A New, Prehistoric Game…

[craggy cypress]

(Before I suggest, I am aware that EW already tried 2 prehistoric games.)
Seeing all of the new remodels for EW, they have definitely grown in how they design and code the animals. I believe that if they wanted to, a whole new game, one based around more prehistoric mammals (not dinosaurs) would be amazing. What inspired this post was @cobalt swift and his wonderful prehistoric art based in the style of COTW. I will show some pictures below. Feel free to help me design some maps for this game, just @ me.

[viscid fern]

i have a large member of my body

[craggy cypress]

One map I would like to see is North America but in the past.

[crisp lotus]

I would love to play prehistoric hunting game! Also, we can use old hunting weapons like spears and bows

[craggy cypress]

Some species that might work would be dire wolf, American lions, American mastodons, Cervalces scotti (the stag moose), the steppe bison, and Harrington’s mountain goat.

A European map could have many species including the Irish Elk, one of my favorite prehistoric species

[patent silo]

We will have to wait 2 years to see if the new game that the studio is designing is similar to this one

[craggy cypress]

Wait…
Are they doing another game?!?!?

[patent silo]

Yes, since December the studio launched job calls for the development of a new Unannounced Project, without more details about what it will be but since it is from EW it is supposed to be from theHunter franchise

[severe anchor]

theHunter Primal 2 would be amazing. Different reserves set in different time periods would be awesome (Late Cretaceous Hell Creek, Late Jurassic Morrison Formation, Miocene Upper Canada, Permian Oklahoma, etc)

[mellow tartan]

Hell creek would be fun

[cobalt swift]

i feel that this game should start with 2 maps, just like COTW, and both maps should be Pleistocene maps, as Pleistocene animals would be easier to do than say non-avian dinosaurs. for these Pleistocene maps, they could also re-use assets from COTW, since many living animals were around during the Pleistocene (a few examples being Whitetail Deer, Black Bears, American Alligators, and etc.). After these maps, they could then maybe branch out and do some other maps for different time periods

also @craggy cypress, if you want me to, i could draw some maps, and come up with some species lists for said maps, since im good at making art and being a big paleonerd lol

i will obviously make some more species icons too

in terms of the game's name, it could be called either TheHunter Primal: Reborn or Call of the Wild: Primal (similar to how TheAngler is called Call of the Wild: TheAngler)

for weapons, the game should have both modern-day weapons (rifles, shotguns, pistols, bows) and ancient weapons (spears and maybe some ancient-styled bows)

[cobalt swift]

also, in a little bit, i'll make some species lists for said Pleistocene maps

also @snow sandal, check this out dude

[severe anchor]

I think they should start out with one Mesozoic map and one (I forgot the name of the era) ice age map

[lone monolith]

Would be an awesome game
(Either this or dinosaurs)

[snow sandal]

I believe a good starting place of some sorta could be the permian

[cobalt swift]

Cenozoic is the era name btw

[snow sandal]

as since most of the animals living during that time were either pretty small or generally weak in comparison to other time periods. Such as Dimetrodon, Gorgonops, Lystrosaurus, and/or diictodon

[cobalt swift]

i am curious tho for this game if they would add underwater animals, because if they didn't, then the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, and possibly some of the Carboniferous would be out of the picture

[snow sandal]

the animals during that time would either be unsuitable or anticlimactic to hunt or would be too small. Like who the hell will hunt a bug or fish the size of a coin

[cobalt swift]

true. only things i could imagine would be maybe some stuff from the Devonian and Carboniferous

[snow sandal]

who would hunt a giant centipede

[lone monolith]

Agreed

[cobalt swift]

also, this game would need a new class: class 10

because if stuff like Sauropods are gonna be in this, then we need something EXTREMELY powerful to take them down

[snow sandal]

elephant rifles

[lone monolith]

Yes, that's if they added dinosaurs and not just ice age creatures

[cobalt swift]

i imagine many people would want dinosaurs

[snow sandal]

dinosaurs i dont think would fit in the enviorment. theyre also so diverse they would need a seperate game init of itself

[patent silo]

Nobody wants dinosaurs, it's a dead market

[lone monolith]

I would lol

[cobalt swift]

i wouldn't exactly say they're a dead market, but i can understand why some people wouldn't want them

[lone monolith]

But should be a different game unless the games story would be 'time travel'
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to have dinos with ice age creatures

[cobalt swift]

plus, if birds are added, then the game would technically have dinosaurs since birds are avian dinosaurs

[patent silo]

The problem is that right now there are 5 or 6 dinosaur hunting and survival games on steam developed in UE5, too much competition, added to the fact that every dinosaur game that comes out dies fast

[lone monolith]

Make what FarCry Primal should have been aha

[spare ginkgo]

If its actually accurate this time this would be great

[cobalt swift]

that's where different maps for different time periods come in. like one map could be in the Pleistocene (Ice Age), and then another could be in the Late Cretaceous

[severe anchor]

Thanks it kinda escaped my mind lol

[lone monolith]

Is that why JWE, The isle, POT, etc. Still going strong?
I get what you're saying, there's already too many Dino games but they definitely don't 'die off fast'

[cobalt swift]

👍

[snow sandal]

Still, there’s already a bunch of dinosaur hunting games, what would make this one stand out?!!

[cobalt swift]

but anyways, i would like there to be maps with non-avian dinosaurs in this game, but i feel like it would be best if the first maybe 5 - 6 maps were in the Cenozoic era

[cobalt swift]

if they actually made the environments and animals accurate to science, it would HEAVILY stand out. most hunting games with extinct animals don't focus on paleoaccuracy, but this game would explode in popularity if it focused on paleoaccuracy

[snow sandal]

What? We’re gonna have a styracosaurus sound maker?!?!?

Sure it would be cool to accurately hunt a dinosaur but what will compel us to actually even play? Im sure a majority in the fanbase won’t care if it’s inaccurate

[cobalt swift]

if you mean callers, they could probably make a few callers for certain groups of ceratopsians

[lone monolith]

The Cenozoic Era is the time period between '66 millions years ago'-current date, which is separated by epochs (just so everyone is clear)

[severe anchor]

Yeah I know I just completely forgot the name of the era

[snow sandal]

Im not saying i don’t like the idea just kinda hesitant and thinking logically

[cobalt swift]

it's understandable. most people out there want the roaring, loud monsters of say the JP franchise instead of the real deal, so it would make sense why some people wouldn't be very intrigued by the idea of paleoaccuracy

[dark stag]

I would love to hunt mammoth myself

[cobalt swift]

agreed, especially Columbian Mammoths. they're my favorite mammoth species

[patent silo]

Those games are the reason why others die fast, they are the most popular and they encompass almost all the enthusiasts of the theme

[snow sandal]

I’d say that if we were to add so many maps it would take years

[lone monolith]

I feel like all the current dino hunting games (primal & prehistoric hunt) would have done much better if they didn't look so bad

[snow sandal]

So perhaps start off with very abundant species areas such as labrea tar pits and such. In fact I think labrea would be a great place to start this hypothetical game, very easy too

[dark stag]

Here is a rough idea of one Pleistocene Hunting Area based on the Old Crow Flats and Bluefish Caves in the Yukon Territory of Canada

Old Crow River - Yukon Territory

• Woolly Mammoth - Class 10
• American Mastodon - Class 10
• Jefferson’s Ground Sloth - Class 9
• Steppe Bison - Class 9
• Beringian Cave Lion - Class 9
• Short-faced Bear - Class 9
• Moose - Class 8
• Musk-oxen - Class 8
• Caribou - Class 6
• Yukon Horse - Class 6
• Scimitar-toothed Cat - Class 5
• Beringian Grey Wolf - Class 5
• Dall’s Sheep - Class 4
• Saiga Antelope - Class 3
• Wolverine - Class 3
• Arctic Fox - Class 2
• Arctic Hare
• Snow Goose
• Arctic Ground Squirrel
• Rock Ptarmigan

[lone monolith]

Yes but those are all completely different genre of games. Those are survival, zoo building, & role-playing games. We are talking about hunting games. A GOOD Dino hunting game would work if they didn't all look like a** lol

[snow sandal]

Hold on, modern animals?

