The New G1 Would Be A Wild Boar

[tiny epoch]

Funny enough Val-de-bois in Classic was based on the French Alps

Also for anyone curious about Corsican Mouflon here is a link https://grandslamclub.org/species/french-mainland-corsican-mouflon/

The only thing I might say could be replaced is the Red-breasted Goose with the Greylag Goose

Mostly because the Red-breasted Goose seems to be listed as “Vagrant” (aka occasionally shows up)

Though both the Red-legged Partridge and Wood Pigeon would also be good additions

[full grove]

I Did The Red Breasted Goose Simply Because I Know They’re Found In Northern Italy, And I Assumed They Were Found In Southern France.

[muted osprey]

Alps is more like eastern France

[full grove]

It’s Kinda Southeast France, Where It Meets Italy

[muted osprey]

yes

[mental bramble]

Great suggestion, I would love to get some Alpine Ibex in this game

[signal dagger]

I would love to see chamois on another map

[full grove]

Same. I’m Tired Of Hunting Them In Only Te Awaroa.

[signal dagger]

I would've also liked to have seen them on cuatros colinas but I don't think alot of people would agree

[full grove]

They’d Have To Call Them “Pyrenean Chamois” But They’d Still Fit Nicely On The Map

[leaden dust]

This map would be absolutely stunning.

[muted osprey]

yes first map of the alps

[leaden dust]

Like map idea??? There’s been multiple,they haven’t caught on nearly as well as this one.

[muted osprey]

first alp map to hopefully added to the game

G1 wild boar is the stupidest thing i ever heard lol

[full grove]

Bro Is STILL Out Here Tryna Start Stuff

[muted osprey]

If it’s stupid what else should it be?

U want a great one ptarmigan instead?

[serene pecan]

G1 roe deer

[muted osprey]

Roe deer… who the hell care about them

[serene pecan]

Better than anything else. As we have seen, g1s have only been assigned to antlered animals, not tusked

[muted osprey]

Time to change that then

[serene pecan]

I cant think of a fabled design for tusks though

[muted osprey]

And that’s why your not in charge of designing it

[serene pecan]

Why would I be? Im supposed to design stuff now??

[muted osprey]

You said you had no idea what it would look like I say that is why dev is in charge of designing not you

[serene pecan]

Ok well enlighten me. What could it look like?

[full grove]

You Ever Heard Of Bears?

[muted osprey]

Idk I’m not designing it

[serene pecan]

Exactly, neither am i lol

[muted osprey]

Could look like this

[full grove]

Then Don’t Be Out Here Calling A Simple Suggestion Stupid Simply Because You Don’t Like It. A G1 Wild Boar Could Look Like This.

[serene pecan]

Seems like thats what they already look like. Although in the game, they arent as happy lol

[tiny epoch]

For a start the Great One Boar could have noticeably larger tusk (TruTusk or TruSize maybe)
They could also have a noticeable mane (like this Indian Wild Boar in the image)

For fur variations I am not sure on that

[serene pecan]

Well it would have to be a very large tusk lol. Fur variants would have to be the primary g1 material

[leaden dust]

We’d have to take a bit of an artistic approach Credits to @subtle lake

[tiny epoch]

I like it for sure

Another one could one that is all black except for it’s face

[leaden dust]

We could even use some base furtypes like black gold.

[serene pecan]

Those ideas are actually pretty good

[muted osprey]

[muted osprey]

only dislike is from peter 🤦‍♂️

No Surprise, The Funko Pop Chewer Has It Out For Me

[muted osprey]

idk what that is

[full grove]

I’m Just Saying That He’s Dumb, And He’s Holding A Grudge Against Me Because I Said That One Of His Ideas Was Unrealistic And Not Possible.

[shadow girder]

I’d hope they would consider to crank the hostility up for a specimen of this, size.

You don’t get to be the biggest boar without competition.

Even a regular pig can take the calf-muscle off of your leg before you could register pain.

This G.O. could be a real tough, territorial, vegan’s nightmare.

They should have him spawn solo.. When you enter his domain, Peppa Pig begins hunting you. 🐗

[serene pecan]

So? It's a dumb idea that's coming from an ape

[full grove]

How Am I An Ape? You’re Literally The Only Person That Seems To Dislike This Map Idea, And I’m Nearly Certain It’s Out Of Pure Spite For Me Being Correct About Something And You Not Wanting To Admit It.

[muted osprey]

you dislike the whole suggestion because of the person who posted it that sounds so dumb

[muted osprey]

bump

[serene pecan]

How am I a neanderthal? And what are you correct about? Oh yeah, nothing.

