[chilly ridge]

Impala and helmeted guineafowl

[wraith spindle]

Impala
Elipsen waterbuck
Black wildebeest
Plains zebra

[tall swift]

Black wildebest and eland

[fervent nymph]

What about Cheetah?

[lapis pier]

when you want it ? than i will add it

[shadow elbow]

I wanna make a case for Klipspringer, Rock Hyrax, and Olive Baboon - all three species are perfect fill-ins for the otherwise barren Vurhonga Plateau

Naturally, this region is also fine for Leopard and I remember when they first released the Lion everyone was thinking Leopard. We all want Leopard.

[nova oxide]

It'd have to be Chacma Baboon, Olive baboon don't occur in Southern Africa. Could be cool tho

[shadow elbow]

Dude Vurhonga is a random assortment of Africa it barely matters which species - I almost put Hamadryas just cause they're handsome lol

[nova oxide]

Are the counts for animals on the map carried over from the previous thread ? If not I'd like to vote again for Impala and Greater Kudu here. If they do then disregard this.

[nova oxide]

True, true
But still, it's the same argument keeping Bongo off the map. EW could just add Baboon as a general species I guess

[shadow elbow]

Ew absolutely not, definitely want a specific species. And Bongo is a strawman, Vurhonga is pretty clearly a mix of South and East Africa.

[nova oxide]

guess so. Im probably just a bit specific with the african maps because I want it to be an accurate portrayal of Africa, but it is just a video game after all

[shadow elbow]

Yes I'd agree with you, but it's too late for that. It's clear that when Vurhonga was made the dev team at the time had no clue what they were doing.

[nova oxide]

I like to say they had an "Africa is a country" mindset in their development. At the end of the day, as long as we get a bushveld map, I'm happy lol

[shadow elbow]

Both of those points are correct - which comes back around to the original sin of not expressing Africa's real diversity with like 6-7 maps.

Not to mention, they said something about Greater Kudu which didn't happen and the Eurasian Wigeon was added instead 🤦‍♂️

[nova oxide]

Ja no that was kinda silly, the Vurhonga Plateau would have been prime Greater Kudu habitat

[foggy onyx]

Hyena and leopard are my top picks

[fervent nymph]

Oh Trust me I want it

[lapis pier]

i added your vote

[shadow elbow]

Cheetah would be better for a Botswana/Namibia map tbh

[fervent nymph]

I’d agree but we did get Tigers and Snow Leopards in Nepal so anything is possible at this point

[shadow elbow]

Huh? That's not my point hahaha

[lapis pier]

New Species Community List (Vurhonga + Sundarpatan)

[fervent nymph]

Also you might wanna put the “A” before The “H” for “Cheetah”

[lapis pier]

I had feeling something looked wrong there ....

[untold shore]

Zebra, impala, Greater kudu, nyala, Eland, sloth bear

[tough estuary]

Leopard, hyena, impala, Grey duiker, dik-dik, and blesbok for me

[fervent nymph]

Also Clouded Leopard

[rain hawk]

Baboons on vurhonga would for sure bring me back

[lapis pier]

[strange galleon]

Impala on Vurhonga,Sloth Bear on Sundarpatan

[wraith spindle]

[lapis pier]

[wraith spindle]

Truly I'd 😔
They are my new favorite goose, compared to greylag they are absolutely tiny, slightly smaller then s bean goose but larger then a shelduck

[misty cobalt]

Blue peadowl and indian peafowl are the same

[lapis pier]

okay thx

[strong imp]

What is your guys take on new species to existing maps now that we see the engine is so limited. We will obviously lose other animals populations on the map which i think could make the maps feel even more dead. I think until they stop supporting the old consoles adding new species to existing maps could be a bad idea. I just don't want the maps to feel dead.

[lapis pier]

honestly i dont think they atleast dont add new species to the newer maps. i started that hole thread thing just because many peaple suggest new species on my https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1324853016938942658. the hole point was to show EW whick backfills the majority of th community wants.

[wraith spindle]

I'm in favor of old gen support as well

[strong imp]

Im not against supporting old consoles, I just don't want to lose animal populations to add new species to old maps. Some maps feel dead already.

[wraith spindle]

No wait what I tried to say is that I'm in favor of cutting old gen support for the engine to work better

[wild terrace]

Sundarpatan just needs the areas of each species reworked

[tall swift]

It's not a problem with the configurations of old consoles, I play very recent games with much more powerful engines without any problem. It's just that the engine used for this game is certainly old, but if they improve their engine, it wouldn't pose a major problem for old consoles.

[lime void]

Eland.

[golden spruce]

Hyrax 🗣️

But sloth bear,dhole and Indian peafowl could be nice too

[lapis pier]

any votes you wanna add to other maps ?

[golden spruce]

I'll check it out

[misty cobalt]

Dholes aren't really present on the tiger reserves of nepal I.e Shuklaphanta, Bardia banke complex or Chitwan

Kalij Pheasant, Axis Deer, Hog Deer, Sambar deer, Sloth Bear, Peafowl and Leopard would be nice

[misty cobalt]

They're not in Nepal really at least in the tiger reserves