[dark stag]

And some of the animals for that area I just added

[lone monolith]

You realize modern animal also existed during ice age, right?
Ex. Grey wolf

[snow sandal]

I do, just thought the game would be centered around the prehistoric animals

[lone monolith]

Ah I getcha

[snow sandal]

Im just thinking from a gameplay perspective nobody will give a sh*t, and I’m probably right

Because through my eyes they will just look like filler

[dark stag]

And the animals for my Yukon Area has a good amount of prehistoric animals
• The Scimitar Toothed Cat (Homotherium serum)
• Beringian Cave Lion
• Yukon Horse
• Steppe Bison
• Jefferson’s Ground Sloth
• Steppe Bison
• Mammoth and Mastodon
• Short-faced Bear

Also should mention that Hippopotamus were present in Europe for a good long time during the Pleistocene

[severe anchor]

We definitely need some Mesozoic maps. Hell Creek should definitely be one of the base game maps. Set in the late Cretaceous, it would basically give us all the dinosaurs people are used to;

• tyrannosaurus
• triceratops
• edmontosaurus
• dromaeosaurus
• parasaurolophus
• dakotaraptor
• struthiomimus

Just to name a few

[lone monolith]

Megalania, hell hogs, terror birds

[snow sandal]

Another good one id imagine could be the bahariya formation, which Suprisingly has a sauropod and a bunch of other stuff. Including spinosaurus

[dark stag]

Do we need a Mesozoic map though
Dinosaurs can have their own game

[severe anchor]

Morrison formation would also be another big one

[snow sandal]

But I think the one that will basically be the BEST MAP, the BEST ONE, would be Mesozoic Britain, with the likes of Zalmoxes, tethyshadros, Hatzegopteryx, magyrasaurus, telmatosaurus, and other cool stuff

[dark stag]

That sounds more like Cretaceous Romania, that is the country where a lot of those species where discovered

[snow sandal]

Then Isle of Wight

[mellow tartan]

I totally would

[snow sandal]

Bro that’s the only compelling thing to hunt other than eryops and meganuera

[lone monolith]

Yeah not very many creatures to choose from those time periods (devonian, etc.. before triassic)

[dark stag]

Here is another Pleistocene Hunting Area: Australia (with only 7 living species)

Pleistocene Australia

• Diprotodon - Class 9
• Palorchestes - Class 8
• Zygomaturus - Class 7
• Megalania - Class 7
• Quinkana - Class 7
• Giant Wombat - Class 6
• Giant Short-faced Kangaroo - Class 6
• Greyornis/mihirung - Class 6
• Marsupial Lion - Class 5
• Emu - Class 4
• Red Kangaroo - Class 4
• Propleopus - Class 3
• Murrayglossus/Giant Echidna - Class 3
• Thylacine - Class 2
• Perentie - Class 2
• Giant Malleefowl
• Australian Brushturkey
• Magpie Goose
• Australian Wood Duck
• Stubble Quail

[edgy dirge]

EW is a far larger company than most Dinosaur games'. Primal Carnage for example has a tiny dev team, like, 5-6 people I believe. Dinosaur games struggle because theyre really niche.

[patent silo]

Well, the studio has just abandoned the development of its dinosaur game, Second Extinction due to a lack of users, I see no reason for it to develop another.
i mean avalanche

[cobalt swift]

alright im gonna throw my hat into the ring with a map idea:
Map Idea #1: Pleistocene Florida (1.8 Million Years Ago)
Species List:

Extinct Animals:

1. Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) (Class 1)
2. Neochoerus aesopi (Class 4)

4. Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) (Class 4)
5. American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) (Class 6)
6. Black Bear (Ursus americanus) (Class 7)

[dark stag]

Were giant cheetahs even in Florida, I thought they were more of a Western US Exclusive

[cobalt swift]

they were in the eastern US too

[dark stag]

Interesting

Well that makes one Canadian, one US and one Australian area so far

[edgy dirge]

A more well rounded Hell Creek roster could include
Acheroraptor temertyorum
Alamosaurus sanjuanensis (possible)
Ankylosaurus magniventris
Anzu wyliei
Borealosuchus sternbergi
Brachychampsa montana
Champsosaurus laramiensis
Dakotaraptor steini (possibly invalid)
Denversaurus schlessmani
Didelphodon vorax
Edmontosaurus annectens
Leptoceratops gracilis
Ornithomimus velox
Pachycephalosaurus spinifer
Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis
Palaeosaniwa canadensis
Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni
Quetzalcoatlus northropi (possible)
Pectinodon bakkeri
Struthiomimus altus
Thescelosaurus neglectus
Thoracosaurus neocesariensis
Torosaurus latus
Triceratops horridus
Triceratops prorsus
Tyrannosaurus rex

Sorry for the wall of text I just love dinosaurs lol.

[cobalt swift]

yeah fossils attributed to the genus have been found in the US states of Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, South Carolina, Maryland, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Pennysylvania, and California

[orchid parrot]

I would love some awesome prehistoric animals

[snow sandal]

Some of the dinosaurs seem unnecessary

[orchid parrot]

Also if y'all want look at my Pakistan reserve idea for cotw, it's called Gaisam Game Reserve

[edgy dirge]

The problem with Hell Creek is that the "iconic" animals would all be massive, I tried to add smaller genus from other families as well. Of course all of this is hypothetical and not every species would need to make it into the game. Additionally there aren't a whole lot of large carnivores in the formation because of Tyrannosaurus' growth stages taking up literally every predatory niche lmao

[pseudo bridge]

Are you guys thinking whole new game or a small DlC added to this game ?

[dark stag]

Whole new game it seems like

[pseudo bridge]

I would play it for sure

[craggy cypress]

I would really appreciate it!

[snow sandal]

Let’s be real this game will never happen

Unless it does but probably not

[craggy cypress]

EW is making another game if you saw our early text convos

[cobalt swift]

also, since many people here have been making species list ideas for Hell Creek, im gonna make one too
Map Idea #2: Late Cretaceous Montana (66 Million Years Ago)
Species List:

1. Avisaurus archibaldi (Class 1)
2. Potamornis skutchi (Class 1)
3. Didelphodon vorax (Class 2)
4. Palaeosaniwa canadensis (Class 3)
5. Thescelosaurus neglectus (Class 4)
6. Acheroraptor temertyorum (Class 4)
7. Pectinodon bakkeri (Class 5)
8. Brachychampsa montana (Class 6)
9. Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis (Class 7)
10. Ornithomimus velox (Class 8)
11. Anzu wyliei (Class 8)
12. Denversaurus schlessmani (Class 10)
13. Ankylosaurus magniventris (Class 10)
14. Triceratops prorsus (Class 10)
15. Tyrannosaurus rex (Class 10)
16. Edmontosaurus annectens (Class 10)

[snow sandal]

Achero is probably unnecessary, same with denversaurus and trier

[orchid parrot]

We're going to need some real big weapons for those, I've heard of a .700 nitro express, I think that would be an awesome weapon for these dinos

[craggy cypress]

I would love to have a more reptilian map but I would also love to see a mammalian map without dinos

[cobalt swift]

well you gotta think tho, the denversaurus and anky situation is similar to the sambar deer and rusa deer situation on emerald coast in COTW. i'll remove trier, but im gonna leave achero be due to the fact that it's the only dromaeosaurid on the map

[orchid parrot]

@cobalt swift I agree

[snow sandal]

Achero and pectinodon are the same tho

[cobalt swift]

agreed. i actually would love to see the first like 5 or 6 maps just be Cenozoic era maps with mammals

[orchid parrot]

@cobalt swift agreed

[dark stag]

No, Pectinodon is a troodont

[cobalt swift]

nah they ain't. achero is a dromaeosaurid, and pectinodon is a troodontid

[severe anchor]

I just listed a few possible species

[cobalt swift]

that and a Bighorn Armory AR500 would be nice too

[orchid parrot]

Yeah

[cobalt swift]

i think a .50 cal hunting rifle would be nice to see too

[snow sandal]

As in they are very similar in-game. Small speedy theropods

[dark stag]

They would most likely behave differently

[craggy cypress]

Just so everyone knows, I’m very glad to have this many people in support with this idea, I just think it’ll take over 150 to get it considered so rally the troops and bump this up!

[edgy dirge]

Yeah, for example Pectinodon would likely be more active at night, while Acheroraptor could be diurnal or active mosly at dawn and dusk

[cobalt swift]

here's another map idea
Map Idea #3: Pleistocene Siberia (40,000 Years Ago)

Extinct Animals:

1. Tarpan (Equus ferus ferus) (Class 6)
2. Cave Bear (Ursus spelaeus) (Class 7)
3. Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus) (Class 8)
4. Steppe Lion (Panthera spelaea) (Class 9)
5. Steppe Bison (Bison priscus) (Class 9)
6. Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) (Class 10)
7. Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) (Class 10)

---

Living Animals:

1. Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) (Class 1)
2. Mountain Hare (Lepus timidus) (Class 1)
3. Saiga Antelope (Saiga tatarica) (Class 4)
4. Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) (Class 5)
5. Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) (Class 6)
6. Musk Ox (Ovibos moschatus) (Class 9)

alright, that's the last map idea for tonight

[craggy cypress]

Can someone get some multi mounts going on this? Love the species you chose. It’d be epic to hunt Irish Elk!

[cobalt swift]

agreed! i love Irish Elk

[cobalt swift]

we can do this y'all!

