I mean you say that but it does represent to an
extremely insane degree of accuracy to both North African scenery and architecture, while giving the same love to the animals from the southern regions of the continent. Nobody said that the animals and the scenery need to match up. It's the Africa Pack, not the North Africa pack nor the South Africa pack. Having lived in Morocco for a considerable amount of time, the level of detail that Frontier achieved with the building set from what we've seen is jaw-dropping. They captured the beauty from the simplistic walls and stone, to the intricate levels of detail for tiles and mosaics that are often found in Arabic and Moorish architecture.
I feel like the criticism between the dichotomy of the scenery and the animals is justified when you view the game from "The Animals represent the Scenery, vice versa", but for the zoo game, it fits very well and I will defend Frontier on this decision. I wanted Frontier to take more innovation and do some more out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to scenery, and they absolutely did that and nailed it. One of the biggest complains I had with SEA was no scenery, specifically ones that relate to the Angkor-Wat style of building which would have taken it to new levels. But I'll look over that since the animals are pretty good. Save for a single Tapir
Frontier and the development team(s) have 100% captured the essence of North Africa, and have absolutely done it justice. We can complain about a single Meerkat Egyptian-style piece all we want, but when it all comes down to it, I can tell this pack is going to be one of the best. I don't see them doing a disservice to either North Africa by lumping them with Central/South African animals - or vice versa. I see them rather doing both North Africa the justice it deserves by the scenery being emblematic of the cultural beauty of the region, and doing the Central/South African regions justice by representing the natural beauty of the areas to an amazing extent from what we've seen so far. It's not an "either-or", it's a "one-and-two". I will defend this choice until the cows come home.
Think about it in the same way that the Arctic Pack represented Norse culture with the beautiful Stave Church, rustic architecture, as well as cultural representations of the Christmas holiday and art that represented that. Meanwhile, Arctic Wolves don't necessarily share the same locale. In fact, Polar Bears moreso, because they're more around the Arctic cap and don't even touch Norway. But still, Frontier did justice to both of these very well in their own ways.
. I hope that in the 180 building pieces there are also a proper sphynx and a proper pharaoh sculpture. But i'm ready to be disappointed
