Would be cool if they added the Bongo to vurhonga

[dim compass]

1.1-1.3m tall
There is a eastern(mountain) and western(lowland) bongo, the eastern being way rarer but either would be cool
220-405kg(male)150-235kg(female)
Females have brighter coats
Males are usually solitary, while females are usually in small groups
Mostly nocturnal

Sadly vurhonga lacks their habitat

[dim compass]

Damn

Idk if they're really strict abt that, bcuz this guy is sick

Has expanding a map ever been done/requested?

[manic dove]

Requested I’ve seen, actually done I don’t think so (aside from backfilling for species that fit on a map). You could try and come up with a Congo map idea? Hopefully they will start focusing on Africa after this new winter map comes out but there’s no surety of that.

[dim compass]

OK, thanks

Here is a pretty cool reserve suggestion that includes Bongo (And Lord Derby's Eland): https://discordapp.com/channels/393040947006406657/1132780319058174073

[toxic willow]

I mean, it's not much crazier than lesser kudu and Eurasian Wigeon tbh

I mean obv it's still a no but still just tryna whine about lesser kudu again

[dim compass]

They aren't appropriate for the the map?

[manic dove]

Yeah hopefully they’ll be moved to a new Africa map and have greater kudu replace them on vurhonga

[steady pelican]

I still think Lesser Kudu and Eurasian Wigeon should be replaced by Impala and a duck species that lives in Southern Africa like Cape Teal

[toxic willow]

Nope, lesser kudu are only found in Central Tanzania and up

[north jolt]

The environment is atleast adequate for Kudu. Look at Ethiopia and then take a look at north western vurhonga. Bongo would be extremely out of place.

[manic dove]

Or Egyptian goose, or just remove the wigeon they annoy me greatly while hunting drink times

[toxic willow]

I'm busy working on a impala document rn hoping maaaaybe I get some luck from the devs looking at it favorably and then maybe I'll see what the devs say about reworking verhonga a touch

[steady pelican]

Fun Fact: Fallow Deer would have been a more realistic inclusion for Vurhonga then Lesser Kudu since at least Fallow Deer can be found and hunted in South Africa, though I would have preferred something like Impala or Nyala

[toxic willow]

There's a guy that lives down the road from me that has some does and a buck, I live in Pretoria for refence

[novel chasm]

Peafowl as well as they were introduced to South Africa and now run feral in many places

[manic dove]

Yeah going forward I would prefer it if they keep native species in Africa as there’s so many that are absent from this game, no need for non natives imo

But yeah crazy that that would be more accurate.

[steady pelican]

As long as they are native to the area the reserve is set in

[manic dove]

Yeah that’s what I mean.

[steady pelican]

I know, I just don't want a repeat of Vurhonga

[novel chasm]

Something rather interesting that could be added to Vurhonga is the Blesbok and the Bontebok. They’re rather colorful antelope that are found in South Africa.

The Bontebok could be found on the Plateau as they’re prefer high elevation areas, and the Blesbok could be found in the lowlands, as they prefer lower elevation grasslands.

Bontebok (Left)
Blesbok (Right)

[manic dove]

Red hartebeest would be nice as well, would almost prefer them over the blesbok if we could only add 2 animals simply for the fact that the black vs white blazes would be a nice contrast in the lodge

[toxic willow]

I still want Impala more than anything seeming that it is the most common and plentiful antelope in literally all of Africa

[north jolt]

Yeah, Blesbok and Impala would be my picks

[supple locust]

Just a little nitpick I have to point out. But there’s a population of eastern bongo in Kenya.
But yeah, bongo shouldn’t go on Vurhonga. Lesser kudu shouldn’t go on Vurhonga( it’s like having moose on Mississippi acres), but the devs just HAD to add them for some reason!

[dim compass]

See, I knew what I was talking abt🗣🗣

[supple locust]

Still nowhere near where Vurhonga is set

[dim compass]

yall just praying on my downfall🕊🕊🙏🙏 (gotta wait a minute)

[supple locust]

I was just pointing out that the map wasn’t showing the population in Kenya. Having bongo on Vurhonga is like having moose on Mississippi Acres

[dim compass]

Dw, I'm joking

Should I delete this post?

[north jolt]

On to nothing.

[novel chasm]

Y’know what we can find in Botswana? The Sitatunga. Would fit well in the Swamps of Dzonga…

[steady pelican]

I think Vurhonga should be remade to more properly resemble Botswana
