Camel MazayenTraits and judging
The sum of the traits, how close they are, and the taste of each judge.
The seven traits
Nose, lips, head, neck, hump, ear, eye. Their sum is the "total specification".
The harmony bonus
The closer the trait values are, the higher the harmony bonus, up to +10%. It is counted at judging time. So a camel with close traits goes ahead of a camel with one high trait and weak others.
Rarity and age
Rarity goes from 1 star to 5 stars and raises the market value of the camel. A camel gets one year older each 3 real days. Age decides breeding and rounds, and an age speed-up makes a camel grow faster.
Judging at a festival
Screening, then qualifiers, then a final with a panel of three judges. Each judge has a taste that prefers some traits, and the order comes from the sum of their rankings. A 15% lead in specifications raises the place by one step.
Judging in a championship
The match goes to the camel that two of the three judges prefer. A 15% lead in the total specification decides the match. See Championships.
How do I raise the traits?
By breeding: a calf takes its traits from both parents, with a chance of mutation. Choose the stud that fills the gaps of the she-camel, so that the calf is balanced.
