The only website I could find that list Persian Fallow Deer, Persian Leopard, Maral and Brown Bears as legally huntable big game is the Hunting Consortiums website, every other outfitter I could find indicates that only the mountain game, the gazelles and the wild boar are really huntable.

Even then, Iran is best known for its mountain game

Urial looks awesome. Need one in the lodge.

So since you insist that leopards, bears, Persian Fallow and Maral deer are all legally huntable in Iran, I have been doing what I can to find a source that either backs that up OR says that those species are off limits to hunting that isn't an outfitters website, but I figure I should ask if you found such a source that backs that up somehow

# tribal portal I only found an outfiter that siae that those are huntable, hunting isn't as wel...

Yeah, sometimes some outfitters are offering species that can’t actually be hunted

I remember reading about people offering hunts for animals like Ibex & Gazelle in Sudan for a bit but the legality of it was questionable at best

Of course as I did mention before, an Iranian Map, like a map set in a country like Mongolia or Tajikistan can easily play into the fact that it is a hotspot for unique mountain game like ibex and sheep

And in the case of Iran, having Transcaspian Urial, four subspecies of the real Mouflon (The Mouflon in Europe) and even several hybrids (Kerman and Red Sheep) and would help this map stand out even without the bears, deer and big cats

#

Also on the sidenote regarding the wolf subspecies: Indian Wolves are more widespread throughout Iran then the Steppe Wolf (Indian Wolf in attached image)

Actually now that I think of it, an Iranian (Or to keep it period accurate: Persian) map for #1130567081780326530 would be perfect, especially if set in a time when tigers and lions were still common in the country

I can usually separate a country's politics from a computer game but somehow I can't do it with this Iran suggestion. It's against the rules to discuss, and I don't feel like it anyway, but the thought of an Iranian map puts my stomach in knots and makes me feel quite ill. I don't think I could ever play this map and I'd have some serious questions for EW. I'd be very surprised if this ever got made. It has to be a down vote from me.

I think it’s a cool suggestion, Asian leopards in particular would appeal to me

# tribal portal Also very great culinary culture

I can't talk about the horrific stories of the Iranians (and Syrians) whom I've had the pleasure of working with but the thought of celebrating that country as a hunting reserve is very grim. But that's just me because of my personal proximity to the place. Anyway moving on.

i think 1 subspecies of mouflon is enough

tribal portal

#

yeah but with the 2 other sheep species that look nearly identical to the 4 mouflons there would be less space for other equally interesting species

#

otherwise splendid concept
would buy the map

i mean personally id rather have 4 unique sheep species rather than 4 subspecies of one species but thats just my opinion i guess

This should get more attention! I will do a rework later today reworking the species list and overall concept of the map to be less focused on the small part of the Caucasus living that for another map