[cobalt swift]

actually, i take that back. i'll make a few more after dinner

[edgy dirge]

dunno where these are from but Metridiochoerus are similar to boar. Indricotherium, Brontotherium (I believe its invalid now but still), Argentavis, Daeodon, Kelenken... So many prehistoric mammals and birds. Dodos could be an upland bird lmao

[cobalt swift]

yeah the possibilites for animals and maps for this potential game are endless. it's pretty insane

[snow sandal]

megatron, what are you working on nexxt

[cobalt swift]

oh yeah i went ahead and also added in Neochoerus

[cobalt swift]

gonna be making an American Mastodon icon next

[dark stag]

Metridiochoerus are pretty much Giant Warthogs from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of Africa

[edgy dirge]

Thank you! I'm more of a Mesozoic dude so I'm still learning where and when things are from :)

[cobalt swift]

currently looking at pictures of them rn, and i want them so badly XD

[edgy dirge]

Right? Theyre gnarly as hell

[dark stag]

For Early to Mid Pleistocene Africa you got
• Giant Warthogs and Baboons
• Rusingaoryx & Giant Hartebeest
• Giant Hippos and Giant Crocodiles
• Natidemri Lions, Scimitar-tooth Cats & Dinofelis
• Pachycrocuta Hyena
• Deinotherium (Chin-tusk)
• Several other species of prehistoric elephants
• Sivatherium
• Giant Buffalo (Pelorovis)

[cobalt swift]

Loxodonta atlantica could be one of the prehistoric elephants

[dark stag]

I also just remembered there were a couple species of prehistoric zebra

Another elephant would be Palaeoloxodon recki

[edgy dirge]

Is Gompotherium earlier than that or around the same time? Also Palaeoloxodon was a UNIT

[cobalt swift]

earlier

[dark stag]

Earlier then the Pleistocene

There was Notiomastodon and Cuvieronius of South America during the Pleistocene

[mellow tartan]

Oooh we’ve gotta have a map with South Americas unique species

[cobalt swift]

agreed

Smilodon populator could definitely be one of the species for that

[dark stag]

There was also a giant jaguar from the area (Panthera onca mesembrina)

Various ground sloths
Even it’s own large deer like Morenelaphus, Antifer & Agalmaceros (Morenelaphus is on the left of this image alongside Toxodon, Smilodon and Eremotherium)

[cobalt swift]

i was about to mention Panthera onca mesembrina

pretty cool animal

Megatherium could maybe work too

as well as Macrauchenia

[edgy dirge]

SA had a giant river otter toom, right? dunno when that was though

[dark stag]

Those Amazonian Water Demons

They are still around terrorizing piranhas and small caiman

[edgy dirge]

Fr? I thought there was an extinct genus that was even bigger

[viscid fern]

2 games?

[dark stag]

There were giant otters on Sardinia during the Pleistocene

[cobalt swift]

TheHunter Primal and Second Extinction

[craggy cypress]

Thank you. Forgot the names

[somber bough]

If they made this game I'd buy it so fast.

[cobalt swift]

agreed

[somber bough]

A Ghost Ranch themed hunting location would work out good:
Coelophysis - Class 4
Postosuchus - Class 9
Placerias - Class 6
Effigia - Class 2
Shuvosaurus - Class 2
Protome - Class 8
Desmatosuchus - Class 8
Various Prosauropod Species - Class 9 or higher
Various species of small mammal - Class 1
Caelestiventus - Class 1

---

Living Animals:

1. Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) (Class 5)
2. Yacare Caiman (Caiman yacare) (Class 5)

yeah definitely not the best possible map idea in terms of the number of species, but it had some interesting animals

[dark stag]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Venta_(Colombia)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Group,_Colombia

All Miocene South America

alright, that's enough map suggestions for tonight lol

[cobalt swift]

we're at 30 upvotes y'all!

[long talon]

If they make this game, Noone gonna play theHunter cotw anymore lol ... BUT IM DOWN!!!

[cobalt swift]

idk people would still probably play COTW

[long talon]

Just reading this map animal lists, and if they make it in better engine then cotw ... yea ... I'm playing this more lol

[cobalt swift]

yeah many of us in here will make species list ideas for potential maps, so stay tuned for any future ones we make

[viscid fern]

Or the primal era

[cobalt swift]

that'd be neat too

[viscid fern]

I can also help with prehistoric creature lists and maps

Maybe an African map because it kept most of its megafauna from the ice age

Or a south east Asia with gigantopithecus

[snow sandal]

Bro @cobalt swift something’s going on because I think this is the highest upvoted feedback 💀 nvm it isn’t

[tardy aspen]

i really want them to bring back thehunter primal

[errant mirage]

I've got an idea for a Mesozoic map based on Cretaceous Mongolia as there's many well known and interesting species:

Map Idea: Late Cretaceous Mongolia (66 million years ago)
Species List:
Mononykus olecranus (Class 1)
Halzkaraptor escuillei (Class 1)
Oviraptor philoceratops (Class 3)
Velociraptor mongoliensis (Class 3)
Citipati osmolkae (Class 3)
Prenocephale prenes (Class 3)
Protoceratops andrewsi (Class 4)
Alioramus remotus (Class 8)
Gallimimus butallus (Class 8)
Barsboldia sicinskii (Class 10)
Tarchia tumanovae (Class 10)
Saurolophus osborni (Class 10)
Therizinosaurus cheliformis (Class 10)
Deinocheirus mirificus (Class 10)
Tarbosaurus bataar (Class 10)

[mellow tartan]

Oooh that sounds fun

[errant mirage]

Yeah Cretaceous mongolia is honestly packed with many species but i added the ones people know and love and some underrated ones

Therizinosaurus and Deinocherius will definitely be the two most dangerous herbivores on this map

[severe anchor]

Inspired by @cobalt swift, I made a tyrannosaurus icon. Icons based off the skull of the animal would be a nice way to separate this game from theHunter: COTW

Whipped up a triceratops icon too

[mellow tartan]

That is beautiful

[severe anchor]

Let me fix the classes:

Mononykus - Class 1
Halszkaraptor - Class 1
Oviraptor - Class 2
Velociraptor - Class 2
Prenoceohale - Class 3
Corythoraptor - Class 3
Protoceratops - Class 4
Gallimimus - Class 5
Alioramus - Class 5/6
Saurolophus - Class 6
Tarbosaurus - Class 7
Barsboldia - Class 8
Deinocheirus - Class 8
Therizinosaurus - Class 8
Tarchia - Class 9

You made a lot of dinosaurs a few classes higher than they should be such as alioramus, Tarbosaurus and gallimimus especially. Ornithomimids would not be nearly as tanky as you listed, neither would the theropods considering a lot of them besides tyrannosaurids are pretty light. Take Dilophosaurus for an example. It’s 20-ish feet long and only weighed about 400 kilograms

[errant mirage]

Ah i see, i was basing the classes off weight and size haha

[severe anchor]

I like the species list though

[errant mirage]

Thanks, but yeah your fix looks good made it a lot more balanced

[severe anchor]

Classes in this game would likely also be more broad, considering just how varied dinosaurs got in size, weight and durability.
Class 7 could encompass anything from nanuqsaurus/allosaurus to tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus.

[tardy aspen]

those two are stunning holy shit

[tardy aspen]

do you know how big a therizino or galli or parasaur is 💀 💀 they'd be at least class 8

[tardy aspen]

man the fact that they're skulls is seriously genius

[lone monolith]

Love it

[warm patrol]

Would love to see an Australia map featuring Thylacoleo carnifex, Megalania prisca, Thylacinus cynocephalus and more. Though I do wonder, would dingoes be on this list, or are they still a pretty young species in comparison?

[errant mirage]

I believe Dingoes were still domesticated dogs at this point, recently arrived with the Aboriginals of Aus

[warm patrol]

That's what I was thinking, thank you for confirming.

Would absolutely love a Cretaceous Mongolia map, by the way. Dare I even say that would be my primary hunting ground!?

[warm patrol]

May I make a suggestion for an animal to add to this list?

Ope nevermind its already on the list, didn't see until just now (I was going to suggest jaguars!)

[cobalt swift]

solid list. i like it 👍

[warm patrol]

May I suggest modern day elk to your list? Not sure exactly how old they are in comparison to the rest of the list but it'd be cool to see Tule elk or another elk species

[cobalt swift]

god DAMN dude. that's awesome!

[warm patrol]

I know this is for the game but may I use this as a pfp? I love this so much

[snow sandal]

The army grows

[severe anchor]

I made theri class 8 and made galli class 5. That should fix it

[severe anchor]

Thanks dude ❤️

[severe anchor]

I can make you a custom pfp I’d you’d like

[heady orchid]

If we’re focusing on the Pleistocene they could add modern animals like fallow and red deer since they lived at the same time as mammoths and all that

[severe anchor]

I’d rather they used solely extinct animals for this game. If I wanted to hunt fallow and red deer I’d play COTW

[warm patrol]

No need to.

[warm patrol]

I understand where you're coming from, but I'd also like some inclusion of extant species. While the primary focus should absolutely be extinct animals, the inclusion of some extant animals can be a way to educate folks.

