With the current set of maps in the game I feel that a map set in some form of tropical forest would really contrast nicely with the multitude of temperate forest and general northern hemisphere based reserves this kind of map could really set it's self apart. Three possible locations for a map like this could be central Africa, Northern Australia and Southern Mexico.
Central Africa: A map based in Central Africa could bring a multitude of new big game species to the game which has been a high request for many players. Examples include Hippos, forest Buffalo, Leopards, the elusive Bongo, Giant forest Hog, Red River Hog, several Duiker species if the devs really wanted forest Elephants. A map like this could be really well suited to bow or shotgun hunting due to the short sight lines changing up the meta a bit from run and gun rifle hunting
Northern Australia: This type of Australian map could easy use classics Piccabeen Bay as a blue print with potential for a few additional species like Saltwater Crocodiles and Hog Deer as well. This map could also provide a good opportunity for some new waterfowl as well as Australia has plenty of exotic birds to choose from.
Southern Mexico: A map which I do not recall ever seeing suggested here is the Yucatan area of Mexico. Admittedly I would like to see a map like this a map or two down the line as opposed to within the next two such as my previous map choices. The reason being this map would be largely focused on the exotic small game of the area such as Coatis, Paca, Guan, Curassow and the very colourful ocellated turkey. However there is still opportunity for mid sized game such as Brocket deer and the Yucatan Whitetailed deer.
All of these maps could be great choices for future reserves due to their contrast with the existing roster of reserves in the game.
