Press U on your keyboard and you'll see if she is in estrus.
If she rolls on her back she is in estrus.
I don't know how frequent they get in estrus but if she isn't in estrus you can always click on the moon to advance with 7 days and try again.

Also here's a tip for people who are having trouble mating:

Press U to see if a female is in estrus (if she is in estrus she will roll on her back)
Get alone with the male and press U again (she will roll again)
While she is rolling click on the male (make sure you are no other lions around)
If you've done it right they should mate.
Continue this until they won't mate anymore and you should get cubs within weeks (i'm not sure how much weeks)
If you'll take good care of the cubs and keep them alive for about 2 years they should grow up, females will join the pack (Unless there are already five lions in the pack then they will leave also you can only have five lions in a pack so for example you have four lions in the pack and you've got four cubs only one female cub will join the pack when she grows up the rest will leave the pack.)

I hope this helps

Try putting Lion in a directory on your drive C: called Oldgames.
Then in DOSBox:
mount C C:\oldgames

That should work.

to be complete:
Also in dosbox your inputs will be:


c:
cd lion
lion


Nothing to click on.

When we talk about dosbox here we don't talk about that sucker of a dos command window but the "real" dosbox 0.73.

I have the proper DOSbox0.73 and when i type in those commands it comes up with "lion" is an illigal command
I am running on Windows Vista
OH and by the way i DID scroll through ALL the pages and DIDN'T find the answer.

That means the file is not present in that directory. You're doing something wrong.
