More birds!

I’ve been loving all of the bird additions lately, wood ducks and pintails are super fun. Gadwalls are great.

In salzweizen starting lodge, there is a canvas back decoy on the front mantle.

That made me think of all other species that would be really fun, especially in a Minnesota South Carolina, Chesapeake or GL region map. Or even just a backfill on other maps 🤷‍♂️

Here are just a few iconic waterfowl that haven’t made the cut yet:

Oh also mourning doves

I’d prefer they rework birds entirely before doing anymore small game reserves.

They don’t even make the right sounds!

I noticed lol, why are my woodies quacking

I don’t think a new map is necessary, I believe adding these as backfilled species could add a lot of value to maps like New England mountains, boosting desirability for less popular maps.

Here is how I would divide them up:

mississippi (positioned right at the end of the Mississippi flyway, the most heavily used waterfowl migration corridor in the country) : canvas back/ or redhead, American coot, ruddy duck, American wigeon, northern shoveler

New England mountains: hooded mergansers, blue winged teal

EW doesn’t really make species explicitly for backfilling.

Canada goose, collared peccary

Collard peccary came with Rancho

And in the case of geese, that was almost 6 years ago… they’ve said it themselves on the livestreams… back when they did that.

Gotcha.

Would you like to see new species come out with a fix/ patch?

[radiant dragon]

Birds?

All of them.

I think the animations they do are fine, the sounds are the problem…

The animations are a bit rigid, nothing a little tweak couldn’t do. But yes, my main problem is mainly sound.