[serene pecan]

It sounds dumb, but ayoliam does the same thing. Look at some of my posts. Though many like it, he is the only dislike

[full grove]

When Did I Call You A Neanderthal? Also, I’m Correct About Tigers Being Illegal To Hunt Everywhere And Cape Buffalo Calling Being Illogical And Unrealistic.

[leaden dust]

I’ve dropped it,stop talking about me.

[full grove]

How Does It Sound Dumb, Exactly? 26 Other People Like It And Think That It’s A Good Idea, But You Are The Only One That Disagrees.

[serene pecan]

Thats when you called me a neanderthal. And why do you think that cape calling is "illogical and unrealistic"? Is it not unrealistic and illogical to ride off of a cliff on an atv yet both the atv didn't break and we didn't die?

[serene pecan]

I will talk about you as much as I want.

[muted osprey]

just grow up and get over it

[serene pecan]

just get out and shut up. You aren't in this conversation

[muted osprey]

pretty sure ur the one who started this so please grow up and touch some grass instead of aruging over a suggestion that might not even be added

[serene pecan]

I did not start this

[serene pecan]

The start of the argument between @leaden dust and @full grove was in another message, before I ever saw you around

[muted osprey]

ok that is fine but now you can end the arugment since there is no point carrying on.

[full grove]

How About You Stop Talking Like Your The One With Authority In This Situation.

[serene pecan]

How about telling him to "Stop Talking Like Your The One With Authority In This Situation" by saying "get up and grow over it".

[full grove]

How About You Quit Being A Spiteful Little Kid And Get Over The Fact That People Disagree With Your Unrealistic And Illogical Ideas, And Stop Disliking Things Simply Because The People Posting Them Are People You Don’t Like.

[serene pecan]

How about you 1. Learn how to capitalize, 2. Get over the fact that it is not "unrealistic and illogical" to have a cape buffalo caller, and 3. Tell Ayoliam (obviously your homie) to stop disliking things simply because I posted them.

[full grove]

1. I Type Like This Because I Think It Looks Good, I Know It’s Not Grammatically Correct And 2. @leaden dust What He Said. Let’s Put All This Crap Behind Us So That We Quit Pissing Off The Mods.

[serene pecan]

What do you mean by "what he said?" And truthfully, I would like to put this stuff behind us, but every post I make has @leaden dust trying to dislike it

[full grove]

I Mean That I’m Telling Liam To Stop Disliking Your Posts

[serene pecan]

Ok well lets end these hard-feelings then

[leaden dust]

I haven’t though,I literally only disliked the ones I personally didn’t like or the ones that made no sense,not because of how he’s acting

[muted osprey]

leave it alone ffs

[leaden dust]

I’m done with it,I dropped it long ago,all he has to do is stop talking to me and about me.

[full grove]

I Didn’t Know, I’m Just Taking His Word For It. I Don’t Generally Check Who Dislikes Anything.

Damn, back in January, when New England Mountains was still new and they were just starting to work on Emerald Coast... better be the December map I swear, otherwise they aren't reading the feedback chat at all

[full grove]

I Honestly Want The Next Map To Be Asia Rather Than Canadian Arctic. Asia Has Been So Incredibly Neglected Yet It’s An Amazing Place To Hunt. Central Asia Has Tons Of Wild Sheep, Goats, Bears, Wolves, Maral Stags, Saiga Antelope, And A Whole Plethora Of Upland Birds. Southeast Asia Has Many Kinda Of Deer And Antelope As Well As Wild Bovids Like Anoa, Water Buffalo, Gaur, And Banteng, With Wild Dogs Like Dholes, Dingoes, And New Guinea Singing Dogs. It’s A Nearly Untapped Market Out Side Of Medved Taiga (Which I May Add Is Easily The Least Realistic Map That We Have, Being That It’s Set In The Yamal Peninsula Where There Are No Lynx, Bears, Capercaillie, And ESPECIALLY Not Siberian Musk Deer, Which Are Found On The Other Side Of Russia Near Manchuria And Mongolia).

[tiny epoch]

Saiga, Anoa, Gaur, Dhole and the Asian populations of Banteng are all generally off limits too hunting currently

For southeast Asia here is a reserve set on Borneo Island: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1140246673063428096

[full grove]

Saiga Are, However, Quite Abundant, With Over 1.37 Million Alive In Kazakhstan And Mongolia. Anoa And Asian Banteng Cannot Be Hunted, But I Believe In Some Places Dholes And Gaur Can Be.

[tiny epoch]

Well it looks like Kazakhstan is reopening or looking to reopen Saiga hunting (I went to look for info about weather the hunting ban was still in place and found that instead)

As for the hunting of dhole and guar, what country is allowing this?

[full grove]

I Was Told That Laos Allowed Very Limited Gaur And Dhole Hunts, But I Never Actually Looked Into It.

