New maps that aren’t in North America and don’t repeat the same old animals!

[limber lake]

Give us new maps with new animals! Africa 2.0 or India. I feel like all we have are North American maps with moose and whitetail! I love getting new maps but honestly there’s so many animals in this world why are do we keep repeating them!

African Map: Spotted hyenas, crocodiles, waterbuck, giraffes, zebras, greater Kudu, Hippos, leopards

India Map: Tiger, Indian elephant, Indian rhino, sloth bear, Gaur, Nilgai, gharial,

[ionic tulip]

What about Canada

[chilly saddle]

India was pretty much confirmed "never happening" as hunting is VERY illegal there

[snow lion]

I have suggested a Japanese map.

I made a post close to this one. Except my two countries were turkey and Japan.

[limber lake]

It’s a video game though… it would also be illegal to run around killing as many animals as you like but we do it.

[chilly saddle]

A video game that's aiming to be respectful to other cultures.

I'm also fairly certain the only "hunting" of tigers that's done is actually called "poaching" so they're unlikely to be added to the game.

[ionic tulip]

But I can influence people though

As far as hunting in Southern and Southeast Asia there is Pakistan (markhor, wild boar, gazelle and various other animals), Nepal (bharal, tahr, muntjac) and possibly Malaysia (Saltwater Crocodile, water buffalo, lots of small game)

[ionic tulip]

Pakistan?

[snow lion]

The link is the one I made. If you want you can look at it.

[pure cove]

Markhor hunting is almost synonymous with Pakistan and it’s also where one can hunt animals like Punjab Urial, Chinkara Gazelle and Sindh Ibex to name a few species

[open pendant]

Mongolia is the best option in Asia, there are national hunting regulations as well as specialized reserves and promotion of hunting tourism

[pure cove]

Mongolia, Pakistan and Tajikstan are all countries I would like to see (Japan would be nice too and Malaysia could be a possibility)

[ionic tulip]

Markhor look werid

[pure cove]

In real life it can cost around 120 to 160k to hunt in Pakistan and I do recall only 12 permits are issued each year with 80% of the revenue going to local communities

[snow lion]

What big game does Mongolia have?

[ionic tulip]

I think they're called blue goats or something they look like a mouflon or dall sheep they look awesome

[open pendant]

The problem with Pakistan is obtaining relevant information on flora, fauna, audiovisual data of the environment, there are no specialized places or reserves for hunting, almost all hunting permits and incursions are carried out in private areas where the government does not encourage them or properly regulated by a wildlife department as in the other countries where we already have reserves in the game

[snow lion]

You also have Asian elk there as well.

[pure cove]

3 kinds of Argali, 2 kinds of Ibex, 2 types of Gazelle, Wapiti, Siberian Roe Deer, Boar, Wolf, Waterfowl, Grouse, Sandgrouse and marmot

[snow lion]

Is that the saiga gazelle?

[open pendant]

Asian Elk
Altai Argali
Hangai Argali
Gobi Argali
Siberian Ibex
Gobi Ibex
Asian Wolf
Hillier Goitered (black-tailed) Gazelle
Mongolian (white-tailed) Gazelle
Siberian Roe Deer
Wild Boar

[pure cove]

No, Goitered Gazelle and Mongolian Gazelle/Dzeren. (I replied to the wrong message it seems)

[snow lion]

As a type of hunting. Become a falconer. Very popular in Mongolia.

[mystic pawn]

I want Africa 2.0 and a whiterime remake as the next 2 maps

[snow lion]

I would like an Australian map. One of the most popular in the hunter classic.

[pure cove]

The specific subspecies that I am aware of in Mongolia would be the Altai wapiti, and there are hunts that allow hunters to take both wapiti and Altai Ibex

[open pendant]

if we take the poll done on youtube a while ago as a roadmap, then the next 3 reserves could be Africa 2.0, Australia and UK
the most likely thing is that the next to leave is Africa, but the surprise will be in which region of Africa it is centered

[snow lion]

Really the UK?

[pure cove]

If there is to be another European reserve, either the Balkans or the Caucasus Mountains would be better something I want

[open pendant]

It is a great region with a lot of history for the sport and a large population of hunters as well as hunting regulations and laws that support and recommend it as a means of population control, it also has amazing landscapes

[pure cove]

I could see it as a Small Game Reserve, though it could wind up another as another Red Deer map

[open pendant]

UK Species

Red deer
Roe deer
Fallow deer
Sika deer
Muntjac deer
Chinese water deer
Hog deer

Ducks

Mallard
Wigeon
Teal
Shoveler
Pintail
Common pochard
Common goldeneye
Gadwall
Tufted duck

Geese

Greylag goose
Canada goose
Pink-footed goose

Small game

Pheasant
Partridge, grey and red-legged
Black grouse
Red grouse
Ptarmigan
Brown hare
European rabbit

I personally think it would make a great deer map with all those species

[pure cove]

I would save Hog Deer for either Australia or Pakistan (Australia could support 2 reserves at least)

[limber lake]

I think this would be a great map! I just really want something different in the game other than moose and whitetail I feel like they’re so repeated!

