Possible Backfills 2024-2025

[vapid bramble]

It has been give or take 1.5 years since the last backfill. Some of the best animals in the game are only on 1 or 2 maps. Please let me know if anything in the lists should be changed. Please also read the note mentioned.

Hirshfeldon -
• Iberian Mouflon
• Sika Deer
[Note: Sika are a BIG if.]

Layton Lakes -
• Mountain Goat
• Canada Goose
• Bighorn Sheep
[Note: The map already has many reachable mountain regions, notably the top-left corner.]

Med-Ved Taiga -
• Tundra Bean Goose
• Greylag Goose
• Mountain Hare
[Note: The map needs small game.]

Parque Fernando -
• Iberian Mouflon
• European Hare
• Sika Deer
• Fallow Deer
[Note: The map has rather rocky regions.]

Vourhonga Savanna -
• Does not need backfill

Yukon Valley -
• Roosevelt Elk
• Coyote
• Willow Ptarmigan
[Note: Roosevelt Elk live in specific parts of Alaska but it could still work.]

Cuatro -
• Chamois
• Feral Goat?
• Tufted Ducks
• Mallard
[Note: The map could use some waterfowl and the Chamois and Feral Goats make sense for obvious reasons.]

Silver Ridge Peaks -
• Coyote
• Raccoon
• White-Tailed Jackrabbit
[Note: SRP is a newbie friendly map and coyotes are found everywhere in the U.S outside of Hawaii. The game also needs more small game.]

Te Awaroa -
• Whitetail Deer
• Rocky Mountain Elk (Wapiti for NZ)
• Tahr (Change Name to Himilayan Tahr)
• Sambar (Change name to Sambar Deer)
[Note: RME are super underated and deserve to be more than 1 map. The RME are commonly known as Wapiti in NZ aswell.]

Rancho Del Arroyo -
• Plains Bison
[Note: Plains Bison are the staple of the wild west.]

Mississippi Acres -
• Mallard
[Note: More waterfowl would make the map more popular.]

Revontuli Coast -
• Reindeer

New England Mountains -
• Does not need backfill.

Emerald Coast -
• Water Buffalo
[Note: Water Buffalo are a common species to see in Australlia.]

Sundarpatan -
• Sambar Deer
• Feral Pig
• Axis Deer
[Note: Sambar are from Asia and wouldn't make sense to not be on an Asian map.]

New England - Rocky Mountain Elk

[split crescent]

layton needs a new predator, cougar or wolf would be good

[thin dragon]

That’s a good way to drive away the rest of the new players.

[fleet canopy]

please swap brown bear for mouflon there are no wild brown bear populations live in germany

[floral sage]

There's not wild elk in New England. There's wild elk in Pennsylvania

[pearl marlin]

Honestly think black bear would suit Yukon so well so maybe add them

[dapper socket]

I feel like I've read this before

how?💀 when i was new to this game i was wondering why it didnt have those types of animals. Also if your scared of running into one of those you shouldnt be playing a hunting game to begin with

Even though it's basically copy paste of https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1245135209460928645 but changed a little so the teacher can't notice, here are some things I don't agree with.

• First main one: Jaxy said back in 2022 that it takes a LOT of work to backfill an animal to map, that is why they can add one or max 2 when they are doing a backfill.
  So, now I disagree with adding 3 or 4 animals to old maps because making that happen will take a Loong time (maybe over a year) and will take away from us getting a new map, or even 2.

Hirshchfelden
Chamois would fit the map better than anything, leave the Mouflon for Parque.

Layton Lakes.
Bighorn is enough.
Mountains of Layton aren't Rocky and high enough for Mountain goat to inhabit and there is no reason having Canada Goose on both base maps.

Medved Taiga
No need to add both Greylag and Tundra bean to Medved to make it Revontuli 2.0. Only Tundra bean Goose is enough, plus we already got a 2nd map for Greylag anyways

Vurhonga
Agree.

