Maximum Total Skills

---

To calculate the maximum possible total skills a horse can achieve,

Max skills = 60 + IBS + GP + 2(LPV * LC)

Component	Function
60	Maximum skills gained after finishing foal games
IBS	Inborn skill value of the foal before any foal games
GP	GP value of the foal
LPV	Value multiplier of the lessons: 0.214 + (lessonPrice - 31) * 0.00124138
LC	Number of lessons completed during horses trainable life: Default: 140 Maximum pieces of cloud: +40 Water of youth given at 2 years old: x2 Final value: -1 (LC is 139 with no WOY/POC, up to 357 with both)

Inborn Skills (IBS) of foals

---

Expected IBS range for a foal based on parents GP and BLUP values at time of conception.

IBS = FoalGP * ((DamBLUP + SireBLUP) / 1000) [x1.5 if using aphrodite's tears]

Value has a 4% variance

Genetic Potential (GP) of foals

---

This is calculated using the GP approximation formula I discovered in 2014.

The premise is that GP gains scale according to how far away you are from the highest GP on the server. Horses at the highest GP for the server see very small/minimal gains, ranging from 0.1 - 1.0 though based on factors I haven't figured out.

GP = p + m(u + ((t - p) / 100))

Component	Function
p	Parents average GP: (DamGP + SireGP) / 2
b	Parents average BLUP: (DamBLUP + SireBLUP) / 2
m	BLUP multiplier for GP gain: (b + 100)^2 / 40000
t	Highest GP on the server
u	Minimum GP gain (ie 0.5, seen in the highest GP horses on a server)
