[shell parrot]

When the map coming?

[cinder silo]

Glad to see you love it. Hopefully it comes soon

[cinder silo]

🏴Texas ranch map🏴(Exotics)

🇨🇱Texas ranch map🇨🇱(Exotics)

[heady night]

I think it would be cool if most of the map was like a ranch and just have one section of the map with native Texas animals (whitetail, turkey, pheasant, maybe plains bison, etc.)

Don't forget coyotes

[gaunt summit]

Mind if I make my own take on this

[heady night]

Ok sorry I think you have a great map idea though

[valid berry]

Wonderful suggestion 👌

[gaunt summit]

Also you used the chillan flag lol

[cinder silo]

Oops lol 😬

[cinder silo]

I thought of those as well but stuck with a little less creatures since it might be hard for EW to add so many

[cinder silo]

? I didn't

Huh who changed it?

[gaunt summit]

Bman

[rain harness]

mate thats the chilean flag

[cinder silo]

Ik but I'm kinda busy lately. I'll change it

[cinder silo]

I can't find a Texas flag

[gaunt summit]

There is none

[unborn dirge]

Dove should be added!

White wing and mourning

Coyotes, armadillos, and javelinas (depending on what part of Texas) are also being forgotten.

[unborn dirge]

It got me to respond lol

[cinder silo]

Ah yes I will add them later. Just give me a few hours

[cinder silo]

Added

[valid berry]

I dont believe you should quit trying either. Alot of folks will post and give up over really trying to get it considered. And I for one won't discourage more content regardless where its located.

Also I'd like to see 1 more predator added other than coyote maybe gators or black bear or were you aiming for a predatorless reserve?

[gaunt summit]

No

[valid berry]

I can respect that if that is the case since it appears to be an imported game reserve.

[unborn dirge]

Not really any black bear in central Texas, which is most likely where this map is going to be set if it does come to fruition.

[cinder silo]

Not really my intention to create a predatorless reserve. Just doing what ranches do and it's mostly herbivores

[valid berry]

Ah I see that kind of ranch got it, yea no worries then.

[lapis delta]

i would actually really like this map it seems really thought out

[cinder silo]

Thanks

[cinder silo]

@gaunt summit can you beat me?

[gaunt summit]

Yes

[sly canopy]

This map idea is sooooooo much better than that inferior “Gray Family Exotics” idea.

[gaunt summit]

You just saw I downvoted your thing as a joke huh?

[sly canopy]

What thing?

[gaunt summit]

🇧🇷

[sly canopy]

Very uncool.

[cinder silo]

Real

[gaunt summit]

Oh hush mine is the goat

[cinder silo]

Imma scam you fr fr

[next robin]

@cinder silo God damn I don't think I've seen a Texan Map Idea do so well good job 👍 🔥

[gaunt summit]

Mine is better

[next robin]

You mind linking it then so I can see

[next robin]

Also not bad but this post is up by 20 so it must mean the community enjoys this one more but I honestly can't tell the difference between Texan map ideas anymore since they're so similar

[gaunt summit]

Do they

[next robin]

They kinda do but I'm not denying that Texas would be an interesting location for a map

[dense zinc]

If they add emu and big reds to a map set in the usa when they had a perfect chance to do it when they made the great map from my homeland of straya i will not be impressed

[cinder silo]

Fr. Emerald was not the best 🙁

[cinder silo]

@chilly meteor sorry for the ping but in your latest video with Kendall Gray, you mentioned how you wanted a Texas ranch, so I'm wondering if you think this is a good idea

[merry epoch]

Side by sides would be a cool release with this map

[misty tartan]

Horse

[merry epoch]

Thats good to Also a new .22 pistol would be nice

Also a honey bager and anteater would be cool

[misty tartan]

In texas?

[sly canopy]

We don’t need another.

The Ruger MK is incredible.

