First of all after playing the pointer and the new game mechanics, I would like to proposal some new breeds, like the Norwegian elk hound, this breed is for most big game hunting(6-9) but we alsow use it for predator like the lynx and bears, its a good bird dog to. When it Come to the predator hunting like the lynx it wil case the lynx up in a tree and bark at it till the Hunter is getting there, but it do happend from time to time that the dog and the lynx wil get in to fighting, if u get a big male cat that aint scard of the dog, when it comes to the bears it wil track it and work around it like it do with all big game(moose, reddeer and hogs) but it would alsow be Nice to have in game animals that get aggressiv to the dogs and trying to take them down, if they do hit the dog it wil run back to u so u need to surpport the dog to get back on the track to get the bonding up again it wil feel that u conect more with the dog(and other thing is when the dog start barking on its prey it weakens its hearing and the focus its on the dog), most of the mechanics are already in game from the pointer now so it wont be that much to add on it other then we get a dog that wil case the big predators to. For the small game most for the rabbits and foxes(1-4) size, it would be Nice with a dog that wil track them down like the pointer do when it track down the big game, when it find them it wil start to bark and spook the prey but it wil take up the case and herding the prey so the Hunter need to try and get infront of the case so its ready when it come to the hunter. This wil alsow make it more fun when u play with freinds, it have to be a stategy when u Hunt together and it wil contect ppl to. Dogs for this type of hunting is like the coonhound, amercan foxhound, and some breeds we use here its Hamilton, finskduster and chiliduster Just to name some. And some of those breeds we alsow use it to Hunt wolfs with but the most usd one there is the plott hound, but same basics

Looks and sounds alot like an Akita. Though I'll admit if we can get more Northern Snow reserves over Fall & Spring reserves, I'd gladly accept an Akita for C:3-8 predator game hunts if coyotes & bobcat are properly reclassed, if not C:2-8 predators. Mechanically: Tracks & stand-offs predators in a similar fashion to the pointer that locks down class: 1 game. This in turn would provide EW a means to revisit predator AI behaviors & Model reworks. As for the engagement it would follow suite with the defensive trait. I for one doubt EW would allow any of the dogs to sustain injury.

We dont need injurys Just more like to spook them, to unbrave them so the prey have time to get out off there and u need to use alittle time to make your dog brave again to track down the same one but it cant happend each time cause then u kill the game, but u have that risk up to two times on the same animal or something like that? I agreed with the akita, its time to see other breeds that have not been in other hunting games befor. Why is it the same breeds that been usd from time to time? And ai need some rework i have had alot of ai get stuck when I use the pointer, had a whole heard of reddeer stuck on a hill, but my dog lvl up fast tho cause it was Just standing there and barkt while i could have Pet them. That was 5-10 of them up there good thing for me is easy money but it kinde kills the meaning. I would love to have northern snow reserves to or more maps like the one that the weather change where u get all seasions that makes its much more fun to play in.

The new dog and the legendary dog ability has had me thinking of new dog breeds lately, and I've love to see a Karelian Bear Dog. Without adding new mechanics, I could see it functioning like the pointer, except it'd be allowed to track large predators (maybe at the cost of not being able to track lower class animals?).

If they added a mechanic that'd allow animals (like black bears) to climb trees, I could see it functioning/being able to tree bears to make the hunter's job easier. I'd have to give some more thought about how that'd work, but I would still love to see the breed added in some way.
