grønfjords nationalpark - svalbard

[dense trail]

Welcome to grønfjords nationalpark a piece of heaven at the end of the world. far above the Arctic treeline. The tundra valleys are filled with small herds of svalbard reindeer while the ptarmigan like the mountains, seals sunbath on the beaches while seabirds sit on the cliffs.
And all that happens in the shadows of mountains and glaciers.

• svalbard reindeer class 4
• arctic fox class 2
• Ringed seal class 3
• bearded seal class 5
• walruss class 9
• polar bear class 9
• fulmar class 1
• glacous full class 1
• black guillemut
• brünnichs guillemut
• pink footed goose
• barnacle goose
• common eider
• svalbard ptarmigan
  The new weapon isn't decided yet Couse I don't know a lot about weapons.
  The landscape concists of tundra with claciars in the background they're would be gravel beaches where seal and wallrus would sunbath and an island with crazy bird hunting
  The goose and ptarmigan are found in the tundra.
  The map would be normalt high (7km) but 13km wide too make up too the loss of huntable land Couse of the fjord.
  The island would be full of sea birds.
  Polar bears would only live close too shore where they get they're food.
  You can't find lakes but marshes and swamps.
  In the north can you find an old Soviet settlement.
  Pink is tundra
  Blue is water
  Black is mountains/cliffs
  Yellow is black sand beach
  Green are settlements

I do recall polar bears on Svalbard being protected by law and I wouldn't be surprised if Walrus are also legally protected (but the reindeer, fox, seals and birds seems to be fair game from what I have looked up myself).

[dense trail]

It's true but Both have been hunted commercially in the past they're and in the story of the map we would talk about that the population is getting out of hand so that that have to be culled by you the warden

[hot turret]

It would make for sense for a reserve with polar bear and walrus to be set in Canada (Nunavut & Northwest Territories more specifically) as it already systems in place to allow non-indigenous hunters to pursue those animals (Unlike Svalbard where no one can hunt those species)

[dense trail]

Don't like the region, to American Im Scandinavian so may be I'm byased but it would be something new, we also have a lot of history with the Soviet ghost town pyramiden and the Russian town barrentsburg

No hate too America btw

[hot turret]

I am favour of a Canadian Arctic Map simply for 2 reasons: A good variety of new big game animals and second reason being that besides Rancho, every other North American map has been set in the United States

[dense trail]

Canada and the us are basically the same, and what new big game are you thinking of, they're ain't gonna make musk of happen

If north America I would like BC more or another duck hunting map

[hot turret]

#1070045518002147458 and you say people don't want another North American map

[dense trail]

They do but I don't, I've read the entire thread and like it but I just think the old world and south America have more hunting grounds too be covered in the future also I would kill to se svalbard reindeer in the game
Btw I don't want it to get heated just a friendly discussion

[indigo mango]

Walrus,Seal,Polar Bear,Dall Sheep,If Caribou and Grizzly are given reworks they would essentially be new species,Arctic Wolves are all brand new big game species that are only hunted (legally) in few places,Canada being the most popular,common,easiest to get into irl.

[hot turret]

I would like to see more Asian and African reserves too (Those also being old world and having potential for new big game, small game and bird species)

[dense trail]

We had all of this in classic already and I feel like falls sheep and arctic Wolf on one map is unrealistic
I really like you're guys map concepts but they're big summer maps but I imagined this one more as an nem type filler map

[hot turret]

Arctic Wolves and Dall Sheep living on the same reserve is not that unrealistic if you consider how far north Dall Sheep can be found (Richardson Mountains in the Northwest Territories and Yukon of Canada and the Brooks Range in Alaska)

[dense trail]

Dall sheep kinda boring tbh, just white big horns don't understand the hype stuff like stone sheep or argalis is way more interesting, I only see them on a BC reserve or yukoon valley

[indigo mango]

Quick boat ride across a channel really,and EW has done something like that before with rev,having one of the best duck hunting spots in the game is locked behind exploration.

[dense trail]

Exploration?

[indigo mango]

If anything Stone Sheep are just Gray Bighorn sheep,Dall Sheep have different curls.

[dense trail]

Crazy didn't think bighorns had so big horns....

[hot turret]

Stone's Sheep are just Dall's Sheep with more grey colouration

[dense trail]

Yea makes them more interesting I think

[indigo mango]

Bighorn (first) Stone Sheep (Second) Dall Sheep (Third)

[dense trail]

Yaas bighorns are thick...

But don't you see the appear of svalbard as a filler map that's still interesting 🤔?

[hot turret]

Japan and the United Kingdom could easily fill the roll of a filler map without being so bird heavy

[dense trail]

Wtf do you want in the UK?

[hot turret]

I would prefer Japan on account of it being in Asia, but the UK does have some Muntjac Deer, Chinese Water Deer and could potentially serve as another Fallow Deer map, but again: Japan is the one out of the two I mentioned that I'd rather see (Medved is technically the only reserve set in Asia so anything for more African and Asian maps is a plus). (edit: removed references to other map concepts)

[dense trail]

Fair enough

[dense trail]

Dude u don't need too send your map concepts i have read every single one of them twice

[hot turret]

my apologies (the second one wasn't mine)

[dense trail]

But I would love too se a central or West Asia map in the future, what is your top most wanted maps
1 west africa
2 south America waterfowl
3 BC
4 central asia
5 svalbard
6 Alps, Caucasus or kapates

[indigo mango]

What even were the references in the first place???

[hot turret]

my Central Asian reserve and your Mongolian reserve

[indigo mango]

Ah,I’d have to agree,those would be some of my top picks as well!

[hot turret]

I mostly referred them because there was mentions of Argali

[indigo mango]

So true!

[indigo mango]

1. South Africa 2.0
2. Botswana/Namibia
3. Pakistan(Give me the Blue Sheep’s and Urial!!!)
4. Mongolia/Central Asia
5. Japan
   Then,Followed by Canadian Arctic.

[dense trail]

Strong

[flint saddle]

First of all I would like to say I think stone sheep and dall sheep both should be added to the game to complete the NA Sheep Grand Slam and I think they both are beautiful animals.

Second the stone sheep are not just gray bighorn sheep. Stone sheep are actually bigger than dall sheep and have a lot of color variations. The stone sheep has the weight of a bighorn but horns like a dall sheep. Best of both worlds with more color variations.
I agree with JANNY the stone sheep is more appealing, but we absolutely need both in game regardless of what map brings them. They both have their own uniqueness.

I'm not sure why you are hating on the stone sheep?
These pics below will support this information.

How does this look like a bighorn

[indigo mango]

I’m not hating on Stone Sheep,I fully support the addition of Stone and Dall Sheep,I was merely saying that Stone Sheep Share more in common with Bighorn Sheep than Dall Sheep,because he said Dall Sheep are just White Bighorn Sheep.

[flint saddle]

Oh I didn't see that!

[indigo mango]

All good.

[indigo mango]

Here it is.

[flint saddle]

I agree with you they aren't boring. I do see the the draw for the stone sheep more but both are different enough with their own uniqueness to be a quality hunt for both.

[runic forge]

Da

[hexed tinsel]

I'm finding the main image of this thread a little traumatising. Just saying. 😂
