What do you mean? Why are Styx not good enough for N'ws? Styx desperatly need stability, and N'ws will do that.

The Styx are great for them (and they are definitely good for the Styx) but eventually with four males they can have a larger territory and more prides under them. Just thinking of previous coalitions of 4 and how much territory/prides they controlled.

@Gijima  I don't think alot of people understand how lions extend territories so let me explain. Firstly, the N'waswitshaka are not nomads that pitch up in an area and takeover anymore, they are pride males. So if they try to take more territory from other males they will be either extending territory or abandoning the territory they hold now. When lions extend territory, they are basically pushing their borders in a specific direction by roaring and scent marking. Basically taking ownership. The N'waswitshaka have not gone further north since the Bboys chased them. Over the last few months, they have been seen in East Lions Sands and Kirkmans Kamp and yesterday were at the South Western corner of Mala Mala. Which coalition does this belong to? The Southern Avocas. With the angle the Birminghams territory is from the N'waswitshaka, it's very unlikely they try to take from the Birmingham Boys. The most they can take is Northern Sabi Sabi and maybe Umkumbe but taking over Eastern Londolozi and Mala Mala is very unlikely unless they get through the S Avocas first. The Birminghams core territory is just too far north and too much at an angle. But the N'waswitshaka are not even making a move on the Birminghams, the Birminghams probably instilled fear in them when they chased them, not saying that won't change but it is extremely unlikely they take Birmingham territory from them. The N'waswitshaka are not going to pitch up in Central Mala Mala and fight the Bboys for territory when they have a territory in the far south west of that location. Reply
