But to put the blackbuck on they’d have to spoil/tease it. Are we even sure this is an animal pack yet? It’s oddly broken the pattern we’ve had of DLCs since Eurasia, it could be a scenery pack and then they definitely wouldn’t put three animals on the teaser art.

A Sri Lankan elephant would just be so bizarre though. A) it would mean this isn’t an India pack but a South Asia pack (which branding wise would be very confusing with Southeast Asia, especially as they’ve also chosen purple again as the pack colour, same if this was just an ‘Asia pack’.

So really it’s got to be India looking at the two Indian species on the front that they chose to tease (neither the ratel or the macaque are found outside India on the Asian continent).

If we had a different Asian elephant already I’d say sure, it could be an Indian elephant as they’re well known/famous. But I do not see a chance of Frontier adding a Sri Lankan elephant, and the more famous Bornean and Sumatran elephants simply don’t appear to fit the theme whatsoever.

Y’know ‘here’s the official branding for a new pack cover for the whole of Asia’ so here’s a load of Indian exclusive species and a temple, but lol we’ve thrown a Bornean elephant (that will easily be confused for an Indian elephant) in the back for the demonstrate this is a whole of Asia pack? It doesn’t make sense from a branding point of view imo, you’d have to make the official art more clear it isn’t India only…

Yeah they said its an animal pack, and the pack art style is in line with the other animal packs

About teasing 3 animals: Africa had meerkat, rhino and fox aswell as the dromedary sort of. australia had koala, kangaroo and cassowary. Europe had lynx, ibex and deer. Aquatic had all habitat animals. And im sure there is more. So teasing 3 animals for a scenery pack on the key art isnt anything unheard off

Honey badgers range all the way through the middle east and the majority of africa aswell

The elephants we have look terrible compared to the animals from the latest DLCs... At the very least, a new elephant would come with a good model.

Rhinos, however, we already have three, two of which look really good

Lol no they don't.

They are probably some of the animals from the base game that still hold up well.

Is not a lion or hyena or wolf or okapi situation in which they are barelly usable because of how low quality or cartoony they look. So they are not by any means a priority in terms of clones as update that we need. I rather get an asiatic lion.

Same... Asiatic Lion would be a much better choice for a clone. But the elephant is something we -sadly- have to be prepared for, since it's basically half confirmed (unless it turns out that it's really just there for the vibes, which is highly unlikely)
I'm just saying that another elephant would be far better than another rhino

Havent seen anyone mention the zebu yet. Now that we have the barnyard pack its not unreasonable to think they could sprinkle in another domestic species here or there, especially when they are such emblematic indian animals and so important to the culture.

No please, Gaur's are much more important, they are the biggest bovine in the world, and look much better than these created-by-humans cows.

I’m the opposite. I feel dogs are wayyyy over represented in this game compared to how common they are in zoos (and even how many species there are in general). And a lot quite heavily overlap (two wolves, two foxes and a coyote for NA?). Heck even Europe has three canids.

The only one I’d really appreciate now is the raccoon dog for the far East (an area without huge diversity or representation in game).

Cats on the other hand are really common in zoos and there’s a lot of them. For me the serval is a must. But I’m also open for the European wildcat, fishing cat, bobcat, Canadian lynx etc.

I was half joking. Although I dont want any more cats (I would not mind Serval, but any other I absolutely dont care about), I know people want them, so I know we probably will end up with more of them.

I still want more dogs. I dont care about any of the reasons you listed against them, cats are overrepresented in game too. But we all have our favourites and that is okay.

I don't want more cats, but Serval and Fishing Cats wouldn't make me too mad as they are pretty unique even for cats, for Canids I'm far more tired, the only one I still would tolerate is the Grey Fox as they climb trees, but does the Bush Dog also climb trees? Then I'm not even gonna care for Grey Fox climbling trees.

Using The Gyro In The Back For Height Comparison, It Turns Out The Elephant Is The Indian One Already In The Game.View attachment 430741

NGL, that’s a bad way to “conclude” it’s not gonna be Sri Lankan elephants. Animal sizes vary quite a bit in-game, so that’s not a reliable indicator. Even if sizes are consistent, it’s not like Indian and Sri Lankan elephants can't be the same size

It's honestly crazy how we went for three years without any monkeys only to get three back to back

Yeah, honestly kinda feels like a fever dream. Its almost surreal that were approaching a place were you can almost call monkeys decently represented. Still need one for african and atleast one more for south america for me to call them well represented, but hey where getting there.

I think India/South Asia really was a missed Region within the Game until now (I know South America 😀 but in little steps we get closer to a good rooster from there). And I am heavily and positive surprised that a lot of people agree with me that auch a pack could include a bit more ungulates.
Nevertheless, I am Just Happy to welcome more species to the Game soon 🙂

I really hope we get something like De Brazza's Monkey and Golden Lion Tamarin in the future... With the addition of the Lion-Tailed Macaque I feel like Asia has a pretty decent primate roster, and Madagascar has four lemur species which is a really good number in my opinion (although I wouldn't mind an aye-aye)

Let's play a game, pick 3 ungulates you want to see in this pack. I will check back in the evening to add up the score.

My three picks are Blackbuck, Chital, and Gaur
