DLC18 discussion and predictions

[Utahraptor Arcanus]

Meanwhile, SA has Giganotosaurus (big southern lizard. Whoop-dee-do)
This is sarcasm

Maip macrothorix would like to have a word.

Hopefully...

...15 mins ?

 

[USzoofan42]

15 minutes!!!!

 

[synthetase]

IF its not within: 14 mins
we might reach 700 pages

If we don't get PZ news in 15 minutes, I at least get to see a new Tinto map for Project Caesar

 

[Marvinb]

We better get something because this is turning into a dinosaur thread pretty quickly

 

[Chuditch]

It's a small sample size on range for both (1 place and 3 places respectively). They're also not the same age, with the Dinosaur cove fossils being a bit older. The Dinosaur cove fossil layers are also pretty thin, so not finding certain things wouldn't be unexpected.

Yes, that's why I said they aren't known from Antarctica, not that we know they didn't occur there. Though, as I said, I think it's significantly less likely that Muttaburrasaurus lived in Antarctica than Leaellynasaura.

May i ask, what is your favorite dinosaur?

Probably a Sauropod of some kind like Brachiosaurus or maybe even iguanadon is what I would’ve said as a kid. Now I think I’d say Therizonosaurus or Deinocheirus always liked the giant-browser animal archetype. (I wish we didn’t kill off ground sloths)

My favorite phone app is Simcity Buildit which is always getting kind of new content!

I see this as a absolute win.

Snap, crackle, pop, my dinosaur brain is fried today (but in defense, I dunno much about the Maip)

You say that like it's a bad thing

iguanadon

I love Iggys. They're #4 in my top 5 favorites

Man how could would it be to have those in mixed SA habitats with rheas, tapirs and stuff in zoos if they were still around

I love them too and totally forgot about them... They look majestic and gentle!

 

[NachoB]

Oh yeah I know the silhouette is Hamadryas. Just manifesting the Gelada alongside the Hamadryas.
(Unlikely I know but let me dream)

Tbh that is one of the reasons i think it is a Zookeeper or collection pack and not a Mountains pack. Gelada would have been such a Frontier pick for a Mountain pack (it also fits the theme better) but the fact they went with hamadryas might indicate is not a mountain pack because tbh is kinda shoe horned into that theme.

Unless this is a climbing animal pack, just like Aquatic was about living, in which case most mountain animals also fit. If that's the case i expect coati, NWM and tree kangaroo as well. And with a roster like that even if not names "collection" pack it kinda is still. And if it is a barnyard style pack then we could get new climbing pieces. Also the climbing system is something people have been asking to be fixed for a long time.

Grey Fox? Or Tanuki!

Oh very nice! I love city builders!

Hey, there are rumors they're still alive deep in SA (probably not, but still)

I mean we also had arid were they went with porcupine and rhino instead of the obvious hamadryas baboon or spurred tortoise, so hamadryas doesnt rule out a mountains pack for me

 

[Chuditch]

Also a reminder before the storm that if the pack isn't announced in the next 10 minutes, there's still another 2 hours in which the DLC could be revealed (as has been done before). So don't freak out straight away.