[cobalt swift]

agreed

[severe anchor]

Feel free to use the T. rex one then, I don’t mind at all

[cobalt swift]

Map Idea #6: Late Jurassic Wyoming (146 Million Years Ago)

1. Priacodon ferox (Class 1)
2. Kepodactylus insperatus (Class 3)
3. Nanosaurus agilis (Class 3)
4. Dryosaurus altus (Class 4)
5. Ornitholestes hermanni (Class 4)
6. Camptosaurus dispar (Class 9)
7. Ceratosaurus nasicornis (Class 10)
8. Allosaurus fragilis (Class 10)
9. Stegosaurus stenops (Class 10)
10. Torvosaurus tanneri (Class 10)
11. Camarasaurus supremus (Class 10)
12. Diplodocus carnegii (Class 10)
13. Apatosaurus ajax (Class 10)
14. Barosaurus lentus (Class 10)
15. Supersaurus vivianae (Class 10)
16. Brachiosaurus altithorax (Class 10)

[severe anchor]

Ceratosaurus would NOT be a class 10

[dark stag]

Class 8 or 9 maybe

[severe anchor]

We gotta remember that the class system should be altered to better fit the diverse sizes that dinosaurs can be

[dark stag]

So most sauropods should be a class higher then class 10

Class 11 - Most Sauropods

[severe anchor]

Here’s my thoughts on what the class system should look like:

Potential Class 0 - Small mammals such as rodents and prehistoric birds
Class 1 - Fox and wolf sized mammals, small birds and reptiles
Class 2 - small-medium sized Dromaesauruds, small ornithomimids
Class 3 - Medium-large ornithomimids, large dromaesaurids, very small theropods, small ornithopods
Class 4 - small theropods, small ornithopods, large deer-sized mammals
Class 5 - Medium sized theropods such as dilophosaurus, cryolophosaurus, medium sized ornithopods like camptosaueus
Class 6 - Medium-large theropods like ceratosaurus, alioramius. Larger hadrosaurs such as maiasaura, small stegosaurids
Class 7 - Large theropods like allosaurus, medium and large stegosaurids, small ceratopsians
Class 8 - The largest of theropods like tyrannosaurus, medium-large ornithopods like edmontosaurus and lambeosaurus, medium sized ceratopsians such as styracosaurus
Class 9 - Largest hadrosaurs, large ceratopsians, ankylosaurids and very small sauropods
Class 10 - entirely composed of sauropods

Alternatively, I’d rather there’s no class system at all and each gun just has a list of animals it can take ethically, making the caliber you choose vital for the reserve you plan to hunt on

[dark stag]

This is why there should be two separate Prehistoric Hunting Games

One that focuses on Cenozoic Animals

One that focuses on Mesozoic Animals

[severe anchor]

You can’t think of COTW standards when classing animals in this game. This game has its own standards considering just how much larger the game species would get compared to the biggest species in COTW like buffalo and bison

[dark stag]

That is why I stuck with Cenozoic and more specifically Pleistocene animals myself

It allows one to keep with the class system of COTW while having prehistoric animals

And the largest land mammals known would be the upper limit of animals for the Cenozoic anyways (Palaeoloxodon namadicus, Paraceratherium, etc)

Plus it seems like this post was originally meant to focus on prehistoric mammals anyways

[severe anchor]

I really want a Mesozoic based hunting game. Plus, this is the only active suggestion regarding a prehistoric hunting game

[dark stag]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1120790579329122304
Now we just gotta make that one active

[cobalt swift]

alright y'all, since moosedragon set up this forum, we're gonna only use this forum for cenozoic map ideas

we'll put mesozoic map ideas in moosedragon's forum

[snow sandal]

@cobalt swift welcome back

[cobalt swift]

hello

[main light]

I would like this as a special DLC, where we have reworked existing maps with either prehistoric set up or 18th century set up, as this one could work for the savannah, letting us hunt elephant and rhinos as there was no regulatiin back then

[dark stag]

A separate game would be easier and better

[lone monolith]

Agreed

[viscid fern]

I think instead of a whole new Game add a Prehistoic Map DlC and lodge that the animals can go in and only that lodge

[dark stag]

I disagree

[viscid fern]

dlc be better and more people would have access to it

[dark stag]

But a separate game would allow for a load of new features

[viscid fern]

they could get added with a dlc as well....

[dark stag]

Not really, and this late in the games life cycle I doubt it would be worth the trouble

[cobalt swift]

i agree with this. it would be better if it was a whole new game instead of a DLC for COTW

[lone monolith]

cotw is already 6+ years old with limited software.. it could barely generate waterfalls for theAngler. Very outdated.

It can't handle cross-platform play either, which people really want. It would be better to make its own game.

[viscid fern]

crossplay isnt the best thing made yes its cool but then pc players can cheat and spawn stuff in for xbox players

[lone monolith]

With the amount of effort it would take to make something like this (completely new animals & plants to model) & hours of research the devs would have to do, it would have to be a new game & priced as such to make up for costs.
Just 2 maps would costs thousands of $$$ and hours of time to make. It wouldn't be worth it cost-wise to make it dlc.

Imagine if they made a survival mode (which can't be done with cotw)
Where you have to eat & survive freezing temperatures. Or Hard mode where you're limited to only bows & spears.

[lone monolith]

People cheat on console already

[crisp lotus]

They can trade, copy animals and using glitches but can’t fly, spawn diamonds, get cash or stop recoil until they jailbreak their console, and if they did they will not be able to play online. So we’re safe now.

[viscid fern]

copy animals? i know trading and glitches are a thing.

[cobalt swift]

i went ahead and added in the Carolina Parakeet to this list too

[mellow tartan]

It’ll be like pheasant and ptarmigan,love it

[dark stag]

Ring-necked Pheasants?
That seems out of place in Pleistocene North America

What about Sage Grouse?

[cobalt swift]

i'll replace the pheasant with sage grouse

[viscid fern]

i dont think theyd make an entirely new game for it but maybe this would be like an expansion

[severe anchor]

I’d rather an entirely new game over just one or two DLC reserves

[cobalt swift]

agreed

[viscid fern]

id like this tho so long as it dont turn out with 5 billion DLCs

also can anyone tell me where i can find this

[dark stag]

Since people have a hard time finding this thread (they keep jumping into https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1120790579329122304 just to say they don’t want a Dinosaur hunting game)

I am bumping this up so they can find it

[civic wave]

Ouch. I´ll do it rn

[civic wave]

Map Idea #1: Eamian interglacial (Pleistocene) Hirschfelden
(Rehused) Living Animals:
Red Fox (Class 1)
Roe Deer (Class 3)
Wild Boar (Class 4)
Fallow deer (Class 4)
Red deer (Class 6)
Extinct
Macaca sylvanus (Class 1)
Cuon alpinus fossilis (Class 2)
Equus steinheimensis (Class 4)
Bison schoetensacki (Class 6)
Praeovibos schmidtgeni (Class 6)
Crocuta crocuta praespelaea (Class 6)

Stephanorhinus etruscus (Class 9)
Hippopotamus amphibius antiquus (Class 9)
Palaeoloxodon antiquus (Class 9)
Mammuthus trogontherii (Class 9)

[ornate magnet]

There isn't any class 10s though

[civic wave]

Right, corrected. Also maybe red deer should be downgraded to class 4 and roe to class 2 (In this example)

(I think that the 2 maps that would benefict more of a Paleo Version can be Emerald Coast and Te Awaroa)

[dark stag]

Emerald Coast, sure it could

Pleistocene and Miocene Australia both have a wide array of unique species that could work
As for New Zealand, it is a land of birds for obvious reason and a Pleistocene-Holocene Te Awaroa would be mostly different species of Moa plus some other birds

Now if it was based on the Bannockburn Formation, you could squeeze in some small to medium sized reptiles (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Bathans_fauna)

After all I did say Cenozoic, that means everything from the Paleocene Epoch (Titanoboa) to the Early Holocene (before 5000 years ago at least) as some species like the giant African Buffalo Syncerus antiquus lived as recently as 4,000 BCE in North Africa

[civic wave]

I also tought on the La Meseta Formation, Eocene of Antarctica. But I need to relocate faunal sizes to stablish the list

[deep jasper]

Should there be some interaction woth prehistoric people like the clovis or neanderthal? And early proto domestic dogs would be cool

[dark stag]

No prehistoric people please

[deep jasper]

No npt hunting them more like finding messages 9r such from them

[dark stag]

Just stop with that particular topic

You want prehistoric primates, there are many species that are not even in our genus group like Gigantopithecus (largest apes ever, related to Orangutans), Dinopithecus (Giant Baboons) and Cartelles (Giant Howler Monkeys that likely lived in a similar manner too Baboons)

Images in Order: Gigantopithecus, Dinopithecus & Cartelles

[light terrace]

I'd love to see a prehistoric hunting game with Ice age creatures essentially but I don't know about dinosaurs

[queen summit]

I’d Like A Rancho La Brea Type Map In This Game, With Short-Faced Bears (Arctodus Simus), Smilodon, Homotherium, Columbian Mammoths, Hagerman Horses, And Dire Wolves.

[dark stag]

I’ll be presenting an idea for a Eocene/Oligocene area from North Africa soon

The main star of that area will be this guy and that is all I will say for now

Edit: This is Arsinotherium, forgot to add that

[echo creek]

*** PLEASE NO HUNTING GENUS HOMO SUGGESTIONS OR ANYTHING ALIKE ADDED TO POST PLEASE*** nobody wants it and it's not needed please abide to this warning or consequences will happen thank you

[echo creek]

cave painting/texts and such would be cool could even give missions

Like there could be talk of this large aggressive sabertooth or cave lion or something in that case that was terrorizing the tribe and it gives the rough region of where it lived and you could try to track it down and hunt it

[queen summit]

Isn’t That Called Megacerops?

