- I'm a bit bummed by the spotted hyena pack limit. In the wild they live in large clans with up to 80+ members, with an average of 20-30. So if we could have at least 12-20 hyenas in a habitat in the game, that would be really awesome. For a hyena-lover like myself, the 4 adults limit feels sad and lonely.
- I'd absolutely loooove if we could have Striped Hyenas at some point. Aside from them being wonderful animals, it would be a great opportunity to give them some much needed (near threatened!) spotlight. Unlike their spotted cousins they only live in male/female pairs but can co-habit with gray wolves! They'd be an ideal addition to a middle-east/India/or Asia DLC
Realistic Hyena pack limit increase & wish for more species

1. I don't mind bigger clans/packs but you are comparing the situation in the wild, with a situation in a zoo. I think it's fair to compare it with other RL zoos. I don't know the number about those.
2. Sure. No problems with that one
I think it's fair to raise the maximum pack size to at least on par with the canines (and yes I know hyenas aren't canines). AWDs can have up to 27, wolves can have up to 12, lions can have up to 30, hippos can have up to 30, flamingos can have up to 500. I don't know of a zoo (a regular zoo, not a reserve) that has that many, so I think raising the max for hyenas would be pretty reasonable.
I also wish for bigger Hyena Packs. I absolutely love them but it's a Eternity since the last time Hyenas lived in my Zoo (more than 500 Ingame Years) because it's too sad and annoying that I can only have 3 adult Hyenas if I don't want them to fight all the Time. I do not understand what's so difficult about adding the Pack-System and a more realistic Group-Size to Hyenas too (similar Problem with Chimpanzees. The Game says we can have multiple males but if I have more than one male, they immediately start fighting all the time which isn't very realistic)
Agree, 3 adults really is too few when there's enough space provided. I actually thought the same about the herbivores like zebras, wildebeests etc. that live in huge herds in the wild so why should they have a problem with large numbers in a habitat if there's enough space provided. Would actually be kinda interesting if the social limit increased the bigger the habitat gets...
Indeed. This is on my mind as well.
