. If a lion does at least meet the No Inbreeding requirement, then it is considered a dirty lion by most 'clean' players. This often counts far back into the lineage.

No Big 4 & No Inbreeding
Occasionally called Squeaky Clean, Pure Blooded, or Completely Clean. This playstyle combines the CLFL and No Inbreeding rules to create lions without the Big 4 and no inbreeding anywhere in their heritage. Occasionally also intersects with the Low Gen playstyle, with the aim of using low generations to ensure no incest or Big 4 relations.
