It all began with these innocuous horned beasties. Its their fault. Totally.

Slow and bumbling but oh so clever, they sneak in under your radar, fooling you.

You think they are not a threat and do not pay attention until one day you realize .. its too late. They have taken over. Pen after pen are filled with their stumbling heavy hoofs, trampling the flowers, making a mess in the pool. Starting Unions and demanding Cheetos three times a day.



Other dinos took notice and blared and honked and snorted in protest. " Why do they get preferential treatment? They smell! We are much cuter! We want to breed too!" Soon the other dinos began to replicate...first the whoolie rhinos pranced and capered till at capacity, then the archeopterx flew in swarms darkening the lands. Battalions of lucky mammoths danced in hallucingenic glories and kennels of Andrews bayed at the moon till I screamed.

Its enough to make a fat dancing villager go mad. Mad I tell you! buwahahahhahahahaaa!

In all seriousness, I am not a dino fusing specialist. My game is one of mainly logging in a few times a day, setting the longest recipes and doing as little as possible. hah. I am that lazy! I noticed though that my fusings seemed to go in patterns. One after another a certain type was bred or hatched, soon I would have 3-5 of the same beasts. Just as soon as I would count on getting them that regularly they would stop, usually after I just had fused the last one trying for some other less common beast. Then I would be left with a hole in my collection.

Happened with woolie rhinos, I loved the toddler animation, the capering one, so much happier than the grouchy adult. Well, I had so many of them that I fused the toddlers thinking I would be able to replace it soon. pfft. Nary a one after that. Same with my Pterodactyl. Never was a fan of the various stages of that beast so when I was trying for a certain fusion I went ahead and used all my stash. Guess what? I havent seen a one since and now my collection doesnt even have one. pffft and double pffft!

I just dont get it really. My rarest fusions have been Turtles, only have had two, Raptor, only one, Triceratop, only two and fused one before I realized how rare it was for me to get it. For awhile I despaired of ever getting a Sabertooth, then whammo, four in row. Since then.. none. I only just now got a Messo, a year of fusings yeilded just the one and I will most certainly hang onto it. I see other villages filled with herds of them and I scratch my head in confusion.

I collect dinos for the animations, aiming to keep the various growth stages I like of each type as well as one full grown beast. My lesson I have learned is not to take the fusings for granted and to make sure I keep my copies of each stage and not use them up in fusions on the premise that I can replace them quickly. Cuz it seems I can't.

I have followed others posting on what results they yearn for and I look and see that particular type of dino is common for me. I just wonder if people have a set chance for fusions per device? sorta like a randomly generated set values for the basics. My commons is someone elses rares and vice versa.

I dunno. Not a clue. Its beyond me. Think I'll go take the Protoceratops their Cheetos before they go on strike. Again.
