Iran Reserve Idea

[tired mauve]

I have seen a few ideas on this and thought it would be a great addition to the games maps. Here is the line up I came up with for the Reserve. I hope this gives a little something for all hunters. This is just a idea for the devs & community to kick around.

Chukar Partridge - Class
Pheasant - Class 1
Sand Grouse - Class 1
Ruddy Shelduck - Class 1
Caracal - Class 3
Goitered Gazelle - Class 3
Persian Fallow Deer - Class 4
Markhor - Class 4
Red Sheep - Class 5
Asiatic Cheetah - Class 5
Grey Wolf - Class 6
Brown Bear - Class 7

Had thought of being the leopard into the line up however I think it cool to save that animal for a South America map. The Asiatic Cheetah would be just like the tigers where they are being brought back in this reserve. However, it may act more like the snow leopards as they are not easy to find. This would allow the game to get a cheetah without Africa 2.0. Also allowing them to shine a little bit more as a prize poster child of the map.

The map would have a mountain range running down through it. On one side of the range would be lush ground with rivers and lakes. While the other side of the range would be desert, more flat open country with brush. Also bringing in weather mechanics like Napal. Where on the mountain range it can even snow. Bring three different biomes into one map.

Markhor and Kalij Pheasant don’t live anywhere near Iran and are more around Pakistan

Persian Ibex & Black Francolin would fit better

And while we do have animals like Bengal Tigers and Snow Leopards, I don’t think the Asiatic Cheetah would be a good inclusion

Bengal Tigers have a population over 3000 adults and there are between 4000 and 6500 snow leopards in the wild
Asiatic Cheetahs on the other hand has a far smaller population of around 12 adults with 3 of them being females and if things don’t change for the better they might go extinct (and this low population has played a part in India choosing to use cheetahs from Africa for their cheetah reintroduction project)

The Red Sheep would be a better “poster child” for an Iranian Reserve since Iran is known among hunters across the world as being the place to hunt animals like Red Sheep, Transcaspian Urial, Persian Ibex and several mouflon subspecies

If we are to get Cheetahs it will likely be on an African Reserve without a doubt

Also your statement about saving leopards for a South American reserve tells me you mixed up leopards and jaguars
• Jaguars are currently exclusive to South & Central America
• Leopards are currently exclusive to Africa and Asia

I generally like the idea but the species map needs reworking #1240751703540895995 for a little hit of inspo if you want
