DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

So basically borneo pygmy elephant status is a fraud mostly made up in name of their conservation.
Every source claiming size range about 20% smaller than mainland elephants is using iconic enormous population from indian subcontinent to show how small these are in comparison, while ignoring indochinese specimens, which gone undersizing process from same ecological pressure.

No wonder indian elephants in game is so undersized, when basically indian elephants living in malayan peninsula are literally as big as bornean one.
Their conservation isn't completely without merit, genetically they are distinguishable, the population being likely older than the Holocene.

 
The desire for blackbuck and pheasant is bringing back memories of the desire for coati and mara....

Why are you so skeptical about an announcement today? Why do you mostly think next week is more likely despite the community challenge starting on June 24 already?
 
Never forget where I was in the Early Fall of 2022, when they announced a lo-fi album instead of DLC...
Ooooof that was rough.

For the last 3 slots I would personally pick:

1. Golden Pheasant / Himalayan Monal - Honestly you cannot go wrong with a colourful bird.

2. Blackbuck / Nilgai - We need an asian antelope, I would prefer Nilgai, but Blackbuck seems more likely.

3. Raccoon Dog - I think it is a fairly popular pick. Frontier loves Dogs, I love dogs. It is a match.

Even if many dislike the elephant, I think the DLC can still end up really great.
This would have me dancing around the house! Absolutely phenomenal picks!

Yeah. Most likely Will end up being the exact same situation. How do i know that? Because of course those two are possibly my most wanted asian animals since ever (alongside with the mandarín duck). And I know what Frontier does when is the perfect pack for my most wanted animals.... Ignore them completly 😃
 
The paradox here is that there's actually tons of species I'd be extremely happy with in an Asia Pack, BUT most of them are seemingly unlikely here cos of the wetland thing and being blocked by similar species already in the pack....

Best case scenario now would have at least

  • Golden or Lady Amherst's Pheasant
  • Yak or Gaur

Ideally King Cobra exhibit too, but that seems unlikely