[tiny epoch]

From what limited info I can find regarding hunting in Laos, the Gaur and Dhole are most certainly illegal to hunt there

[full grove]

Hmm, Then I Guess They’re Off Limits Since Basically All Of Laos, Vietnam, Burma, And India Are Completely Off For Hunting. Unless Nepal Has Hunts For Them, That Is.

[tiny epoch]

The only hunting in Nepal currently is mainly for Himalayan Blue Sheep (Bharal) and Himalayan Tahr with some Indian Wild Boar & Muntjac (and it takes place on the only hunting reserve in the country)

Then the aforementioned Malaysia does have some big game hunting (mainly on the Island of Borneo) for water buffalo, sambar deer, saltwater crocodile and 2 types of wild pigs (Indonesian Wild Boar and Bearded Pig)

[full grove]

Yeah Then Unfortunately They Are Off Limits Then Unless EW Decides To Be Bold And Make An Illegal Species Come Out.

[tiny epoch]

If they won’t do African Bush Elephants, they won’t do a species off limits to hunting

[full grove]

Well I Feel Like The Reason They Aren’t Doing Elephants Is Because They’re Incredibly Iconic And People Are Overly Sensitive. It’s Literally A Game, We’re Not Poaching Animals By Killing Pixels.

[leaden dust]

Tell that to my fallow deer😂😂😂 (they still haven’t recovered since I stopped grinding)

Another Species Id Like To See Would Be The Apennine Wolf. It Would Definitely Be A More Controversial Species (As I Do Not Believe They Can Be Hunted), But It Would Be Cool. It Could Almost Be Like The Iberian Wolves.

[shadow girder]

Bump

[celest dock]

Not all wolves can be hunted at all in France, although that would be interesting and I remember as a Frenchman that certain broadcasts talked about wolf regulation. This means that if the prefect explains that a number of wolves must be killed, you can. But it seems to me that today this is no longer the case and it is a completely protected species, Otherwise the rest of the animals that you have put are interesting

[topaz thunder]

I can almost guarantee someone somewhere is controlling the population through either trapping or hunting and it's just not being publicized. Predator prey balance, human conflict, territorial boundaries all demand a certain amount of population control. It's exactly the same as in the States when wolves were reintroduced. They were handled quietly and out of the public eye. Not hard to imagine getting a task to cull 3 or 4 to help the roe deer population bounce back from a hard winter

Gotta admit, I always wanted to play Val de Bois but no PC for classic, this map may not mirror it but I'm still intrigued. Boar GO sounds cool but eh, I'm no grinder

[celest dock]

There was a site, I don't remember its name, but basically you can actually shoot a wolf but only for 3 reasons. And photo of proof that it is what I call an HP, that is to say a huntable species only if the prefect authorizes the collection

France is the country of hunting in Europe, the average of huntable species is 25 in Europe, in France we hunt around a hundred species in total, with some like the capercaillie endangered or extinction locally. But otherwise if we don't think about the huntable species and we choose the animals found in France regardless. You can see impressive wild animals whether horses or bulls etc...

[topaz thunder]

Honestly, this is a game and nothing it does could affect the real world besides bringing a little enjoyment so regs shouldn't be an issue for any reason.

However, I'm very sure that a secondary program the government is not mentioning is at working tranquilizing and moving wolves or shooting them to prevent overpopulation in areas that can't sustain them or to prevent disease. That said, it makes no difference in game.

Also, I have to say I'm really surprised how much hunting actually takes place in France. And at least what I'm reading about seems very . . . showy

[celest dock]

Don't worry about wolf overpopulation, because there simply aren't any. They have been there in France for too short a time. And overall the French love them even if the fear is persistent. Then, I completely agree with you, it's a game so as the animals are virtual, you can have any animals. Afterwards I admit that I am not a fan of seeing certain animals. For example many want pigeons etc. but I saw them more as decorative animals. But the animals he chose are realistic. If he wants a chamois guy. The chartreuse chamois is a chamois which has recently been considered to be of the same subspecies as that of the Alps, except that it is a little larger, slightly larger and has a darker color, it is endemic of the Chartreuse massif which is located in the Alps (at least right next to it).

[topaz thunder]

I'm no fan of birds, pigeons/doves or however you want to approach it just don't appeal to me, but anything with fur and I'm happy to hunt

[celest dock]

I only put ducks in my map because I found it more interesting because they have beautiful plumage, quite strong for some. But otherwise yes, the pigeons are not a big fan. In addition it seems to me that there are already pigeons as decorative birds on Hirshfelden, I should check that, but it seems to me once I had zoomed in and I saw a pigeon, but I still doubt it.

[topaz thunder]

There are those little white birds you occasionally see, although I've never studied them close enough to to say. Either way, geese annoy me enough there so I'd rather not add pigeons.

I wouldn't mind capercailie tho
