This needs some upland fowl

[devout pike]

You do realise that Africa doesn't revolve around Upland Bird Game right I wanted to focus more on Big Game and the Big 5 but there's a list below the official showing a list of species that EW could consider adding or backfilling

[devout pike]

Also I could not for the life of me give up anymore species so we're at 27 species which is 7 too many from max but it will do my minimum that I usually do is 25 getting anything lower than that is near impossible for me

[vivid bison]

I understand stand the enthusiasm, but one of the main success points for our big five suggestion is that it’s the main African large fauna suggestion, where’s before the vote was split by lots of other ones

[devout pike]

I do know that your Big 5 suggestion has blown up I won't lie I have a hard time trying to fit in and be popular which is why when I see posts like yours with hundreds of up votes I want to be that kind of person if I have that kind of popularity for map ideas then I'd feel more accepted and not so alone when no one cares really.

I don't know why that gets in the way but I'm actively trying to get rid of it and I feel like basically everything I want to make an idea of is already done and they're good so I can't compete

[vivid bison]

That’s fine, I’m not trying to snub it by any means. Just want to have all of our Africa big five wishes consolidated to one singular post

[compact token]

Have the big 5 have some antilopes and stuff

But Africa has some of the coolest and best upland game varietys and hunting, like sandgrouse, guinea fowl, Frankolin, quail and button quail.

And that's just the species groups who all have individual species. I think on a new Afric map we should get atleast 20 species and the big five and atleast 5 species of upland game bird, change my mind

[devout pike]

So you're suggesting 30 species then?
I'm not saying I don't want Upland Bird Game but I'd rather have these species come with the map to begin with and then at some point add some new species that of which Sandgrouse can appear

[compact token]

No, maybe but I would personally take 5 of the list but I get that you don't want that so I will not further bother you.
It's good to set what you want in the beginning so ew knows that we want upland game beforehand.

[devout pike]

I like Upland bird game don't get me wrong but 27 species is already too many to begin with and I'd hate to have to take even more when I had to take away another 11 to shorten the list I just think they could be backfilled

[compact token]

Ew does backfilles very rarely I get what you mean but I think taking of 3 species and adding 5 upland game species would really add to the variety and would appear to a greater audience.

Gemsbok.
Blue wildebeest
May be springbok
And the white faced whistling ducks could be removed and instead the map could house some very exiting upland birds. Couse one map only can fit so many big animals but a lot more birds.

-Southern crested guinea fowl
-harlequin quail
-namaqua sandgrouse
-yellow throated sandgrouse
-double banded sandgrouse
-coqui fankolin

I would think these species if clever distributed take about as much space on the map then the over 3/4 but add a lot of value and an entirely new hunting style to the map. Which diversifies the experience and makes it appear to more players.

Bump

Theres always the Okavango Delta for African birds!

[devout pike]

What area does the Okavango Delta cover? Botswana?

[opal sequoia]

Yes, big duck hunting spot.
