I can just speek for Bamberg but yes, there is " Little Venice " but when I think of Nuremberg I also can imagine that there is a part of the city called like that.Great idea! Aren't there parts of Nuremberg and Bamberg which are called "Little Venice", too?And beautiful castles, I recognized Hohenschwangau immediately!
I don’t think, the animals in the signs play instruments because of the story.
I think that‘s stretching it somewhat.I don’t think, the animals in the signs play instruments because of the story.
It’s the other way around: The nice story featured music playing animals because of the signs.
And those signs are not exactly without medieval presedence:

Really, those medieval people were a quite humorous and life-affirming lot!
They had fun drawing wired stuff and signs featuring instrument playing animals are far from unrealistic.
In what way?
I don’t think it’s an established enough motif to merit inclusion on a zoo or town’s Christmas lights.
I had that in one of my zoos. It doesn't work. Guest will enter through the ticket gate, then go back to the shops outsideMaybe it's because I'm no native English Speaker but I don't have a Clue what's meant with Coach.
Would be nice to also get a Semi-trailer Truck because I'd like to create more realistic looking Backstage Areas and this could be nice for the Place where Animals and Food will arrive (even better if it's similar to the Billboards, so we can put our Zoo Name or Zoo Logo on the Side of it)
Fair enough.
).I don't think it's reaching - I think you're exactly right. It's a common medieval European motif, and Frontier played on it for their European animal decorations.Fair enough.
Still, it’s far from an uncommon motive (just google “medieval illuminations animals”; I just linked some of the pictures), it’s lighthearted and even represented in a well known fairy tale. Those pictures probably inspired FDev’s artists and from there, their imagination ran wild ...
Anyway, I just wanted to point out, that the motives in themselves are not completely baseless (and surely more appropriate than a rabbit chopping off a knight’s head ...
Personally, I don’t even fancy the Christmas decorations either. (Too specific to a short period in the year).
I’m basically playing the devil’s advocate and ask for an open mind regarding the developers’ choice.
My favorite medieval Art Pieces with Animals include giant Rabbits impaling People and Knights fighting against Giant SnailsI don’t think, the animals in the signs play instruments because of the story.

(someone should make this a Quest in a RPG. Someone tells you to protect their Vegetable Garden from Snails, so you get a Bucket of Salt and then the giant Snail appears and you need to fight it
) Thanks for the Information

I love medieval Art (and the great Meme Potential it has) Some very small Zoos/Wildparks do also have domesticated Cats roaming around, so it might also be useful if you want to build a small Zoo/Wildpark or something like a Farm that Guests can pay to visit (even though we would definitely need more Farm Animals first. Currently really fitting for a Farm would only be the Llama, the Ostrich, the Fallow Deer to some Extent, not sure about Red Kangaroos but you can at least buy their Meat)
So, would having a companion housecat as enrichment for the lynx be too much?
(IIRC St. Petersburg zoo has that, and is utterly heartwarming even if it was an accident).
It was quite a distance with mine and I still had that problem - the game is telling them that only guests can buy at zoo shops. I'd recommend leaving the original entrance (since they pay there), building your shop and building a new fake entrance thereafter.Thanks for the Information
Maybe it depends on the Distance to the Zoo Entrance (I want them to walk a While through the City after leaving the Spawner). If not, I might still place one as Decoration without a Shop inside of it. But maybe it won't cause too many Problems, I mean they probably won't all want to visit that Food Truck