[dark stag]

No, that is Arsinotherium

[queen summit]

Ah, Those Weird Prehistoric Rhino Things Always Mess Me Up, Unless It’s Paraceratherium/Indricotherium

[deep jasper]

Or set camera traps and study hunting and camp sites

If theres one in NA it would most likeky be la but seeing george mcjunkins buffalo kill site in Folsom would be cool

[cobalt swift]

i didn't know it was MedVed. I thought it was Revontuli. That's what i meant tho

[queen summit]

I Take It That Chendytes Lawi Is A Waterfowl Species Of Some Kind?

[cobalt swift]

yeah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chendytes you can read more about it here

[queen summit]

Nice. Honestly There’s So Many Places That A New theHunter: Primal Could Have, Especially Somewhere Like La Brea Or The Channel Islands. California Is A Crazy Hotbed Of Prehistoric Life.

[cobalt swift]

yeah. depending on what would happen, La Brea and the Channel Islands could possibly even be combined into one map, or you could see La Brea from the Channel Islands/see the Channel Islands from La Brea since the Channel Islands are located off the coast of Los Angeles

[queen summit]

I Think That A Combined Map Would Be Nice

[cobalt swift]

yeah

the only issue is that if we combined the species from both my Channel Islands idea and your La Brea idea, the combined map would have 31 species, which i feel like would be too much for one map unless the map was giant in comparison to COTW's maps

[queen summit]

Yeah That Would Be A LOT Of Species. Idk If EW Could Handle That.

[cobalt swift]

yeah

[cobalt swift]

you could maybe include Panthera onca augusta too. It was a giant Jaguar that lived in North America during the Pleistocene

[queen summit]

I Was Thinking Of That, But I Put The American Lion Instead

[cobalt swift]

Making your own posts instead of posting in this thread would probably get a lot more recognition

[cobalt swift]

eh there's not really a point in making a new thread if we already have this thread

[weak siren]

well the EW guys would actually take the suggestions. usually they dont reply to posts from inside threads

[cobalt swift]

i don't really see these as full-on suggestions, but rather just speculation as to what a Cenozoic hunting game made by EW would be like

hopefully EW takes some of the ideas in this thread into consideration though to create a new game

[weak siren]

Oh so a separate game? that might be cool. But they should make a $10 discount for cotw players lol

[cobalt swift]

yeah lol

[weak siren]

Mind if I take some of these suggestions and post them with credits to you?

[cobalt swift]

sure

also, whenever you post them, can you tie them back to this thread so that people can ready everyone else's ideas?

[weak siren]

ok ill try, but dont know if that's possible. if it's not, ill just say "go to A new prehistoric game thread for more" or smth like that

[cobalt swift]

you can just do this: #1120394592265719950

[weak siren]

Oh so I copy channel ID?

[cobalt swift]

yeah. do it like how you would mention a normal channel, where you put a hashtag in front of it

Species wise the only thing I would add to the list is the South Island Adzebill

Similar to the moas but predatory, eating lizards, small birds, tuataras and invertebrates

[cobalt swift]

alright

[dark stag]

They are not very big so Class 3 or 4

yeah

[cobalt swift]

since i've come back with some new ideas for this forum, i'm reviving #1121138205656367258, a forum i created a while ago for the prehistoric fishing game. i only made one map idea for it alongside some stuff for weapon classes and some of the gear that could be in the game, and i want to make more ideas for it. i'll also probably be adding some new ideas to #1120790579329122304 here soon

[queen summit]

You Should Just Make An Entire Server Dedicated To Prehistoric Hunting/Fishing Ideas. I’d 100% Join That.

[cobalt swift]

i mean, i could, but even if i did, i wouldn't be able to post the server invite here

[queen summit]

True, But There’s Other Servers Where You Are Able To Post And Share It, Plus I’d Share It On Mine.

[cobalt swift]

true

i'll think about it

[weak siren]

I could make it and dm the invite to both of yas

[marble basalt]

how can i download hunter primal

[cobalt swift]

if you're talking about a Cenozoic hunting game, then it doesn't exist, but if you're talking about the old dinosaur hunting game, then i think there might be some websites you can buy and download the game from. be careful though because those websites could scam you if you're not careful

[marble basalt]

there is new update or just old graphique

[cobalt swift]

the game hasn't been updated in years so the graphics are like TheHunter: Classic's graphics

[marble basalt]

ok thanks

[dark stag]

If this was just a bit closer to the Sonoran Desert/Gulf of California area you could easily get away with Giant Anteaters and American Crocodiles while keeping the other species on the list

[cobalt swift]

i might save those for a possible Pleistocene Baja California map idea

I would like to personally reccomend Muskox to be class 6 or 7 rather than nine, since they actually don't weigh nearly as much as people think. You might think they're the same weight as a cow but they're actually only 600-800 pounds on average. Maybe 950 in extremely rare cases?

For reference this is about the same weight as elk (a little less, acutally, as some elk can exceed 1,000 pounds)

Trophy Lodges and Mounts

Details

A prehistoric hunting game can offer thousands of different possibilities for trophy lodges and trophy mounts. This idea will explain of these several possibilities

Trophy Lodges
This game would offer players with several different trophy lodges, several based off of both real-life trophy lodges and museums. Is the player an avid real-life hunter? They could have a small log cabin with a few small mounts. Is the player a museum curator or has some other job at a museum? They could have a giant museum-like lodge that could fit several large multi-mounts. The possibilities are pretty much endless, and the many different designs players come up with their taxidermies and trophies would be quite fascinating to see

Trophy Mounts
Depending on the lodge, trophy lodges can have several different types of mounts, from small mounts that can fit a rabbit or duck, to giant multi-mounts that can fit multiple mammoths or giant ground sloths. Here's several of the mounts that the game could have:
Returning Mounts (Mounts in TheHunter: Call of the Wild):
Wall Mounts
Floor Mounts
Table Mounts (The small circular mounts that are on tables and shelves in the current lodges)
New Mounts:
Ceiling Mounts: "Mounts" that would be tight strings/ropes that hang from lodge ceilings. Only birds and other airborne animals can be placed on these mounts
Cliff Mounts: Wall mounts that are rocky and cliff-like. These are full-body mounts, and many different animals could be placed on these mounts
Scenery Mounts: Giant mounts that can fit multiple animals, like the giant displays you'd see at a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops

Below are images showing what I'm talking about, including both taxidermy displays and museum displays

Trophy Types

Details

This suggestion will add onto my previous suggestion about the different types of trophy lodges and trophy mounts that could be in this game, with this suggestion talking about the many different kinds of trophies that you could put in said lodges

Normal Trophies
Normal trophies are trophies you'd see in any other hunting game, which are head mounts or full body mounts

European Mounts
European mounts are a kind of taxidermy that feature the skull of an animal. They are very common in real life, as they are easy to make and can be placed in many different areas. The game could feature European mounts for many animals. These mounts could also be painted with custom designs, which is something in real life too. To a greater extant, this could be done for the whole body, showcasing entire skeletons of several animals in the game

Fossils
Fossils really need no introduction, so I won't explain what they are. In the game, fossils could be randomly "generated" and found on maps. However, the kinds of fossils that can be found on each map would be a bit restricted to both time and location. For example: You can't find a Deinotherium fossil in a map that takes place in Oligocene North America, as Deinotherium didn't exist during or before the Oligocene and never lived in North America. However, you could find a Deinotherium fossil on a map that takes place in Pleistocene Europe, as Deinotherium lived in Europe before the Pleistocene. Fossils could range from small fragments of teeth to complete skeletons

Below are images showing what I'm talking about

[cobalt swift]

Collectibles

Details

Collectibles are a kind of decor that could be added to trophy lodges in this hypothetical game idea. Collectibles are things you would find out in the environment while on a hunt, and if you find them interesting, then you can bring them back to your lodge and put them on display. The kinds of collectibles you would find on a map would depend on what map you're on, just like the fossils you could find on maps. Collectibles differ from the fossils that I put in my "Trophy Types" suggestion, mainly because fossils would work as trophies in this game (ANIMALS FOSSILS WOULD BE TROPHIES. Plant fossils would be collectibles).

The kinds of collectibles that would be in the game include, but are for sure not limited to the following:
Plant Fossils
Deer Antler Sheds
Tools and other gear from early humans/hominids (Spears, axes, arrowheads, clothing, other prehistoric artifacts, and etc.)
Shells from animals that recently died (Turtles, armadillos, and etc.)
Rocks/Stones
Gems/Gemstones, and other Minerals (Diamonds, Quartz, Sapphires, and etc.)
Giant tree branches/Fallen tree trunks/Leaves/Pinecones and etc.

Depending on how lodge customization would work in this game, you could use the collectibles you could find on hunts to spice up your trophy mounts. For example, if you found a giant tree branch while on a hunt, then you could turn it into a mount with some full-body taxidermies of an extinct primate species or some other tree dwelling animal, or maybe you have a deer head mount you really like that you want to spruce up, then you could maybe get some leaves and put them on the mount. Maybe you found a giant rock on a map and you want to put a Smilodon fossil skeleton you found, you'd be able to do it

imagine finding an Irish Elk antler shed

Great Ones and Ancient Ones

Details

Great One and Ancient Ones are two potential scoring classes that could be included in this hypothetical game. I will be discussing these two ideas here

Great Ones
Great Ones need no introduction if you play TheHunter: Call of the Wild. In this game, Great Ones would only apply to extant species (species that are still alive), which would include stuff like Whitetail Deer, Black Bears, Moose, and much more. Some Great One fur types and antler/horn types could be transferred from TheHunter: Call of the Wild into this hypothetical game, along with the addition of new fur/antler/horn types

Ancient Ones
Ancient Ones are the same thing as a Great One, but are a little different. Ancient Ones would only be for extinct species rather than living species. This would apply to most of the animals in the game, since most of the species in this game are obviously extinct species. Designs for Ancient One fur/antler/horn/tusk/etc. types would obviously be inspired by Great Ones

Below are some images of Great Ones in TheHunter: Call of the Wild, as well as animal designs from other media that could potentially inspire designs for some of the Ancient Ones

[grand oriole]

I do not want fantasy world animals in COTW.

