Map of the entire roster by (approximate) animal distribution

The position is meant to show the center, but the map also needs tk be balsnced. Many people here and on reddit complained that we need more north asian animals because of how elpty it looks on the map, despite the fact we have like 12 animals from that region, they just happen to be placed in europe and north america on the map. So both sides have a valid argument.


Next update the Emu can be moved a bit east, but also remaij in the west to help balance australua out, as it is indeed unlikely we'll get more animals from western australia.

Tbh thats not a fair complaint depending on the amount of ressources available.
The map with just one icon is fundamentally flawed in its inability to depict the ranges of animals that stretch far and wide, but aslong as the version with multiple icons is available, the fault layes by the person not using the information correctly. The 1 icon map will never be able to acuratly depict a large range and that wont change if icons are moved a bit. Move the euopre icons farther west to be closer to northern asia and people will complain about an empty europe.

The only way to prevent empty spaces would probably be an interactive overlay map but that's quite the challenge to set up for just a basic animal coverage map

The wombat and platypus got swapped again? Looks like you two are using different versions of the file when making new edits.

From north to south the pins should be koala-platypus-wallaby-wombat based on average distribution. I'd also recommend starting from the southernmost one so the last one doesn't end up too north.

@yoav_r @nutrit I think the common wombat and platypus should swap places because the two species share temperate ranges in both the mainland and Tasmania, but the platypus also ranges further north into the tropics.

Watched it and the creator left us with soke homework. What would you put in a tropical pack?
Click to expand...
a guenon, a colobus, or a spider monkey (I find it hard to narrow when we have so many monkeys to chose from)
a tortoise (red-footed or burmese forest)
ocelot
bush dog
red river hog
tree kangaroo
lowland anoa
a chameleon or rainbow lorikeets for exhibit animals

Honorable mentions since I want to have some outlandish choices im my mind:
tayra
lowland tapir
Cuban hutia
lowland paca
Asian palm civet

Tree kangaroo or southameican coati
Colobus monkey (Mantled guereza)
Golden lion tamarin
Red river hog
Scarlet ibis
Macaws/parrots for WE: scarlet, blue and yellow, hyacinth, african grey parrot and red fronted amazon

Three primates and only 1 carnivore is maybe too much to ask for. The birds are just wishful thinking.

My personal wishlist for tropical?

Red River Hog
Goodfellows Tree Kangaroo
Golden Lion tamarin
Ocelot
macaws as walkthrough (prefferably 2-3 kinds)

if its a animal pack add these:
Squirrel or spider monkey
Crocodile Monitor
Sloth

The thing about a tropical pack is that its very intertwined with a potential islands pack, as they tread common ground especally on madagascar, new guinea and indonesia:
So what would my choices be?
For tropical baseline would be:
  • 2 monkeys, preferably one old one new world
  • South American Coati
  • 1 Ungulate
  • 1 Reptile, we havent had one for so long
  • 1 Bird
  • The Sloth cause its the sloth
  • 1 Wild Card

And for islands id propaply prefer 1 per island mostly so lets go:
  • Shetland Pony for the Shetland Isles
  • Nene for Hawai
  • One Animal from Madagascar
  • 3 Things from Oceania
  • One Wild Card
  • Something Aquatic/Coastal

Soooo Now lets Mix them up
  • Madagascar can easily get 2 Animals that would be interchangeable with the Fossa and either the Parsons Charmeleon or Radiated Tortoise being great tropical reptiles
  • New Guinea has obviously the Tree Kangaroo, but the Pignosed Turtle and the Victorian Crowned Pidgeon both would add greatly to the game
  • Indonesia has a great selection of tropical and islands animals

​
TropicalIslands
Parsons Chameleon/Radiated Tortoise<=>Fossa
Tree Kangaroo
Victoria Crowned Pidgeon		<=>Pig Nosed Turtle
Rainbow Lorikeet (WE)<=> (If we count Australia as an island that is)Bali Mynah (WE)
A South American Monkey, literally any is fineA Penguin (Little Blue being preferd)
Red River Hog Could also be <= with Crested Macaque in Islands instead for double Sulawesi action over both packsAnoa
Mantled Guereza/De Brazas Monkey<= as above one monkey could also be replaced by the crested macaque, where the not south american one would be preferedNene
South American CoatiShetland Pony
Kiwi/Tassie Devil

I hope that was understandable enough, but really i do believe that a tropical pack should be an expansion for Islands in some ways, giving us a second or even third new animal for the higher profile islands of Madagascar, New Guinea and arguably Sulawesi without taking away different island diversity.
I also would want tassie devil or kiwi as both have not really a global presence to speak of and are very very niche outside their native countrys. Id prefer to get one now and the other in the future as an easy headliner, like kiwi in an nocturnal pack

Oh damn, I was thinking of the complete wrong monkey. Mantled guereza then.

I dunno, the Middle East still seems empty, despite that Grasslands pack adding 2 species to that area.

@yoav_r, what do you think? Like, to make it an acceptable roster for that area, is it ok? Or are there more species from that area that would be needed? I think the camel is 1, correct?

Dromedary, Hamadryas Baboon, fun stuff.
Not from the middle east but the first 2 are whats defenetly missing with animals like the rock hyrax, golden jackal, arabian onyx, sand cat and even stuff like the wild boar, Ring necked pheasent or the roe deer can be found in the northern parts of it.

The middle east animals common in zoos but not yet in the game are the dromedary and hamadrayas baboon.

To get a more comprehensive local roster we'll need the arabian oryx, rovk hyrax, onager, a gazelle, nubian ibex, and some subspecies of species already in the game like the persian leopard and syrian brown bear. All of those are very unlikely.

If I had to make like a middle east pack it would probably be:
Honey badger (as the headliner)
Dromedary
Nubian ibex
Hamadryas baboon
Mabey a small duck WE they seem to have a lot of those in the middle east surprisingly
