New Species 2025

[gleaming marsh]

Its been 4 years since they added a new Species (European Rabbit, 13 November 2020) to an old map and soon 7 years since the first new species were added to the game (Gemsbock, White-Tailed Jackrabbit, Canada Goose and Mallard, 12 April 2018). These were added for Free and with the Angler shutting development down and the devs probably shifting to COTW, i think its time to add some brand new Species to both old and new Maps.

Vurhonga Savanna
The hard work of Reserve Warden Njabulo has borne fruit again and he managed to both settle the **Impala ** and the Greater Kudu,which first settle attempt in 2022 unfortunately failed, but this time it succeed and now both have a healthy population in this healthy and blooming Savanna.

***Sundarpatan ***
After Asmita Gurung & Birendra Majhi managed to grow a healthy Tiger and Snow Leopard Population their next rewilding and regrowing population projekt also was a complete success. Welcome the majestic and dangerous Sloth Bear in the deep Forests of Terai.

Yukon Vally
After a long time exstinction in this Area, without extra work by the Reserve Wardens the majestic Dall Sheep made a surprising Comeback and managed to grow a high population on their own.

I think the Kudu on Veronga need a Legit rework It is just sad the way they look

[gleaming marsh]

every animal on vurhonga needs a remodel 🙏

[tough quest]

Maybe peafowl to sundar?

[gleaming marsh]

Good idea but 5 completly new species would be a bit much for an "free update"

[abstract mulch]

Fair

[gleaming marsh]

still, would be a nice species to have

[tough quest]

Hey here is a thing for silver ridge peaks

Raccoon

I joined cotw just after the last animals were added to a map so I’m not to sure what getting ew to add a new animal would be but I do really like the idea of adding sheep to Yukon. The reason I see for why people won’t push for a new animal to be added is because their to busy trying to decide where the next map will be. I’m not sure what it has got to take but in order to get people to convince ew to add a new animal to an existing map but first you have to get them off of trying to get their map idea to catch on. I get on the core-feedback discord and all I see is new map here new map there let’s make a new map where we already have a map. People are so focused on somewhere new to hunt they won’t consider somewhere we already have and improving on it.

You got a good point. As much as I want a new African map that actually resembles a specific area within Africa (preferably bushveld) I think we might as well fix up vurhonga, so I made this #1341378773563740261

[distant raven]

I for one who lived in South Africa and hunted a Impala I think that the Impala should be in the game

[gleaming marsh]

10 more to 100

[gleaming marsh]

3 more 🙏

[hushed kayak]

Yes I want this

[gleaming marsh]

101!🎉

[nimble stag]

I’d include the Sitka black tail for Yukon. We pretty much need another big game only africa reserve but impala alone would be good for vurhonga

[gleaming marsh]

i always forget that this post exists 😂

[spark scroll]

I completely agree, cool idea. dall sheep would be so cool to hunt

[empty hinge]

Guinnefowl or more commonly known in SA, the “Tarantaal” would also be really neat on Vurhonga. They are also dumb as a rock, which would be kinda funny to see implemented into COTW

[gleaming marsh]

Bringing this back up

[gleaming marsh]

dall sheep are going to be in the game soon, so its even more resoneble to put them on yukon

[spring garden]

Probably this coming map

[gleaming marsh]

Seems like we have to wait longer🫤

[gaunt oriole]

For the Yukon they should also add the White-Tailed Ptarmigan as that'll be a new species and pretty common in the Yukon River Basin.

[covert ether]

bump

[empty hinge]

Also I love the description you gave each species on how they came to the map!

[narrow solstice]

are these species gonna come or is this fake

[gleaming marsh]

What do you mean by fake? its a suggestion post so what should be fake ?
i mean the picture couldnt be more clearly edited and the description also doesent say that it will come ...

[viscid bloom]

4 years since a new species? I’m missing something here because that statement is wild

[gleaming marsh]

New species added to old maps as a free update 😆 they did that nearly once a year back in the day

Like a backfilled species that wasnt in the game before

[viscid bloom]

Ohh yeah i knew i misunderstood that hahaha, yeah then tahr don’t count since it was already in Sundarpatan

[gleaming marsh]

Exactly

[gleaming marsh]

1 more to 150

[viscid bloom]

Guess what

[gleaming marsh]

150

[viscid bloom]

It is now because i forgot to like

[trim plume]

I would like to see dove and squirrel hunting added. For squirrels it would be the only species that you would be hunting out of the trees that requires stalking with a .22 or shotgun.

Ducks and geese should have bands as an additional trophy/rarity.

Permanent blinds that get built for deer etc, it would be sick to be able to build permanent duck blinds/field pits.

[viscid bloom]

I think tree hunting is the next big thing coming, it would work for most grouse, as you said squirrels, we could get tree dogs that can tree animals like bears, raccoons, squirrels because they live on the ground also. Dove and pigen hunting can work in both trees and in fields so there’s much to add, they just need to workout the mechanic

[gleaming marsh]

i mean tree hunting would be nice but i doubt thats gonna happen since it would only work on a map that has this feature implemented like wth the beavers chewing on trees.