[cobalt swift]

i mean, Great Ones are already in COTW so i don't see an issue with them being in this hypothetical game

plus they're extremely rare so it's not like your gonna see them all the time

[magic wave]

Not fantasy either, these all existed, unlike great one

[cobalt swift]

these animals wouldn't be in COTW itself anyways. this forum is for discussing our ideas of a prehistoric hunting game set in the Cenozoic era made by EW

[light loom]

Four tuskers have happened in the past

A four tusked mammoth would be fun to target

[cobalt swift]

Yeah

And there’s plenty of extinct elephants that had 4 tusks too, like Stegotetrabelodon

[grand oriole]

I know Megaloceros existed, of course. Two great ones are from those prehistoric species.

[light terrace]

That's cool apparently that games got alot of like crazy animal and dinosaur models

Pleistocene Longbows

Details

Humans have been using bows for thousands of years, whether it be for hunting, warfare, or to compete in competitions. The first uses of bows though were for hunting, and bows were created by early humans for the purpose of hunting as early as 72,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene. During this time, bows were very primitive in comparison to today, and were usually made of wood or some other strong material and a string, with arrows being made out of wood and arrowheads being made of stone, bone or other hard materials. I will explain my ideas for Pleistocene Longbows for this game idea.

The game would offer 3 Pleistocene Longbows made of 3 different types of wood. These different types of wood would be based off of a continent/continents to some degree (even if said wood can be found on a different continent too). Just like different variants of weapons in TheHunter: Call of the Wild, these three variants would all work the same, and are rather available for personal preference:

1. Oak Pleistocene Longbow (North American Variant)
2. Pine Pleistocene Longbow (European/Asian Variant)
3. Acacia Pleistocene Longbow (African Variant)

---

Two different types of arrows would be available for the Pleistocene Longbows:
Stone-tipped Arrows, which are classes 1 - 5
Ivory-tipped Arrows, which are classes 6 - 10
Stone-tipped Arrows would be used for smaller animals like birds, rabbits, Wild Boars, and etc, while Ivory-tipped Arrows would be used on larger animals like Mammoths, Woolly Rhinoceros, Irish Elk, Reindeer, and etc.

Below are images of Pleistocene Longbows, Arrows, and Arrowheads

Starter Maps

Details

Starter maps are maps that are released with a game upon the game's release (or in more simpler terms, maps that aren't DLC's released after the game's launch). Most hunting games have about 2 starter maps, with 2 examples being TheHunter: Call of the Wild and Way of the Hunter. TheHunter: Call of the Wild's starter maps are Hirschfelden and Layton Lakes, while Way of the Hunter's starter maps are Nez Perce Valley and Transylvania. Due to this, I imagine that TheHunter: Primal would have 2 starter maps too. I have these starter maps listed below.

TheHunter: Primal Starter Maps:
Mammoth Steppe (Pleistocene France, 30,000 years ago. The map idea can be found here: #1120394592265719950 message)
La Brea Tar Pits (Pleistocene Los Angeles, 20,000 years ago. The map idea can be found here: #1120394592265719950 message)

I've chosen these two maps as starter maps for certain reasons. This is mainly due to the time and animal roster of both maps. Both maps take place during the Pleistocene, which is easily one of, if not the most popular epoch of the Cenozoic era due to the infamous Late Pleistocene Ice Ages. Now for animal rosters: I've included the Mammoth Steppe because it has some of the most infamous Pleistocene megafauna, including Woolly Mammoths, Irish Elk, Woolly Rhinoceros, Cave Lions, and Cave Bears. I included the La Brea Tar Pits for similar reasons and also the fact that it's one of the world's best Pleistocene paleontological sites. Some of the animals on this map's roster include Columbian Mammoths, Dire Wolves, Ancient Bison, Smilodon fatalis, and American Lions.

y'all can make your own ideas for what maps should be this game's starter maps. these are just my ideas anyways

[cobalt swift]

TruCOLUMBI

Details

Here, I will explain my ideas for a TruRACS system for the Columbian Mammoth, or Mammuthus columbi (Which is actually my favorite extinct animal!) In this idea, we will explore the many possibilities for these different variations, the different difficulty levels, and many other mechanics of the TruCOLUMBI system

TruCOLUMBI Difficulty Levels: 1: Trivial - 9: Legendary
TruCOLUMBI Silver Score Minimum: 500.00
TruCOLUMBI Gold Score Minimum: 760.00
TruCOLUMBI Diamond Score Minimum: 1000.00
TruCOLUMBI Diamond Score Maximum: 2000.00
TruCOLUMBI Minimum Weight (Male) 9 US tons (18,000 lb)
TruCOLUMBI Maximum Weight (Male) 13 US tons (26,000 lb)
TruCOLUMBI Minimum Weight (Female) 7 US tons (14,000 lb)
TruCOLUMBI Maximum Weight (Female) 9 US tons (18,000 lb)

Below are some images of the several possible variations for Columbian Mammoths that could be implemented, ranging from variation in the tusks, skull shape, and body size. 5th image is kind of outdated because it places M. columbi into the now invalid genus "Parelephas" and lists M. columbi as multiple different species, but it'll still work because it shows pretty good skull variation amongst individuals

24. Steppe Bison (Bison priscus) (Class 9)
25. American Mastodon (Mammut americanum) (Class 10)
26. Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) (Class 10)

[cobalt swift]

fun fact about Beringia since I just made a map idea for it; stable isotope studies done on Woolly Mammoth bones found on both sides of Beringia have actually shown that the climate of western Beringia (Russian side) was much harsher than that of eastern Beringia (Alaskan side), which caused western Beringia to have less ecological diversity than eastern Beringia. this is why my Alaskan Side map idea for Beringia has a lot more species than my Russian side map idea for Beringia!

Fossil Dig Sites

Details

Fossil dig sites would be locations set up by players on maps. These dig sites are pretty self-explanatory: They're locations set up specifically to find and excavate fossils. In this suggestion, we will explain the many details of fossil dig sites for the game idea. (For more info on fossils, go to these #1120394592265719950 message #1120394592265719950 message)

Location and Size
Fossil dig sites can be set up anywhere on a map. When you set up a dig site, it works like an outpost or a tent in TheHunter: Call of the Wild (you can fast travel to it, switch out gear for hunting and fossil excavation, and change the time). At a dig site, as you dig and excavate, the terrain will change depending on where you dig. Once you take down a dig site, the terrain will be reverted back to the way it was before you set up the dig site. Dig sites can range heavily in size, being as small as a box and as large as a few acres.

Fossil Contents
The kinds of fossils you can find at a dig site mainly depend on what map you're on and how big your dig site is (You can go to #1120394592265719950 message to check out some more details about fossils on maps). For example, if you set up a tiny dig site on a map in Miocene Peru, all you're going to find is fossils like shark teeth and maybe a penguin skeleton, but if you set up a dig site a few acres in size in Pleistocene North America, you'll probably find a few mammoth skeletons and several other Pleistocene megafauna

Below are images of real life fossil dig sites

[dusky dagger]

i would pay to have this dlc

[onyx arch]

what about elk and shiras moose? or pronghorn relatives

[cobalt swift]

Shiras Moose could maybe work. i dunno about Elk tho (afaik Elk didn't arrive into the lower parts of North America until around 15,000 years ago). As for antilocaprids (pronghorn relatives), they could definitely work. i just didn't put them on my roster. feel free to make your own Lake Bonneville idea if you want!

[onyx arch]

well im not a pre historic expert just asking

[cobalt swift]

ah

[dark stag]

Moose are also late arrivals if I recall correctly and are part of the reason the stag-moose Cervalces scotti went extinct

[cobalt swift]

thought so

i think that's the same deal with Odocoileus lucasi and Elk. i believe Odocoileus lucasi filled the niche Elk fill nowadays and the time when Elk came in is around the same time O. lucasi went extinct

[dark stag]

Even if Pleistocene megafuna like mastodon, sabre-tooths and ground sloths did survive into the modern day, its likely that animals like the Stag Moose and Mountain Deer would either go extinct or be pushed into less suitable habitat while Moose & Elk take up the prime habitat

[cobalt swift]

yeah

[cobalt swift]

Fossil Preparation Labs

Details

Fossil Preparation Labs are optional (When I say optional, I mean if you don't want to look for fossils and just want to hunt) features that you can add to your trophy lodges. I'll be explaining how they work in this idea.