[merry epoch]

No in another map

[merry epoch]

But I was thinking about where it was chambered in .22 but it looks like the Davidson 10 mil

[sly canopy]

I’d rather any other pistol in the world tbh

[misty tartan]

Why say that here then?

[sly laurel]

The most important factor for a Texas map is the region. Are we talking West Texas, North, South, or East?
Everything changes a lot between the regions

[cinder silo]

It's a ranch situated somewhere in the south of the state

[chilly meteor]

As long as it has pere davids deer, watusi cattle, white stags, & a bunch of sheep and antelope species i would be happy haha

[misty tartan]

White stag?

[sly canopy]

Albino red deer basically

[chilly meteor]

Its a bloodline of red deer that always reproduce white offspring

Places like game ranches sometimes have them and they are super expensive to hunt for

[thorn urchin]

Think they’re leucistic technically but albino is a good descriptor for a mental image either way

[chilly meteor]

Heres where i learned about them and also the site that made me want a texas game ranch https://www.oxhuntingranch.com/texas/white-stag/

[sly canopy]

Yeah, I wasn’t too sure of the specifics, not big into the high fence world

[chilly meteor]

The species list is insane, this is why i have wanted a Texas game ranch for years now https://www.oxhuntingranch.com/hunting/

[thorn urchin]

I’m not either just have looked into animal genetics a lot but kinda weird they aren’t in the game already as a leucistic variant I mean

[chilly meteor]

Considering parque fernando is technically a game ranch i see no reason why they couldnt delve into the world of a texas game ranch. It has so much more options for species that would be amazing to hunt!

[sly canopy]

My preferred species list for a Texas map would be

Texas Hill Country Slam
(Axis Deer, Blackbuck, Whitetail, Nilgai, fallow)

The exotic antelope (specifically the ones not able to be hunted naturally within their native range so Addax, Scimitar Horned Oryx, and the lechwe’s)

Either Pere Davids Deer or Elds Deer

Texas Longhorns

And some waterfowl/upland birds

Particularly, Woodies, American Wigeon, and some kind of Ratite (Emu or Rhea)

[cinder silo]

I'd say Pere David's deer might be better suited in Parque since it's feral and abundant in the area and there's no big game in Parque that is exclusive anymore

[cinder silo]

Hunting with tanks is WILD, I also added White stags, they seem cool

[misty tartan]

Or it could be a monkeys paw situation and we get a texas map and its all reused species. They absolutely can do an exotics ranch with whats already in game. Dont want that at all but it’s a possibility

[cinder silo]

150 before boxing day?

[thorn urchin]

May want to specify red deer as the common name “white stag” can also be attributed to 5 other deer species that deal with leucism

[coarse prairie]

though the idea of kudu being in Texas irks me irl even, if it being on vurhonga comes at the cost of it being on a Texan map, id still be

[cinder silo]

I did

[prime isle]

The only African Species I would be okay with having on a Texas Game Ranch Map are: Aoudad, Nubian Ibex, Scimitar Horned Oryx, Addax, Dama Gazelle & Nile Lechwe, and most of the species list can only really be hunted in Texas. Barbary Sheep are the exception to that previous statement since they can now be hunted in Morocco but they made that list since they seem to be a big draw for hunting in West Texas

[mellow cedar]

I think we should get a new dog mechanic or a new dog in the game like a black mouth cut for baying animals or even just small game like how the retriever only retrieves small game along with 2 new class 1 animals the fox squirrels and or the western gray squirrels

[thorn urchin]

Huh weird just shows as “white stag (7)” for me maybe discord just isn’t updating or something

[cinder silo]

Oh, I just left it as that because White stags aren't really a specific species

[thorn urchin]

Ah fair

[coarse prairie]

Sounds fair to me, all those animals you mentioned aren't really hunted here due to the copious amount of issues in the areas they occur naturally, but they'd be great in game so why not just give them to us on a Texan ranch

[cinder silo]

I'm looking for 2 things- a name for this and more waterfowl

[pine widget]

I would love a Texas map with exotics on it

[sly laurel]

Ngl, I'd prefer a more genuine Texas map, maybe with some element of an exotic ranch, like something similar to the Moose on TE

[cerulean oyster]

The book surprised me a lot about the existence of animals in Texas Ranches. I bought it out of curiosity and to know a bit more about exotic animals imported into Texas.

