Well, in my proposal I had the same number if African animals than in your proposalI don't want the yak or another crocodile. The muskox is high on the wishlist which is why I included it. And honestly an African monkey is way better for diversity in such a pack. It's an Old World Pack, not an Asia Pack
I love the weird, atypical antelopes so much, like why did this guy only ever do neck day
So do I but I've been desperate for the blackbuck for so long now. Between the gaur and the nilgai though I'm choosing the nilgai.I love the weird, atypical antelopes so much, like why did this guy only ever do neck day
Either one final pack to be bundled with Americas or (unrealistically) a post-console type Animal Pack + a great big DLC Pack that isn’t bundled with anything else.
Ah the battle between blackbuck and nilgai.
I think both have their perks, blackbuck being the (atleast in eu) second most common "antelope" in zoos, but its also all things consider "just another gazelle", so it will maybe get lost between all the other mid sized antelopes we have. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing as asia is for sure missing those more, i dont wanna say boring but more inconspicuous filler hoofstock.
The nilgai isnt as common but its alot more unique looking and would be our largest antelope i think.
Personally id probably go with the nilgai, but i think there isnt a wrong choice between these two

I mean in an ideal world yeah.
But if we get another asia pack id prefer one antelope and the muntjac with a more traditional deer if there is gonna be a 3rd ungulate, which im kinda eh about. The second antelope would be the 4 ungulate, which would definitely be one too much for my taste.
Another Asia Pack would probable filled with ungulates: blackbuck, nilgai, gaur, yak, serow, Muntjac, pere David deer, chital, barasingha, sambar, anoa, banteng etc. There are way too many options for them not to pick at least there lol we know how they are with antelopes.
Also we got both the takin and the wisent in the Eurasia pack when we thought it was going to be one or the other, but they left out the markhor in favor of the takin that is a better parallel so who knows..
O
One advantage of the blackbuck that makes it stand out amongst the other gazelles is their colour dimorphism. I personally prefer the blackbuck over the nilgai, but wouldn't be mad at either.
I can see the next dlc being either India or a Safari pack.
If the former, i believe we will see the blackbuck and ratel, if the latter, i just hope it isn't 100% focused on Africa.

I prefer the blackbuck, for me it's just more iconic but both are good and I'd be happy to see them both make it. Would be cool for a mixed enclosure, maybe with the water buffalo or rhino? I know blackbuck have been mixed with rhinos and elephants before, does anyone know what nilgai have been mixed with?
Maybe I'm weird, but if we got an Asia Pack, I would gladly take the Reeve's Muntjac and Pere David's Deer over pretty much any other ungulate
As much as I'd love an India pack, if we get another pack it'll be much more likely to be a safari/Africa 3 pack than India/south Asia
I wouldn’t complain for an all Africa safari pack, long as there’s “diversity” among the pack, I’d love it. Here’s my ideal roster if it had to be all African:
• Bird #1
• Common Eland
• Bat Eared Fox
• Vervet Monkey
• Gerenuk / Duiker
• Slender Snouted Crocodile
• Bird # 2
Birds 1&2 can really be anything, all of them are phenomal:
ground hornbill, pelican, gray crowned crane, secretary bird, guinea fowl, African spoonbill, shoebill, marabou stork or saddle billed stork.

So what about a forest pack, it's kinda like how Wetlands had animals from all sorts of climates and sub-biomes so this is a mix of temperate and tropical. Also I forgot black bear, so let's just say that was the anniversary animal.

Yeah, if there's two packs left - which I think is not that likely but what do I know - some kind of Safari with a focus but not totality of African species would be my hopes. I want so much to include the Honey Badger, the Mara and the Secretary Bird but wonder if they would be too resource heavy for the current developer's team.
But my dream roster would be those three, the Masai Giraffe (So controversial I know), Nile Crocodile, Blackbuck and Bat Eared Fox/Jackal - though I can see the Serval making it in instead of one of those - however no matter that roster, of out of those they were be the pretty low resource part of the roster.
I love it. Are perentie's forest animals? I thought they were more deserty. EDIT: Oh okay it's a tegu
I would get an owl in there if I were allowed such a thing.
A good pack for the ABB, maybe instead of the perentie.
Perhaps a langur or macaque instead of the squirrel monkey to keep the theme firmly as 'forests' and not 'rainforests'?