[pure cove]

People have said the same thing about Red Deer till Rancho came out

[limber lake]

Yeah I also think the red deer are repeated. I think with each new map released they should give at least one new animal that can’t be found on any of the other maps whether it’s big or small game.

[open pendant]

It is that the game is based on recreating real hunting areas, you have to look for an ecoregion that is different from the maps that we already have in the game, beyond the species that are in each one, the forests and ecosystems are different from each other.
By having all the reserves sooner or later we will have repeated animals, the list of legal hunting species is not infinite

[pure cove]

I think I was in another discussion where the idea of a reserve having an exclusive species was mentioned

[pure cove]

Sure not infinite, but we can easily get 6-8 more reserves out of Africa that has both a variety of species and ecoregions

Off the top of my head: Cameroon has both Jungle and Savannah, Ethiopia has it’s famous highlands along with savannah and desert, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, and somewhere in West Africa

[limber lake]

Im new to this app and the game I actually didn’t know so much went into each reserve.

[open pendant]

the developers try to create different scenarios each time, however depending on the latitude in which the countries are located the ecoregions are similar and therefore the trees and plants too, for example Hirschfelden and New England Mountain, the trees are similar but They are different species that evolved to adapt to the environment and fulfill the same functions since they are in a similar latitude, both have "Deciduous temperate forests"..
or also Yukon and Revontuli whit similar latitude and both with similar "Boreal Forests"..

[snow lion]

Have a steppe map from Mongolia or Russia.

I think Africa and Russia have the most diversity in terms of biomes.

[open pendant]

Undoubtedly Africa is the most diverse in terms of ecoregions, they could make the same amount of maps as in NA
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_ecoregions_in_South_Africa

[snow lion]

Make a Sahara map for Africa.

[pure cove]

The Sahara is not really doable, as most of the big game animals that live there are endangered, with several of those species being far more numerous in Texas

[snow lion]

Oh okay.

[random onyx]

The Sahara wouldn't really work. However, the Kalahari and Namib deserts in Namibia would be a great alternative, since those regions have a pretty wide variety of species available to hunt.

[ancient fable]

they should add the greater kudu to vurhonga

[spark kernel]

You know cotw is still missing one good North American map based in the Appalachian mountains. There’s plenty of game that hasn’t been included and needs to be. Initially I was excited for Mississippi but honestly it was a huge flop. But I have to agree on africa 2.0 with dangerous game mainly and larger plains game, I don’t think of wing shooting and rabbit hunting when I think of africa.

[open pendant]

New England Mountain is located in the Appalachian Mountains, all you see there is all there will be

[ionic tulip]

New england is American

[pseudo pasture]

Pakistan is a must have for me

[idle temple]

Agree with the sentiment of this, but the exception should defiantly be a Canadian arctic map, like #1070045518002147458

Polar bears and wolverines would be fantastic additions to the game.

In terms of US maps though, the majority of suggestions now feature very much lots of the same species that we find in us maps. The exceptions being lots of waterfowl and squirrels. All of which I’m sure could be added to the game without needing to create a new map. Similar to how lions were added to Vurhonga post dlc launch

@fresh plaza summed this up well here.

Adding waterfowl to Missipi would be a rekindling of a map that was a little lacklustre.

[fluid turtle]

There are quite a few places in Canada that would be great. The Artic while its great would not bring all the remodels or new species that are missing. At minimum we need 2 maps in Canada or some more U.S. maps to add the missing species and remodels.

Also for some people who get it confused. North America has more than just the U.S. We had 2 straight non North America maps so I say bring on Canada. Also Canada has zero maps in the game currently and could add a ton of new species and remodels.

[silent halo]

I hunt a hell of a lot out here, and there’s defiantly a few species that I think y’all want to see.

But I do agree that we have a lot of maps here already, I’m keen for Another Asia or African map (sundarpartan is the best!)

[prime cedar]

Japan would be cool. They allready got it in the angler so next would be our time 😁

[fresh plaza]

The only US map that I want to see now is Hawaii, and possibly Florida. Hawaii has a very unique lineup of species to hunt, and Florida is full of cool invasive species that you can’t normally hunt in their native range.

[idle temple]

I’d almost say the ship has passed for those. With 6 maps NA is well represented enough.

(Bar Canadian arctic, as it would be a properly unique lineup.)
I’d like to see Amur leopards, in an Indian style map, or potential backfills for sundar. Alongside Jarvan Rhinos

Obvs africa whoch I yell to the hills for constantly.

South’s America is massively unexplored too.

[random kettle]

Amur leopards are Russian(bordering china and North Korea)

[idle temple]

apologies, Indian leopard*
