Love It give me

[scarlet jungle]

Nothing I wouldn’t do to go back.

except that plane ride…

[crisp reef]

Absolutely love this! If EW makes this map then they can take all my money 😂

[scarlet jungle]

I’d go to their base of operations and just air drop every valuable possession I own!!!

[spare terrace]

Redundant, anywhere outside of South Africa would make sense since we have Vurhonga already

[raw delta]

But Vurhonga has a few things wrong with it (a pair of species not found in South Africa but showing up on Vurhonga being one I can think of)

[spare terrace]

Indeed they could be transferred to Africa 2.0. Easier said than done obviously but

[scarlet jungle]

It’s really not.Vurhonga is more of a Tanzanian reserve with half the species it should have.

[scarlet jungle]

Vurhonga is a terrible representation of South Africa.

[spare terrace]

Sure is redundant; With the returning species being all the key species of Vurhonga then EW would’ve been better off not making Vurhonga at all, it would become obsolete and not profitable

[spare terrace]

Yep sure isn’t

[scarlet jungle]

100% vurhonga would be still be profitable.Vurhonga is great for lower levels who just want something different to mess around with while This idea is meant for higher levels as they have access to far bigger and better rifles.

[spare terrace]

Makes sense but issue is how r the newbies gonna know what’s good for them or not, they’re just going to look at the better “bigger” African reserve and go for the shiniest trinket they see. They wouldn’t want to waste money either

[scarlet jungle]

Reviews,Discord,Reddit,YouTube reviews,recommendation.

We live in a world full of information,I’m sure most people who get a new game will be looking up guides and asking what’s best for their mode of play.

[spare terrace]

Very very bold guesswork of that happening for every new person, let alone new ppl who would even care to choose a somewhat easier or suitable map that may look less fun to them lol. Well in order to somehow better differentiate Vurhonga from ur idea, which is a good idea, Vurhonga would need a whole solid revamp that caters more typical South African species, endemic ones and defo fallow deer too.

[scarlet jungle]

Look anywhere cotw related.But take a look at vurhonga, Vurhongan outposts don’t even fly the South African Flag.

It looks more Kenyan than anything,hunting has been banned in Kenya since the late 70’s which confuses and stirs the pot even more because why are springbok there!

It could also pass as a Malawian flag.

[jade glen]

Rihons are protected aren't they bc there's so lil of them and they are hunting for the horns

[spare terrace]

Seems like they were aiming to make a generalised African reserve of the Southern region of the continent itself

[scarlet jungle]

Fully legal to hunt in South Africa actually specifically White Rhino surprised me when I was making my Mozambique idea.

[scarlet jungle]

…and ended up with not even a quarter of what’s hunted,for example they could’ve added Blesbok,Impala,Thomson’s Gazelle, and so on.

[arctic acorn]

That's a lot of animals but it looks good. I wish there was a way to upvote individual animals on a map suggestion. Then EW could make sure they are getting the animals most people want on that map and it would solve some of the complaints when they made the wrong choice of animals.

[molten birch]

Would black wildebeest be possible

[scarlet jungle]

Yes!

[raw delta]

I might post a pair of Vurhonga remakes sometime soon:
• One set in Northern Tanzania (Lesser Kudu, Thomson Gazelle & other East African Antelope, but no Eurasian Wigeon out of a desire for African waterfowl)
• A second one in the Northern Cape as it has all but Lesser Kudu & Eurasian Wigeon (might include Fallow Deer, who knows)

[scarlet jungle]

Can’t wait to see it,lessee kudu remodel is needed!!

[scarlet jungle]

Bump!

[glad abyss]

Really like the idea!Would love a second african map,you could also feature Lowland nyala in this map as it inhabits Malawi.

[scarlet jungle]

I was looking at Nyala,I’d very much doable however I don’t want the species list to be too big.

[glad abyss]

Maybe replace it with springbok or wildebeest,i find them pretty commonly in Vurhonga.

[scarlet jungle]

All of those are Staples of South Africa however,it would be very weird to not see those two.

[glad abyss]

Yeah,i can understand that.

[scarlet jungle]

Bump

Nile Crocodile
Chacma Baboon
Duiker
Springbok

Almost all of the rest of the species are map wide.

[wise wadi]

I like the variety of species, that lion based mission sounds pretty interesting! 🤗

[brazen ice]

Another one of my favorite sub-threads I've read through this far. Sable, impala, greater kudu and eland are definitely needed all in all great animal decisions and choices throughout

[scarlet jungle]

This is probably my favorite I’ve put together followed by https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1117315981849669662!

[brazen ice]

It's a good idea big mature male sable antelope and impala have gnarly horns bro and I'm honestly suprised they haven't been backfilled into vuhrunga yet.

[scarlet jungle]

This map would mean so much to me,as it comes from personal experience.I’d love to see a proper accurate Africa map come to Cotw,and EW please don’t stop at 2.3,4,5 maps could fit on the African continent.

[brazen ice]

Proper Africa for me atleast based off of what I've heard is more medium to medium-large species and mostly herbivores on top of that. But most Africa posts I see people want to shoot hippos, rhinos, elephants and giraffe

But the antelope family is where it's at

Also African wild dogs despite not alot of hunting being done would be cool as their fur patterns are sick

[scarlet jungle]

Hippos are probably the most likely of the Big Five besides leopard,capes and lions,and would work especially well if there’s a river running down the middle.

[brazen ice]

Fair but was stating that the middle game is where it's at for me personally atleast

[scarlet jungle]

I agree,but if EW wants to make big money,they might as well add some Hippos alongside mountains of beautiful antelope horns,because as MANY have said,it would be a massive draw for them,and I completely understand that,who wouldn’t want to bow hunt a semi aquatic bus.

[brazen ice]

Hippos and Nile Crocs in a river actually sounds pretty dope now that the old buddy Jamieson is kicking in

[scarlet jungle]

This would be Ultimate money making map!

[brazen ice]

Facts get the third biggest mammal and second nd biggest reptile

[scarlet jungle]

Bump!

[junior zenith]

@halcyon hull

[scarlet jungle]

Africa bump

[sleek oar]

I’m pretty sure Ethiopia is the cradle of mankind.

[scarlet jungle]

“The Cradle of Humankind is a paleoanthropological site and is located about 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, in the Gauteng province”.

[sleek oar]

I see..,scientists coming up with the same names for different places. How controversial

[simple zephyr]

one for africa

[storm crane]

i think thats a pretty good idea

[meager prairie]

@meager knot why downvote this?

[scarlet jungle]

When he was “active”,he used to down vote everything for what ever reason🤷‍♂️

[simple zephyr]

He left the server a while ago
