I contributed to the whiterime ridge wilderness suggestion which has over 1000 comments and 300 likes I just wanted to update my contribution a bit, and hopefully this gives some new ideas.
Reserve & story: Seen in photos above the reserve could be really beautiful. Northern lights, pine forests, mountains with big valleys and grass. All would make for interesting gameplay and look really nice as well. There is really good room for story, especially involving indigenous people hunting seal being a very important part of their lifestyle. The hunter could hunt to give food to locals, and help out with missing hunters and more.
Look at the whiterime ridge wilderness sugestion they have so many other amazing species suggestions: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1070045518002147458
New species, brackets show interesting elements to species: (Bold is species I heard people in community especially want)** Arctic wolf**, **arctic hare (Will hide when spooked, hunter will have to look carefully),**snow goose, Canadian lynx, tundra swan, ringed seal (Dives in water when spooked, similar to alligators), arctic fox (when feeding they dive headfirst into snow to catch lemmings), Snowy owl, Dall sheep, polar bear, and Canadian Musk Ox
Old species which would fit: (Ones in bold are especially liked in community) Moose, Gray wolves, bison, red fox, elk, bighorn ram (maybe), caribou/reindeer
So overall, the map could be very visually interesting and beautiful, there are many amazing old and new unique species options which I have heard would be wanted among the community, and there is great possibility for a relevant and interesting story. I would be really interested in seeing this come to life and on this page I can see multiple other people talking about wanting a reserve similar to this as well. I think it would be something me and the community as a whole would appreciate. Thanks!
