This is my take on an Africa 2.0 reserve with the big 5 and many other species. This would be in South Africa and cover 3 main landscapes. This update would also come with the brand new class 10 to support elephants and other large game. This will offer everything that could be wanted with an Africa 2 reserve with very little small game and of course look to @wellington for the main Africa 2 reserve. I know this doesn’t leave much left for vurhonga but the point of this map is to be one of the lasts maps they release as said on steam. I am obviously not from Africa and have never been there so some of the more knowledge and experience with the awesome continent and country please correct my mistakes because I’m sure there are some. Thank you for your time and please enjoy.

Small game class 1-3

Guinea Fowl (Class 1)
Baboon (Class 2)
Bush Pig (Class 3)
Springbok (class 3)

Medium Game class 4-7

Leopard (class 5) 20 per map
Greater Kudu (class 7)
Gemsbok (back to 7)
Eland (class 7)
Sable (class 6)
Black wildebeest (class 7)
Waterbuck (class 6)
Impala (class 4)
Zebra (class 7)
Spotted Hyena (class 4)
Cheetah (class 4) 15 per map
Warthog (class 4)

Big game class 8-10

African Bush Elephant (class 10) 8 per map
Black Rhinoceros (class 10) 5 per map
Cape buffalo (class 9)
Lion (class 9) 8 prides per map
African Giraffe (class 9)
Hippopotamus (class 10) 30 per map

New weapon 700 nitro express (class 10)

This is one of the only options that make sense to cover some of the larger game. With the upcoming weapon pack the 375 h&h should be updated to class 7 or 8 through class 10.

Now for the Great One the obvious choice would be elephants but you have to go a little deeper. When you look at elephants while the great one may be cool it would be very hard with the limited population they would come with them. The next choice would probably move to lions and I agree but would also like to throw another option out there. My other proposal would be the greater kudu the are such a massive and majestic animal so I think they would make a great fit. I am going to choose the lion as the official Great one however.

Great One: Lion

As you probably saw I included some species with a limited number of species like in sundarpatan. I think this is a good balancing thing Becuase you wouldn’t want to same number of elephants as impalas that just makes sense. The numbers are easily tweak able and I would love you suggestions. You may have also seen that the lion says 8 prides not a number of species. For the lions this would include 8 prides with 2-3 males and 4-6 females. This is a more realistic approach to how they are done now in the game. they would still have drink zones and would work like any herd animal. But the main pride part is the territories that they wouldn’t cross like tigers.

The real Maasai Mara National Reserve is located in Kenya just north of the border with Tanzania (Kenya also outlawed hunting in the 70s), if you want this to stay in South Africa I would suggest a name change for the reserve

wise wagon Oct 4, 2024, 1:41 AM

#

That would work I just like the name but that does make sense

ebon osprey Oct 4, 2024, 1:41 AM

#

Also the Maasai don’t live in South Africa.

#

That’s an East African culture

If you do the missions or read the lore text at land marks — while they don’t come out and explicitly say “South Africa” — it is certainly clear that this is the case.

The bigger issue is that Africa is huge with all kinds of interesting locations, so for an Africa 2.0, 3.0, etc map, it would be great to have it be something more than Vurhonga but with different animals IMO.

ebon osprey Also the Maasai don’t live in South Africa.

The Maasia tribe have to be one of my favorite, I've watched a couple documentaries, and I've forgotten everything other than their name
Aren't they the ones that gifted the US a herd of cows after 9/11?

For a realism side of things every animal you see in the map can’t be an elephant and I am just assuming the map would be kinda laggy if it was overloaded with elephant