Fossil Preparation Labs would be rooms you can add to your trophy lodge if you so choose. In these labs, you can import fossils you've excavated on maps (it would work similar to the saved harvests menu in TheHunter: Call of the Wild) and restore them to their former glory, which will allow them to be ready to be displayed in your lodge alongside your trophies. The fossil preparation process would consist of many steps and you would use different tools for each step. Some of these steps would include removing bone from the matrix (rock), cleaning up the fossil, and then putting it back together. Once the fossil preparation process is over, you'll be able to display your fossils wherever you want in your lodge, just like a normal trophy. While the overall fossil hunting process would be optional for players, if you choose to also fossil hunt, this room would be necessary in order to display your fossils.

This idea can also be applied to Call of the Wild: Primal, TheAngler: Primal, and TheHunter: Paleozoic

Below are images of real life fossil preparation labs

im sorry if these suggestions about the fossil hunting process don't seem relevant enough to the game idea. i just think it would be so neat to have fossils that we've found displayed alongside our trophies lol

[heady orchid]

Should we regard paleo accurate versions of dinosaurs IF they were added

I personally think it would help them stand out from like ALL the other dinosaur designs in hunting games where they’re literally just JP dinosaurs but with slight differences , raptors especially look awful in the dinosaur hunting genre, they look like ugly naked eagles

When they look so much better with feathers and things like trex look so much more nicer with the chonk physique (which is actually muscle)

Photos are examples of what to do and what not to do given the hunter primal models look like inbred impostors

This mainly applies to the dinosaurs cus mammals are easier to know what they looked like and we have evidence from cave paintings for things like Irish elk and cave lions

[cobalt swift]

this is for the Cenozoic game idea. go to #1120790579329122304 for Mesozoic stuff. Also, im pretty sure that all of the extinct animals in the game ideas we have would be paleo accurate

[heady orchid]

Didn’t know there was a sub section

[cobalt swift]

ah, you must be new to these game ideas then. we got 5 game ideas set in the past: This one, which is Cenozoic hunting like i said, the one i directed you to (i like to personally call it Call of the Wild: Primal), which is Mesozoic hunting, #1121138205656367258, which is fishing in all eras of prehistory, #1130567081780326530, which is hunting during the 1400s all the way up to the early 2000s, and #1229142679129030726, which is Paleozoic era hunting

[cobalt swift]

ah. i had it set as a class 9 for some reason in one of my earlier suggestions. i'll go ahead and change it

wow 30 likes from 300. almost there!

[cobalt swift]

Been a while since I’ve made a logo for an animal (hell, my logos were what started this forum post), so I decided to make another one for the Ngandong Tiger (Panthera tigris soloensis)

[cobalt swift]

The Wanhsien Tiger (Panthera tigris acutidens). While it may look the same as the Ngandong Tiger logo, there are differences. I changed the stripes on this Tiger, as all tigers obviously have different stripes, and I added some more fur around the sides of the face, since I’m pretty sure Wanhsien Tigers lived in colder temperatures than Ngandong Tigers. This is probably all I’m gonna do with extinct tigers and these TheHunter: Call of the Wild logos for now. I’m going to start doing other animals now.

[cobalt swift]

im gonna be making a few Miocene map ideas in the coming days, so stay tuned for that. i just finished my first one and im about to post it!

Paratethys Coast

Details

Location: Kazakhstan (Asia)
Climate: To the northern part of the map is a small portion the Paratethys Megalake, a giant saltwater lake that expanded from western Europe to eastern Asia. On the coastline of the Paratethys are warm mangrove swamps. South of these swamps are dense forests, which eventually transition into lowlands dominated by grasslands, where many species of megafauna thrive
Datation: Miocene epoch, Neogene period, 11 million years ago
Side Note: This map idea is slightly inspired/based off of the image below. Species 1 is also speculative, and is mainly based on the fact that we've found duck fossils from the Miocene

Species List:

1. Paratethys Duck (Anatinae indet.) (Class 1)
2. Paratethys Pika (Alloptox sp.) (Class 1)
3. Paratethys Seal (Pinnipedia indet.) (Class 7)

Bug Catching

Details

Bug catching in real life doesn't really need too much of an explanation. In the game, bug catching would be the capture of mainly two groups of arthropods: Insects (Bees, Wasps, Flies, Crickets, Grasshoppers, and etc.) and Arachnids (Spiders, Scorpions, Harvestmen, Ticks, Mites, and etc.). In order to catch these animals, you'll need to use a bug net, which I have pictures of below. Once you catch a bug, you can either taxidermize it or keep it alive and put it in a terrarium (i'll make a separate idea for bug terrariums). Bug rosters on maps would be separate from the normal animal rosters of map ideas, and said bug rosters would be considered non-map ideas that would need to be linked to the original map idea. A map idea can only have a bug roster if it has at least one extinct insect or arachnid species. If it doesn't have at least one, then the map idea cannot have a bug roster and thus wouldn't have any bugs that could be caught. I could see many people not wanting this idea in a game like this, which is perfectly fine. I just came up with the idea to make the game a little more interesting and fun.

This idea can also be applied to Call of the Wild: Primal and TheHunter: Paleozoic

Below are images of real life bug nets and insect taxidermies

[cobalt swift]

Bug Terrariums

Details

I recommend reading my Bug Catching idea first before reading this: #1120394592265719950 message

In the game, bug terrariums would be a way to contain insects and arachnids that you want to keep alive/didn't taxidermize/didn't release. These terrariums could have a lot of customization features. First of all, you can put these terrariums wherever you want in your lodges. Terrariums could range heavily in size, being as small as a jar all the way to the size of a room. The environments inside of terrariums could also be customized however you want, and could range from tropical forests, cypress swamps, deserts, and much, much more. Just like the trophy lodge customization features, the possibilities for these terrariums are practically endless to some extent.

This idea can also be applied to Call of the Wild: Primal and TheHunter: Paleozoic

Below are images of real life bug terrariums and just terrariums in general

Infernum Sinum Ultima

Details

Location: Montana, United States (North America)
Climate: Warm redwood/cypress swamps and deltas with several deciduous and conifer forests
Datation: Paleocene epoch, Paleogene period, 65.5 million years ago
Side Note: The map's name is "Hell Creek Last" in Latin, since this map represents the final stage of the infamous Hell Creek Formation of Montana, which was the very beginning of the Paleocene epoch and the Cenozoic era overall. Since this is the Paleocene, there isn't any non-avian dinosaurs or other famous Hell Creek fauna (Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and so on)

[bronze jolt]

ues

[clever loom]

This would be a really good place to get some heavy rifles

[cobalt swift]

for sure

especially since we're dealing with stuff like mammoths (and several other extinct elephants), paraceratheres, brontotheres, and much more big game and megafauna

[cobalt swift]

Dried La Brea

---

Location: Los Angeles County, California, United States (North America)
Climate: Warm arid grasslands with some patches of scrubland many dried up tar pits. These tar pits were once the La Brea Tar Pits, and several of the tar pits are still present, but most of them are dried up. A really great map to fossil hunt due to the dried up tar pits, which contain thousands of fossils. Most of the infamous La Brea megafauna is extinct by this time, with only a few species being left, though that doesn't mean the map doesn't have it's fair share of biodiversity
Datation: Holocene epoch, Quaternary period, 10,500 years ago

TruPRIMIGENIUS

Details

Here, I will explain my ideas for a TruRACS system for the Woolly Mammoth, or Mammuthus primigenius. In this idea, we will explore the many possibilities for these different variations, the different difficulty levels, and many other mechanics of the TruPRIMIGENIUS system

TruPRIMIGENIUS Difficulty Levels: 1: Trivial - 9: Legendary
TruPRIMIGENIUS Silver Score Minimum: 450.00
TruPRIMIGENIUS Gold Score Minimum: 700.00
TruPRIMIGENIUS Diamond Score Minimum: 900.00
TruPRIMIGENIUS Diamond Score Maximum: 1500.00
TruPRIMIGENIUS Minimum Weight (Male) 4 US tons (8,000 lb)
TruPRIMIGENIUS Maximum Weight (Male) 9 US tons (18,000 lb), 10 US tons (20,000 lb), or 11 US tons (22,000 lb)
TruPRIMIGENIUS Minimum Weight (Female) 3 US tons (6,000 lb)
TruPRIMIGENIUS Maximum Weight (Female) 4 US tons (8,000 lb)

Below are some images of the several possible variations for Woolly Mammoths that could be implemented, ranging from variation in the tusks, skull shape, and body size

[cobalt swift]

Cold Cascades

---

Location: Cascade County, Montana, United States (North America)
Climate: Cold open plains with several mountains. A few pine forests are present too. Snow is very common and can cover the whole map during snowstorms/blizzards
Datation: Pleistocene epoch, Quaternary period, 30,000 years ago
Side Note: Species 14, the "Hybrid Mammoth" as I call it, is a hybrid species between the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) and the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), which are both present on this map. We actually have evidence of both of these species hybridizing together, which is why it's on this roster. These hybrids would be extremely rare though, likely as rare as a Snow Leopard on the Sundarpatan Map for TheHunter: Call of the Wild, possibly even rarer

Species List:

1. Red-Tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) (Class 1)
2. Spruce Grouse (Canachites canadensis) (Class 1)

Custom Hunting Ranches

Details

TheHunter: Primal (And the other game ideas we have) could provide several possibilities for custom hunting ranches. I will explain my ideas for customizable hunting ranches below.

