I think the point here is the word 'essential' rather than it being a numbers game, but I'd still disagree anyway - plenty of European species are "essential".
European Pack Wishlist
- Thread starter rebeq
- Start date
In that case I'd say it's not really relevant. "Essential" to you isn't essential to someone else, and vice versa. European zoos tend to hold a lot of European species, ergo European species are essential for European zoos.
I have to disagree, I have zoos in my country with ONLY native animals. And besides "odd" zoo animals is what I would like to have, because in zoo tycoon 2 it was all the "normal" zoo animals, so it would be fun having some new ones. Besides this is a game, so any animal could be included, not only the popular ones.
Yeah, Europe is a big place with many different species!
If I could be so brave to suggest that we even could have one pack for Northern Europe and one for the MediterraneanI agree with you completely why is there so few Mediterranean species in the game??We definitely need more.
Then we could have a prehistoric theme for northern Europe, as someone previously mentioned and then a ancient greek theme for the southern Europe! With pretty pillars, marble buildings and obelisks as statues and so one!Lets see what i get from the top of my head:
Here are already 30 of the top of my head that would be worthwile inclusions to the game.

This is ridiculous, none of these animals can be considered "essential" except for the porcupine, boar, and the deer. Maybe the fox too.
Also about the "essential" part, how would You even define it?
Because animals like the lynx or ibex are seen as the most wanted animal by Not only me but most of the community from europe

I would love a Nordic pack, an Alpine pack, a Mediterranean pack and an eastern steppes and forest pack but unfortunately I don’t think we will get a whole year devoted to Europe.If I could be so brave to suggest that we even could have one pack for Northern Europe and one for the Mediterranean
But I’m not too keen on classical architecture for a zoo game. I know some people love to build regardless of how realistic it is but despite the recent much-needed mesh pieces we still lack lots of pieces which would be helpful in building realistic zoos and Europe might be a good opportunity to get those.
However given that the Arctic DLC gave us the opportunity to build a Frozen film theme park rather than an actual zoo with pieces reflecting actual Scandinavian/Nordic zoos and normal architecture, I’m not that confident.
Tbf the arctic pieces are really great if you want to do finer woodwork or just a witherd wood look in general, ebenthough i understand the critic
Thank you
Olms would be amazing!
That is the fun part - it is totally subjective. I for one dont consider the wild boar essential at all. Never seen it in a zoo, and I am from Europe.
I’ve seen them in about 20 I think. Not at the top of my list but definitely one I hope they include.
Ooh... yes. Or something like this:If I could be so brave to suggest that we even could have one pack for Northern Europe and one for the Mediterranean
European woodlands:
Red deer
Alpine ibex
Eurasian river otter / Red fox
European badger
- European adder
Mediterranean:
Fallow deer
Iberian lynx
Barbary macaque
European hare
- Fire salamander
I think there are many pieces that could help create an nordic zoo, pieces from the artic pack, like previously mentioned, and also from the aquatic pack, where you can build red houses with white knots. But maybe you wanted some other kind of style?
I agree, I would not have thought wild boar to be essential, nor a red fox, which is what i said in my thread start. Since those are quite common animals to see in the wild. Especially roedeer, i see those all the time outside my home .. saw two of them about two hours ago. In nordic zoos with native animals, people want to see the wolfs, bears, wolwerines and lynxes, and right now only the gray wolf is in the game. But I do really want to see those uncommon zoo animals in the game though! Since it has not been done before from what I know, a red fox would be beatiful!
I really want an European pack now!
