Eurasia VS Europe VS Asia DLC

I blame paleolithic humans.

On a series note, I think the Red Deer and Wild Boar are much more versatile and unique for a megafauna slot over a wisent, but I think it would fit really well into a biodiversity/reskin pack
I guess I wouldn't call wild boar or red deer megafauna? They're not that big, especially when you consider the actual megafauna that once roamed Europe, of which wisents are one of the last few remnants.

And yeah, paleolithic humans. Of course we don't know if they caused megafauna extinctions, but they might be part of it. I wish we still had all those species alive today... Though honestly, had they been alive until recent times, they would have surely been hunted to extinction in the middle ages. Gone extinct just like the aurochs and tarpan.

By the way, I just realized that the moose is a megafauna species found in Europe (once the game extends its range into Europe, I thought there was something finicky going on there).
So 1 European megafauna slot is hopefully already filled.

I thought megafauna was any animal which weughs more than 45kg
 
I would say we should get separate Europe and Asia packs. We can easily make animal packs for each continent.

But if it's Asia, I want a big boost for colder climates. I don't mind 1, maybe 2 tropical animals, but I want the rest to be cold climate (with 1 or 2 desert animals)
The middle east would beg to differ. I can easily make an Asia desert animal pack. What is left for colder asia anyway? Wolverine, amur leopard, Saiga... although I do wish we could have more if they ever restore the mammoth steppe.

I agree. Basically, I want a couple more cold climates, add in a desert or 2, and 2 tropical. That way, I feel like Asia is more or less round out (excluding the desert animals. But we can also put together a Desert DLC, too)

An ideal Asian pack for me would be something like:
  1. Golden pheasant - tropical
  2. Lion-tailed macaque - tropical
  3. Arabian oryx - desert
  4. Hamadryas baboon - desert
  5. Musk deer - cold
  6. Amur leopard - cold
  7. Raccoon dog - cold
  8. Japanese giant salamander - cold

If there's an extra desert pack, than this one is perfect. Maybe I'd trade the raccoon dog for a wild horse
 
I hope we get Middle East stuff... I’m trying to replace my old NA area so I can build a new one with the new animals included between SA and arctic areas but I can’t until I have a replacement for that area. The perfect replacement would be Middle East because it would start my Silk Road Asia section by connecting with India then the Far East. IMO the Africa packs disconnect of scenery with animals hurt me a ton because the scenery is perfect for that area but I can’t build an area with just fennec foxes and scarab beetles

Ideally I'd like animals which could go in a desert safari habitat together, like arabian oryx, onager, sand gazelles and nubian ibex, but they are all unlikely.

I'd also like blackbucks and axis deer for Indian safaris.
 
I'd love the blackbuck. A perfect mix for the Indian rhinoceros and peafowl. TBH it's really the last Indian habitat animal that I desperately want (plenty of others I still want, of course, but the blackbuck would be enough for me).
Yep, except i’d like a grey langur too.

edit: and chital deer for the mutualistic relationship - they’d go so well together.

Recently I've seen people bring up the idea of a "Eurasia" DLC instead of a solely Europe one, just in case Frontier were to see Europe alone as not sellable enough. I think Europe could work, but I also could see Europe and North Asia together (the temperate, taiga, and tundra parts of North Asia specifically) working really well together. I threw together a concept for such a pack just to see how appealing it could look:
Honestly, I'll take them all.
But I really think your first idea (the Eurasian Animal Pack) might satisfy the community most. Advocates for more European animals would get just what they would most likely get in a 4+1 pack anyway, and those against a solitary Europe DLC would get some amazing additional animals that would turn this into an interesting, well-rounded pack. I mean, more birds are always welcome, the porcupine would be amazing to have and the walrus is one that I want to have so badly. Other interesting options could be the Saiga Antelope or the Przewalski's Horse, although both of those might fit better into an Endangered Species DLC.

I'd also gladly take that India Pack (if it also includes the Blackbuck), but fear it's not very likely.
 
That Eurasian Dlc feels like a twisted joke though lol. Especally when changing the lynx to the imo better suited eurasian lynx and instead of the alpine the siberian ibex and we have a full Northern Asia/Asia thats not SEA pack.
Its a good pack, but as an europe advocate i really do not like this to be the europe pack.
