Rework Parque

[drowsy eagle]

Parque deseves better. The trees have bad shadows, there are Puma everywhere spooking everything. And it only has one unique animal. Perdiz are hunted there currently and would be the perfect species to add.

Add a game bird, reduce the population of puma, maybe fix the shadows, and boom, parque is revitalized.

I puma my pants

[sand garnet]

Yooo same

[gusty tapir]

The map is old, so i don’t mind it staying that way so some graphic improvements can come to newer maps and rework the animals, but reworking old maps would be really much work i imagine

[jolly blaze]

When people talk about hunting Perdiz in Argentina they are talking about the Spotted Nothura, not the Chukar

You are right though that Parque does need more exclusive species

I have seen various birds alongside the Pere David’s Deer be suggested

[sand garnet]

Parque has alot of room for species to be added mouflon or any type of feral sheep could be cool

[thin lake]

California quail would be great in parque as well! Here’s my post about them: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1371644814717620265

Pére David’s Deer would be great, especially seeing as the only other place we could get them would be Texas or the UK. Give them to Argentina, and focus on other native species for those other maps.

[gusty tapir]

I don’t like when animals have names of the person who discovered them, idk if this one is though

[jolly blaze]

The Pere David's Deer are also known as the Milu

[gusty tapir]

That sounds better, you get what i’m saying though like imagine if Sable Antilope were called Sir Anthony’s antilope for example, i would not like that at all

[sand garnet]

I mean I wouldn't mind we got the blue sheep being called a blue sheep instead of a bharal

[gusty tapir]

Yeah but it isn’t called some dudes name of who discovered it, blue sheep works because it is a blue wild sheep

[merry basin]

Pére David’s Deer are named after a French monk. Plus, they’re far more known as “Pere David’s Deer” than as “Milu” or “Elaphure”.

It’s not a Bharal situation where most people know them as both Bharal and Blue Sheep.

[gusty tapir]

Yeah ok well i prefer animals having their own names yk, no matter how many people know it as

[merry basin]

Well what about Gambel’s Quail? It doesn’t have any other name.

[gusty tapir]

Give it a new one based on maybe how it calls sound like, a feature that makes it stick out, certain color variation, haven’t seen the animal so i wouldn’t know. What i can accept though is regional names like California Quail

[merry basin]

You’re gonna freak out when you hear about all the Gazelles in Africa

[gusty tapir]

Yeah ik about Thompson’s gazelle, i imagine that’s just british hunters discovering new species or whatever and them just saying ”that’s mine i saw it first”. But that could be very untrue since idk the full story on that

[merry basin]

Well there’s also Cuvier’s, Speke’s, Soemmerring’s, and Grant’s Gazelles. Most of them are named after scientists or (in the case of the Grant’s Gazelle) were named as such simply because there wasn’t another name for the animal in the native language (Swahili actually took the English name and translated the word gazelle into their native language, making the new phrase for Grant’s Gazelle in Swahili “swala granti”)

[gusty tapir]

that’s interesting but to get this post back on topic, what animals would we like to see on Parque? I could imagine spectacled bears maybe

[sand garnet]

Silver teal

[merry basin]

The aforementioned Spotted Nothura and Pere Davids Deer, as well as various waterfowl species like Silver Teal, Chiloe Wigeon, Red Shoveler, and Black-Headed Duck, just to name a few.

[gusty tapir]

Would love to hunt any type of shoveler, they look cool and make really uniqe sounds

[magic shoal]

Be nice to have more native species from Patagonia on the map, Guanaco or Vicuña, Patagonian Mara, Culpeo, Huemul (Rare), Lesser Rhea, Andean Goose, Magellans Goose, Ringed Teal, and Brazilian Teal would be a few options that would be nice to see. As well as the birds mentioned by Shrader.

[merry basin]

I definitely agree. Parque could use 7-8 new species, most of which being waterfowl.

I think if they add Pere Davids Deer on the East side of the map, Guanacos on the West side, Mara in the interior parts of the map, and then add in some Brazilian Teal, Ringed Teal, and maybe some White-Cheeked Pintail it would fill the map out fairly well. Argentina doesn’t need another map imo, Parque just needs new species.

6-7 is better
