Vurhonga Backfills and updates

[unreal urchin]

Since we might not be getting a africa 2.0 for who knows how long…you might as well add new stuff to our current African Map as many parts of it feel very empty and kinda old maybe update some models….
•Lesser Kudu Rework
•Lion Rework (new fur types,rare maneless variation,Aggression Should be able to hunt you through the tall grass and through the underbrush at the first sight or smell even sound)
•Springbok rare variation (Shadow,Copper,Black (black would replace Black brown and would apply to both m and f)
•Crowned wildebeest are rare for m and f

New species
•Helmeted Gunieafowl-Class 1
•African Crested Porcupine-Class 2
•Grey Duiker-Class 2
•Chacma Baboon-Class 3
•Impala-Class 4
•Black Wildebeest-Class 6
•Plains Zebra-Class 6

As most of these are just reskins,Porcupine (sized up raccoon),Duiker (down sized musk deer) Baboon would have similar walk cycles to Kangaroos minus the punching and Jumping It can’t be too hard but,as I’m sure we all know,It’s a lot harder than we think

Also we need Lion Aggression rework, they're super aggressive predators irl, but in the game they are less agressive than wolves, roos and Crocs, and are almost the same as the bears 💀
I would love to see a mechanic when a Lion would hunt down the player after seeing, hearing or smelling them from some distance!

[unreal urchin]

I’d also want to see some attack animations not just the thing charging at you like it’s the running of the bulls

[orchid garden]

YES!!

[worldly orbit]

And make crowned wildebeest male and female

[long heron]

I agree with this idea but I would prefer it if they saved Sable Antelope for a second Africa map

[unreal urchin]

I put plains zebra down as a replacement however…Vurhonga is setup to have Waterbuck

Oh and,we’d need to move Vurhonga way farther South and replace the Kenyan Flag that flies outside the outpost to a South African Flag to make room for more African Reserves.

[worldly orbit]

Wait, I thought that the reserve has its own flag?

[unreal urchin]

Every Reserve Flies it’s emblem ontop of the flag the actual reserve is located in

[worldly orbit]

Oh

[unreal urchin]

With the appearance of Springbok,that would mean it’s based in South Africa because of their limited range,Wrong it flies the Kenyan Flag…although hunting has been banned in Kenya since 1977….

I have also drafted up where some of these species shall roam starting with Black Wildebeest,they would have a much smaller Population and Roam the Beautiful Dzonga,My favorite part of the map alongside plentiful flocks of Gunieafowl,Plains Zebra are found almost everywhere on the map excluding the Swamps and Plateau,similar to Impala,the small but fierce Crested Porcupine roams all across these beautiful expanses of land.

There’s also Blesbok which only live in Southern Africa,I’d love to see them they could replace Zebra to save Zebra for Africa 2.0

[orchid garden]

I think Hyenas backfilled would suit this map better then if they save them for 2nd Africa

[unreal urchin]

Honestly I don’t think it’s going to be very long until we get Africa 2.0,Vurhonga is really showing it’s age as WOTH comes closer and closer to bringing us Tikamoon Plains and from what I’ve heard they release it shortly after announcing it

[unreal urchin]

I completely forgot about miltimounts

Long Live The King
1 Male Lion 3 Blue Wildebeest of varying genders (based on the Lion King

Ambush!
1 Side-Striped Jackal 3 Guineafowl 2 females 1 male
The 2 females would be nesting as a jackal pounces there would be atleast one or two poses where the jackal gets the male or female depending on the pose

[pure kernel]

a bit late on the aggression of the lions but still wanna add to it. They shouldn't just make the lions more aggressive (In my oppinions al but im keeping it africa theemed), also the buffalo, but not only more aggressive but also more currious. like when they spot you they dont just run but slowly walk to you to investigate and the maybe charge as a group or flee. Making it so you have to choose to spook them early or run or take them all. If they do make all animals more aggresive maybe add repellant or rubber bullets or a slingshot. something that doesn't kill but scares annimals of so you dont have to take that female or low estimate male.

[silver rose]

They actually used to be that way when they first got added to the map

[tired patrol]

Absolutely.Stalking is needed.

[solid sky]

Man, Vurhonga needs this bad, have you seen Tikkamoon plains?

[karmic hull]

I'd love guineafowl and baboons on vurhonga would maybe bring me back to it

[tired patrol]

Honestly,It’s literally an island…In the middle of A bunch of plateaus,Back when ew was in that 2 or more sides of the map have to have water around it phase.

[solid sky]

I don't mind that so much as the lack of animals, and weird ass choices

[unreal urchin]

The Island bit doesn’t make much sense to me,Like keep the Easter river,make it flow down out of bounds,And open up the Eastern Shore,mostly so we could have more semi aquatic species,making it a giant moat makes the least sense,and then closing everything outside of that moat,which is more than enough land to Sustain Cotw large land needs.

[solid sky]

it feels too specialized, and old now, a rework would amazing

[unreal urchin]

I don’t get the point of EW not wanting to work on olds map’s layouts,assets,Atmosphere.

[solid sky]

big patches only i guess, I'd like a few improvements here and there. Idkwhy we have to redownload the whole game when they patch something

[hardy token]

Multimount idea the watering hole
1 male gemsbok
1 male blue wildebeest
1 male springbok

[hard folio]

I'm all for more antelopes on vurhonga

[hard folio]

Are sable antelope hunted in south Africa because according to the web they do inhabit south Africa just wondering if the population is high enough to sustain hunting

[unreal urchin]

Sable do infact live in the drakensburg range, https://www.africanskyhunting.co.za/trophies/sable-antelope-hunting.html

[hard folio]

Hmmmm perhaps could get one of the coolest looking African animals Undoubtedly..... 😂

[karmic hull]

Bump

[young flint]

I see EW responded positively to adding Hyenas to the game, could we add them to your list?

[unreal urchin]

I’d love to see hyenas,but perhaps save them for a Namibia,the environment there just makes more sense.

[karmic hull]

Hyenas would be awesome!

[solid sky]

Brown Hyenas could work, but they'd be more lone predators than pack animals, a bit like the lynx we have

[long heron]

I've actually been considering adding those to #1070108417819156631

[karmic hull]

Egyptian Geese would be nice to have too!

[warped wedge]

Backfills are really needed for Vurhonga, we’re severely lacking in plains game for this map.

[solid sky]

Can i bump this up for the sake of interest

[warped wedge]

………………..no……..

[solid sky]

then I bumped it for the sake of blesbok

[potent geyser]

I'm not against this kind of thing but if I'm going to be honest I think I'd rather wait another maybe 3 or 4 years to get another Africa map if that means we get the Big 5, Dangerous Game, Plains Game and basically anything that would make a map perfect but also I don't like Vurhonga basically at all the layout of the map looks weird like an island some of the biomes are just meh and if this is in fact placed in South Africa I'd rather just wait for either Zimbabwe or South Africa this is just my opinion but otherwise I do like ideas of backfilling so I have nothing against you Ayoliam but I do have stuff against Vurhonga

[open flume]

Also Maybe add some more Predators like Spotted Hyenas, Cheetahs, Leopards, Servals, Black Backed Jackals and Crocs