Parque Fernando
Fallow and Mouflon is enough, there is no point for them to spend all development time on Parque

Cuatro
Only waterfowl is needed on this map, and again there is no point for them to spend all development time on Cuatro, so Tufted duck will be enough, not the Mallard because they are already on 3 maps

Silver ridge
Agree on Coyote and Jackrabbit

Te Awaroa
I personally would love them to add all 4 here and also pheasants, but again it takes development, so the main 2 we need are Tahr and Rocky elk

Rancho
Agree
(Change the note part, teacher can tell copied)

Mississippi
Agree
(Change the note part, teacher can tell copied)

Revontuli
With 19 species on that map it definitely doesn't need more backfill, because by itself now it can get laggy on the map because of all the species.

New England
Agree

Emerald Coast
Agree

Sundarpatan
Sambar deer definitely agree
Wild Boar instead of Feral pigs (they also showed up in the missions dead)

[vapid bramble]

bet

was it the feral pig or wild boar models in the mission?

[dapper socket]

I run out of letters in one comment lol
To add:

Yukon Valley
The map is set far to north for Roosevelt elk (even tho I know they need a 2nd map, plus I want them to get a Great One) and I rather have black bears on Yukon instead of Coyote, leave Coyotes for srp

[dapper socket]

Wild Boar, and in general, Wild boar are in Eurasia, Feral pigs are more down under

[thin dragon]

So… Pennsylvania is apart of the region called…. New England.

[thin dragon]

Maybe because their behaviors are hyper unrealistic? Never seen a wolf attack someone… have you?

[thin dragon]

New England is a region, not a state.

[vapid bramble]

there are elk species in new england

[thin dragon]

Moose aren’t elk
Moose - Alces alces

Rocky Mountain Elk -Cervus canadensis nelsoni

They are both deer however.

[vapid bramble]

yes

[split crescent]

then in your logic they should remove wolves from yukon, medved, and cuatro basically removing them from the game also you never know, by yourself with a hungry wolf pack you dont know what could happen

[thin dragon]

Ummm no??? Yukon is a far cry from the base game maps.

[split crescent]

bro what its just a normal map

[thin dragon]

Think, think! What is different about Layton when compared to Yukon or Medved?

[split crescent]

your making it such a dramatic difference when it isnt, your acting like wolves change the whole map when they dont and you rarely even occur them

you prob die to them thats why your so against them

[thin dragon]

I don’t lol, but New players would get annoyed, bored then quit.

I almost quit because of how terrible the base game is.

[split crescent]

your acting like you walk into them every 10 minutes when its normally once or twice a session

[thin dragon]

There’s no reason to make the base game worse for new players.

[split crescent]

bro this is just ur opinion btw cuz ive never seen anyone else complain about base game or wolves

[thin dragon]

Because everyone has long since moved on from the base game.

[split crescent]

bro what do you even mean base game there isnt mods or anything people can install

[thin dragon]

You don’t know what base game means?😂

[split crescent]

no

explain please

[thin dragon]

No DLC😂😂😂

[split crescent]

just because you have a dlc doesnt mean it isnt the base game, ur confusing it with mods, dlc's are part of the game

[thin dragon]

DLC’s aren’t apart of the base game dummy!

[floral sage]

No it really doesn't

[thin dragon]

Yes… New England is a region…

[floral sage]

No it isnt

[thin dragon]

I’m not touching that spooky ass file.

[thin dragon]

The “Middle Colonies” have been dissolved since July 4th 1776, it’s a defunct term, whereas New England still stands. Depending on who you ask New England can go as far south as Pennsylvania.

[silent bone]

🤣🤣🤣

[unreal venture]

Grizzlies would make for the best. They don’t spook things.

[split crescent]

yea but we already have black bear, both of em would be cool i guess but idk

[vapid bramble]

sketchy ass file fr

[vapid bramble]

bobcat could work also

[split crescent]

yea

[brave salmon]

So since it’s the same idea (obvious backfills the community has discussed for a long time) it’s copied from you 💀

[dapper socket]

Not the idea, but what's written lol