Species and Rosters
With hunting ranches, you would be able to put any species in the game on your ranch, ranging from the most famous species to the most obscure species. There would be DLC constraints with this though, as you would need to own the DLC a certain species comes with before being able to put it on your ranch. This is so that you can't cheat your way out of buying a DLC to hunt a certain species. The maximum amount of species that could be put on a ranch would probably be about 30 - 35 species, though you can obviously have less species than this on your ranch. You could also have several hunting ranches to make many different roster combinations.

Environmental Customization
You can customize the environment of your hunting ranch any way you want. You can choose what foliage is on your ranch and how much of it is on the ranch, the geological features, the water bodies, what species live in certain parts of your ranch, and much more. Do you want pine forests with some areas of open grassland? You could create it. Do you want dense jungles with some river systems? You could create it. The possibilities are nearly endless. You can also choose the location of your hunting ranch, which could be located pretty much anywhere across the world. Depending on how ranch customization would work, you could probably even have your trophy lodge be located on your ranch!

These ideas can also be applied to Call of the Wild: Primal and TheHunter: Paleozoic

TruDEINOTHERIUM

Details

Here, I will explain my ideas for a TruRACS system for all species of Deinotherium, those species being Deinotherium giganteum, Deinotherium bozasi, Deinotherium indicum, Deinotherium proavum, and Deinotherium "thraceiensis". Even though the genus has separate distinct species, they are practically the same in terms of their overall build and morphology, so different TruRACS systems wouldn't be need for the different species (Fur types/phenotypes would be different for each species though I imagine). In this idea, we will explore the many possibilities for these different variations, the different difficulty levels, and many other mechanics of the TruDEINOTHERIUM system

TruDEINOTHERIUM Difficulty Levels: 1: Trivial - 9: Legendary
TruDEINOTHERIUM Silver Score Minimum: 600.00
TruDEINOTHERIUM Gold Score Minimum: 800.00
TruDEINOTHERIUM Diamond Score Minimum: 950.00
TruDEINOTHERIUM Diamond Score Maximum: 2000.00
TruDEINOTHERIUM Minimum Weight (Male) 9 US tons (18,000 lb)
TruDEINOTHERIUM Maximum Weight (Male) 13 US tons (26,000 lb) or 14 US tons (28,000 lb)
TruDEINOTHERIUM Minimum Weight (Female) 8 US tons (6,000 lb)
TruDEINOTHERIUM Maximum Weight (Female) 10 US tons (20,000 lb)

Below are some images of the several possible variations for Deinotherium that could be implemented, ranging from variation in the tusks, skull shape, and body size

Climate: Temperate redwood forests with a few open meadows. Forests are dominated by California Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) and various other conifer trees. Some parts of the forests can be very dense with foliage, while other areas are very open and home to larger game. Most of the map though is home to small game due to the foliage density of the forests. Also located on a coastline, so some coastal species are present too

[cobalt swift]

Spears

Details

One of the earliest forms of weaponry that humans created was the spear. Spears are quite simple in design; they're long, pointy projectiles that are thrown at prey or enemies to impale them. Spears have been used by humans since the middle Pleistocene, about 400,000 years. Spears could be made out of many different materials, whether it be a sharpened stick or bone, an arrowhead attached to the end of the stick, and much more. Similarly to my Pleistocene longbows idea (#1120394592265719950 message), it would be neat to see the game offer spears for players to use to increase the weapon diversity of the game (since the game has a mix of modern and ancient weapons) as well as give players a thrilling weapon to use. I'll explain my ideas for spears below

The game would have 3 types of spears for players to use, each covering different weapon classes:
Sharpened Branches, which are classes 1 - 4
Stone-tipped Sticks, which are classes 5 - 8
Sharpened Bones, which are classes 9 - 10

Sharpened Branches would cover smaller game due to the fact that they could likely break easily. Stone-tipped Sticks would cover larger game since they'd likely be more durable. Sharpened Bones would cover the biggest game animals the game has to offer, since they'd be the most durable of spears

These ideas can also be applied to Call of the Wild: Primal and TheHunter: Paleozoic

Below are images of spears

[devout elm]

Just modern hunter in a prehistoric world no novelty weapons imho

[dark stag]

Spears are still occasionally used by hunters who have access to guns (Tim Wells comes to mind)

Plus a lot of tribes still use spears for hunting

[cobalt swift]

I don’t really see the issue with including novelty/ancient weapons alongside modern weapons. Would add a lot of variety and diversity for the weapons

Trophy Lodge Presets

Details

While players would be able to customize/build/create their trophy lodges any way they want, the game could offer several trophy lodge presets for those who don't want to spend time creating their lodge. These are the trophy lodge presets I have in mind for TheHunter: Primal.

Mountaineer's Lodge
The Mountaineer's Lodge would be a fairly large log cabin located in a mountain range. This lodge is for those who love the mountains, a cozy log cabin, or both. The exact mountain range the lodge would be located in isn't certain, but the best option personally would likely be a mountain range in Pleistocene North America or Europe. Images 1 - 3 below show what the lodge would look like.

Sportsman's Lodge
The Sportsman's Lodge is an extremely large lodge akin to a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's in real life. This lodge is for those who love all forms of outdoorsman activities, such as hunting and fishing, as well as taxidermy enthusiasts. This lodge would have multiple floors, with each floor having several large rooms. In the center of it all though is an extremely large room where you can display the largest of your trophies. Images 4 - 6 below show what the lodge would look like.

Paleontologist's Lodge
The Paleontologist's Lodge is a large lodge similar to that of a natural history museum. This lodge is for paleontology enthusiasts. The lodge would likely have multiple floors, though not as much as the Sportsman's Lodge. While any kind of trophy could be put in this lodge, European/skeletal mounts and fossils are recommended for this lodge the most to create the museum feel. Images 7 - 9 below show what the lodge would look like

[grand oriole]

Being realistic, this post is worthwhile if AI can help the developers create a map with the respective species according to the list in a very short time. It's just my opinion. And, of course, Ai can create assets like animals models, arms. Only time to time.

[cobalt swift]

probably wouldn't be the best idea considering the AI would get a lot of things wrong about the animal. it's best to leave it to the devs

[heady orchid]

AI is the cowards way to make a map

[prisma nebula]

As an Australian I think numbats and little penguin are too small for their classes and the Marsupial lion was around the same weight as mountain lions. And procoptodon would be around 6-7 but it's your choice

[dark stag]

I kind of figured the Marsupial Lion was in a similar weight class to cougars, I guess that makes several things the two species share in common alongside having a wide range of potential prey options and both being called "lions" despite having no relations to actually lions

[cobalt swift]

perhaps i could change their classes. what are we thinking?

[prisma nebula]

Numbat 1 or 2 and penguins at 1, procoptodon at 6 and Marsupial lion at 6 as well, thanks

[cobalt swift]

alright 👍

also when you mean Numbat you're referring to the Common Wombat correct?

[prisma nebula]

And just few more things. I think by ancient devil you mean tasmanian devil and wallabies should be 2 since they aren't that big same with thylacine. I hope I'm not annoying you

[cobalt swift]

its fine you're not annoying me. the Ancient Devil is a different species from the Tasmanian Devil. i'll also change the Wallaby class

[thin token]

Ancient Vurhonga

Details

Location: South Africa (Africa)
Climate: The same as Vurhonga Savanna in TheHunter: Call of the Wild, but colder than the modern day. On very, VERY rare occasions, snowfall can occur, but it's very rare. This is because snowfall has been reported in South Africa before, and could be more common than today due to the cold temperatures of the Last Glacial Maximum
Datation: Pleistocene epoch, Quaternary period, 26,000 years ago

Hybrids

Details

Hybrids are a cross of two different species or subspecies caused by breeding. In TheHunter: Primal, hybrids would be like hybrids we see in the real world, such as Ligers and Grolar Bears, as in they would be plausible and make sense. They would NOT be like the hybrids in the Jurassic Park/World series, which are monstrous creatures that are a cross between two completely unrelated species. Hybrids in this game would be a cross between species of the same genus, subfamily, and on rare occasions, family. I've already introduced one hybrid so far, the "Woollumbian Mammoth," a cross between the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) and the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi), which is a hybridization we actually may have evidence of. In the game, hybrids would be extremely rare, and would likely have the same rarity/spawns as the Snow Leopard on the Sundarpatan map in TheHunter: Call of the Wild.

Below are images of modern day hybrid animals

This is just me joining to say I bought primal ages ago and would pay money to hunt the reused assets from the hunter primal inside COTW. Maybe a Tenth size class for it.

I apologize for the lack of any map ideas lately. I’ve been working on ideas for a prehistoric hunting and fishing game idea of my own separate from TheHunter brand. I’ll get back to making more ideas soon

I will be going on a temporary, but long hiatus in terms of making ideas for this game idea and other game ideas like it on this server. this is mainly because I want to work on more ideas for my own prehistoric hunting/fishing game idea separate from TheHunter brand, which I call Outdoorsman: Prehistory. I'm not done making ideas for this game idea forever though