[cinder silo]

Where did you get that from?

[cerulean oyster]

From online bookstore

[peak osprey]

Audad is another good texas one along with prairie dogs

[potent finch]

I would love to see this

[potent plaza]

Do we need more reserves in NA?

[frosty thistle]

Yes

[cinder silo]

Quite a bit, actually

[potent plaza]

A Canada map is the only one I can think of

We have enough maps in NA other than that though

[cinder silo]

I'd say we need Florida, A ranch like this and maybe a better rocky mountain map or Hawaii

[potent plaza]

We already have more than enough US maps, SRP, NEM, Mississippi acres and layton and yukon

[cinder silo]

There are WAY more places in NA that haven't been represented properly

[potent plaza]

Canada

[cinder silo]

Yes

[potent plaza]

We have enough maps in the us for now man

They should wait at least 4 maps until releasing another us map, and a California map would be better imo.

[cinder silo]

Texas ranches let us hunt creatures that you can't anywhere else. Where else can you hunt addax, Elds dear or Red Kangaroo? They are also a good contributor to the conversation of endangered animals and ties to that would be good for the game, imo

[potent plaza]

Still does not change the fact that we have too many maps located in the us, not only that, but i feel like a ranch map wouldn't fit in great with the other maps..

[cinder silo]

Added new things. Let me know if I should add any species or equipment

[cinder silo]

Would be cool if we had outposts like this on the map like these cabins in Ox Ranch

[viscid veldt]

Yesnt, Mexico and Canada have potential, also Alaska and hawaii and maybe small game but I don't think we need another lower 48s map

[viscid veldt]

Africa... East cape, Serengeti, Sahara, congo, Okavango delta and namib have sooooo much potential, the only reason Texas works so well is cause it takes animals from there and outs them somewhere else

[river canyon]

I think they could theoretically add as many NA maps as they want, as long as EW makes sure that each of them has something new and unique to offer.

that being said, I think NA has (realistically speaking) two or three more maps (after an Arctic map) that they could do before the game starts to get too oversaturated with them.

[cinder silo]

And most creatures here can't be hunted elsewhere, legally

[prime isle]

The only African & Asiatic Species/Subspecies I can think of that can only be hunted in Texas are:

• Mountain Bongo: A subspecies of the Lowland Bongo that is native to Kenya (Which banned big game hunting in the 70s)
• Nile Lechwe: Only really occurs in South Sudan and a small part of Ethiopia and while it could theoritically be hunted in the Gambella region in the past (This is no longer the case due to a variety of issues that affected wildlife populations in the area), realistically they can only be hunted in Texas as South Sudan also banned hunting shortly after gaining independence
• Nubian Ibex: The areas they live in either don't allow the hunting or are unsafe to travel too (And it can be a bit of both)
• Dama Gazelle, Addax & Scimitar-horned Oryx: Only occur in a handful of protected areas in their native range, making Texas the realistic option for all 3, though some places in South Africa apparently offer Scimitar Horned Oryx
• Barasingha Deer can only really be hunted in Texas in real life (But we crossed that bridge with Sundarpatan)
• Eld's Deer are also only really hunted in Texas
• Some ranches offer Gayal, a domesticated form of the Gaur

I excluded the Arabian Oryx and Aoudad since both can be hunted under special circumstances in their native range with Arabian Oryx being huntable (At the time of writing) on a single hunting preserve in the United Arab Emirates and the Aoudad can currently be hunted under a special permit in Morocco

