Mate dies in winter
I was just wondering, what would happen if a female mate happened to die in winter? Would you have to court with a new wolf before moving onto Spring, or would it be something completely different? I've been wondering for quite a while, since things do tend to happen.

Re: Mate dies in winter
If a female mate dies while she is expecting pups, her death will kill your unborn litter. In this situation, it's an instant game over if your wolf is male. You aren't given any opportunity to continue playing beyond this point since gray wolves will only breed once per year.
If a female mate dies after the pups are born, the game will trigger the 'Find a New Mate' objective. From there, you would be able to continue mateless or court a new partner.
If your pair is same-sex... sorry, I don't know what the outcome will be.
Source: READ!: Wolf Q&A - Frequently Asked Questions (Updated)The standard gray wolf's mating season takes place in February to March. [...] The gestation period (length of pregnancy) of gray wolves is usually around 63 days. Wolf pups are born in spring time.
If a female mate dies after the pups are born, the game will trigger the 'Find a New Mate' objective. From there, you would be able to continue mateless or court a new partner.

Nothing interesting happens.

That's really interesting, I've never thought of that before. It makes sense though.
Also, just to clarify, I'd like to point out that same-sex pairs are not possible in Wolfquest, it wouldn't work with the current game system, unless if you manage to find a bug, but even then it has been patched if I remember correctly.

From what Wiki contributor Cuyut has reported through playtesting, the same-sex trick still exists, and is still possible. Cuyut's comment and.
