Kyrgyzstan Map, Giant Ibex, Argali and a Great One Marco Polo

[tawdry totem]

I think this would be a very interesting map, with there being few trees, there would be some forest area, but not much. I think it would offer a different experience than any other map in theHunter: Call of the Wild. With monsterous Marco Polo Sheep, going to level 9 - LEGENDARY. As well as making them the new Great One.
I also think that if the map is very open, that there would be NO drink zones, only feed and rest zones. There would be some water, but I think it would be a fun twist to the game. As well as animals being much, much more attentive at all times, being able to spook from far away. It would not be a map for new players, despite the open areas. As even an experienced hunter would have trouble. I think it would be amazing!
As well as climbing being fixed, as running up a mountain and jumping isn't very effective at times. And slipping down is really easy, so either adding some sort of climbing gear, or just making it easier for players to climb, as climbing is part of hiking and hunting.

Three things, snow leopard is a big no no(Mongolia tried in 2011 but they got some serious backlash for it), brown bears are just to far north, and I would replace red deer with Maral stag

[golden jetty]

When did they legalize snow leopard hunting???

[south ferry]

It would be massive news if a country legalized snow leopard hunting somewhere

[golden jetty]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was either China or Nepal that banned Snow Leopard hunting last, can’t remember off the top of my head.

[south ferry]

I do recall Mongolia having Snow Leopard hunts open back in the 60s or 70s and only because I read it in a hunting magazine once

[golden jetty]

Oh, looking at the wiki page (take with a grain of salt) latest country to give full protection was 1995 in Bhutan, I’m going to assume hunting did occur prior.

[south ferry]

Bhutan, I did not know they allowed hunting at some point, then again I never really hear of Bhutan at all

Looking at the species list I noticed another species that can't be hunted in Kyrgyzstan: Markhor, which can only be hunted in Tajikistan and Pakistan to my knowledge. Bear I am not too sure of but I'm going to assume Lynx is likely off-limits to hunting in that country

[tawdry totem]

Fixed : )

I forgot this one exsisted but i think a map like this would be sweet https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1119449859297132564

What about Himalayan snowcock?

Kyrgyzstan map with a Great One Marco Polo Sheep

I have decided to change the Great One from a Red Fox to a Marco Polo Sheep, after seeing that the Tahr will be the new Great One.

I will be drawing some furs for them as well.

This looks and sounds soooo much better than my idea for a Mongolia Reserve.

[nocturne wind]

Is this real? It looks awesome, so I’m skeptical lol

[tawdry totem]

yup its real, its called a 'Markhor"

[nocturne wind]

Holy crap, it’s beautiful

[tawdry totem]

They are amazing!

Marco Polo sheep, New Great One - Class 6

Maral Stag - Class 7

[south ferry]

That looks a lot like a Tian Shan Wapiti, which is also hunted in other parts of #1253737251867721820

[tawdry totem]

i couldnt tell what was a maral stag or a red deer or an elk

Eurasian Wolf - Class 5

Siberian Ibex - Class 4

[south ferry]

From my understanding, Maral seems to be used to describe Caspian Red Deer (a subspecies of the European Red Deer that is found in Turkey, the Caucasus Mountains and parts of Iran), Central Asian Red Deer (Which are a seperate species native to Central Asia) and some Asiatic Wapiti Subspecies like the Tian Shan and Altai Wapiti

[tawdry totem]

Urial - Class 4

Siberian Roe deer - Class 4

[south ferry]

In otherwords, the Tian Shan Wapiti should be bumped to Class 7 since it is the largest of the Asiatic Wapiti subspecies much like the Roosevelt's Elk is the largest of the North American Wapiti

[tawdry totem]

Eurasian Red Squirrel - Class 1

Bar - Headed Goose - Class 1

Gray Partridge - Class 1

All images are of new species.

Markhor - Class 5

[sinful fern]

We need more sheep!

[tawdry totem]

We need this map!

[wanton wolf]

This could definitely work now that Nepal has been added

[sage relic]

Considering the fact that we got Snow Leopards on Sundarpatan, I feel like they’d definitely add them here. The populations of both countries are fairly similar (around 300 - 500).

[tawdry totem]

I do think though since they would be over the whole map, they could double the amount of Snow leopards

[fresh turtle]

Oh i didnt know you had a kyrgyzstan map idea aswell!

I’ll upvote cause we need some dev action

[tawdry totem]

I have a few secret ones lol

[fresh turtle]

This the map?

[fresh turtle]

Maral is a turkish word for deer,
Or according to wiki

[tawdry totem]

yup, you can use it for yours since its basically the same area : )

[fresh turtle]

Thx

[short flume]

Bump

[halcyon gale]

It's crazy how we were saying snow leopards are big no no, and devs were actually designing them meanwhile lol

[south ferry]

None of us knew we would be getting snow leopards back then

[halcyon gale]

I know, it's crazy!!

[eternal relic]

Yeah, I was way off about that

[tawdry totem]

Bump

[vital dove]

The borders arent really clear in that part of the world, oh I love taxonomy

[tawdry totem]

same, its real cool, but also so damn confusing at times

[fringe lance]

I want a Siberian ibex GO and a Spanish ibex GO.

[static ore]

As long as this comes with climbing gear like classic has I’m 100% on board

[hot swallow]

This my dream map, if they added this I think I would be happy with this game if they ended content for it

Kyrgyzstan Map, Giant Ibex, Argali and a Great One Marco Polo

While they do not have the thickest horns, Siberian Ibex can grow very long horns, and curl into a large crescent shape.

[errant delta]

1, this map has high potential to be the next map with it uniqeness like no drink zones and climbing and so on, true mountain experience. 2 What kind of fox is that because it doesn’t look like a red fox. 3 We have to realize that while i want the siberian roe deer, we are most likely just getting roe deer unless they decide to do the subspecies variation on the animals like woth do

[tawdry totem]

It's a Red Fox, originally I made it so that the Red Fox would be the new Great One, but we got the G1 Tahr, so I changed it to Marco Polo

[errant delta]

Oh ok what fur variation is that, it looks like a gray fox’ og fur

[tawdry totem]

I dont know I just searched up "Cool Foxes" on google lol

[errant delta]

So how do you know it’s a red fox then hahaha

[tawdry totem]

well sorry

[errant delta]

I’m just wondering if you search that how you know what fox it is?

[tawdry totem]

I DONT KNOW im sorry 😭 😭

[errant delta]

It’s quite ok hahah i tried googling it but couldn’t find it out

[vital dove]

I think he doesn't know, that's a red fox btw

[tawdry totem]

yeah im dumb 😆

[errant delta]

Oh yeah it was a melanistic red fox, which is strange because when i think melanistic i think full black with dark red undertones but this one is just as black as red. Maybe there’s different levels of melanism

[vital dove]

I don't think it's actually melanism, some fox populations have silver morphs which are mostly black, I believe this to be a cross or ember fox

[errant delta]

Idk everyone else seem to think it is

[vital dove]

You searched in a way supporting your statement, I can do the same thing

Silver Foxes are technically melanistic so you can say that a cross fox has partial melanism if that makes you happy

[errant delta]

Yeah i can live with that hahah

[stiff cosmos]

pseudo melanism is probably the term you're looking for because thats what it is

[vital dove]

I guess, I'm not really searching as I already know the term

[stiff cosmos]

Nuh uh