[viscid veldt]

Aoudad can also be hunted in the canary islands, spain and hawaii

[prime isle]

I specified NATIVE ranges, its why I only mentioned Morocco when talking about why I excluded the Aoudad, but out of those places you mention I can see Spain being rather realistic and I have figured that if Aoudad were added to Cuatro Colinas they would share the same mountain ranges that the Ronda and Southeastern Ibex live since all 3 mainly occur in Southern Spain

[viscid veldt]

Oops

Nice, I'll add it

[unborn dirge]

You have white winged dove twice on this btw

[cinder silo]

Thanks

[slender axle]

I understand why people go to Exotics ranches to hunt IRL ..... But in COTW I'd rather have a map that simulates the actual terrain and biomasses that the animals actually live in ....

That's the advantage of playing the game .... Going to am exotic location to hunt ....

The only way I would be in favor of an exotics ranch map would be as the very last map after Africa 3.0 or even 4.0 .... Right before EW decides to close the doors and turn the lights out .....

Then create an exotic ranch map that has the animals in it you cant find or are underrepresented on any other map .... That would be a true exotics ranch for HCOTW...

Seems like EW would be against this idea as well .... Why should someone buy Africa 3.0 DLC when they can go to the exotic ranch map and hunt that animal ???

Not dumping on this idea just don't see the point or the attraction in game ATM ....

[upbeat nova]

The reason I like this is because this can be easily used to spread awareness to conservation of species that are struggling in the wild like Pere David's deer maybe through the missions or little points of interest and collectables have these cool species be huntable on a game ranch but also spreading awareness to these species struggling in their natural habitats

[slender axle]

Sure I understand that but thats one of the many reasons people go to exotics ranches IRL ....

But who's to say EW wont create a map with (insert your favorite species here ) at some point ??? And if they never get around to it then an idea like this with truly exotic HCOTW animals could be added .....

I personally would like to see black tail represented more in game .... But if they never get around to it then a final ranch that has remodeled black tail on it would be a worthy purchase for me ....

I guess it's just too early for me to want something like this ..... I say spend dev time on the exotic animals in their actual exotic locations .....

[loud notch]

I don’t think we need another American map. I can get behind hawaii, Alaska 2.0 and maybe some small game maps like Arkansas and Minnesota. But not another full size map. Another Canadian map, maybe another Mexico map could work too, and obviously any arctic map. But yeah, no more full size USA maps.

[cinder silo]

There are a few creatures in the species list that can't be hunted anywhere else in the world but in ranches

[slender axle]

agreed that is currently true ....

[onyx pendant]

This could actually be a decent smaller project like Salzwiesan to allow EW to start working on new/remastered African species early and have more backfilling options for Africa 2.0. I like it

Maybe some ratites like emu and ostriches would be cool

[broken yoke]

Happy Birthday Mate 🎂
(better late then never)

besides that, anybody else suspects texas to be this years winter map?

[cinder silo]

Thank you for that 🙏☺️. And I really hope that this is the next map, honestly

[broken yoke]

i hope either for texas or swiss alps but who knows?

[broken yoke]

You may wanna move the woodduck to the returning species 😁

[cinder silo]

Oh yeah

[upbeat nova]

Random question but what's the difference between the texas fallow,whitetail, and dall sheep to their regular counterparts I never really figured that out

[cinder silo]

They put hormones in Texas, it makes their horns and antlers way bigger

[prime isle]

Texas Dalls Sheep apparently orginiate from a mixing of European Mouflon Ewes and Rambouillet rams, in other words they are just a domestic sheep breed that can go feral and not a true Dall's Sheep

[cinder silo]

[cerulean oyster]

This ranch is basically a zoo. 👎🏻

[upbeat nova]

Its a game ranch. Its supposed to have exotic species from across the globe in one place. Having random animals makes sense

[fathom patio]

I mean that is basically what texas ranches are
