Add Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes, Crocodiles, and Zebras to Tikamoon Plains (A.K.A, The Great Tikamoon Update)

[KingOfKreations]

Tikamoon Plains is, in my opinion, the least exciting map in the entire game. There are only 12 animals (the least out of any map in the game) on it, which is really shocking because Africa is home to countless game animals of all shapes and sizes. The fact that there are no Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes, Crocodiles, Zebras, or other popular African game animals in general is an insult to the entire community who plays this game (it's especially insulting because we see a mounted Rhino horn and Elephant head in the Nez Perce Valley story missions). Now, you all can make this happen by letting all your voices be heard by signing this petition here: https://www.change.org/p/add-elephants-rhinos-hippos-giraffes-crocodiles-and-zebras-to-way-of-the-hunter?utm_medium=custom_url&utm_source=share_petition&recruited_by_id=194a3c50-b898-11ef-9fb1-a9828654a6bb)

I've decided not to sign. Those are mostly protected/endangered, WOTH is an ethical, conservation, herd management hunting simulation; doesn't need this at all.

Big game hunting almost every animal on that list in Africa is perfectly legal and ethical. It might hurt some people's feelies because they deem a giraffe's life more valuable than a mule deer's, but that's just emotionally driven inconsistency.

I'd be all for those animals being added to an African map and completely agree with the OP: their omission is a very, very weak move from the devs.

Can simply walk on the plains and shoot ten elephants?
I was under the impression that there are only a set number of licenses for each species, a restricted time window, limits and requirements for harvesting an animal, and lastly they are exorbitantly expensive. Oh, and it's not going to happen; reference the road map.

Yes, it will happen. There are no licenses, restricted time windows, or limits and requirements for harvesting animals in Way of the Hunter. That means that, once Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes, Crocodiles, and Zebras are added to Tikamoon Plains, plus the fact that WOTH is a video game and not real life, we will be able to hunt as many of those animals as we want and never have to worry about them going extinct. I strongly recommend that you sign the petition and spread the word. Remember, this is just a video game, not real life.

Now you're just moving goalposts my friend. And goody for the roadmap and those who get their knickers in a twist over big game hunting in Africa, I guess?

[6Taylor4]

seems that way.

and that's why it's boring. Its a game let us hunt what we want. Or allow mods, where people can mod in animals if they choose to.

It's just a game man. It's not that deep

[6Taylor4]

Neither is the petition.

I agree with the sentiment that an African map should have more big game animals represented, but not the statement "that's why this game is boring." For the animals that ARE on offer, it's absolutely riveting cultivating, stalking and shooting them. This game is only "boring" if you're looking for a more arcade like experience, in which case hunting an elephant isn't even going to hold your interest.

The more variation the smaller the herds. The AI can only handle so much.

who could in their right mind shoot a giraffe?

Assuming that it's a regulated/licensed hunt, what's the difference between shooting a giraffe and an elk, or a moose? Or a fox, or a wolf?

HUGE DIFFERENCE!
World populations:
Giraffes - 117,000
Elk - 1 million in North America alone
Moose - 1.5 million
Fox - 9.4 million
Wolves - 250,000
International Fund for Animal Welfare reports: "Though giraffes as a species are not considered endangered, some giraffe subspecies are. Out of eight assessed subspecies, two—the reticulated giraffe and the Masai giraffe—are classified as endangered. Another two, the Kordofan giraffe and the Nubian giraffe, are critically endangered.Feb 5, 2024"

So yeah - don't shoot Griraffes!

how does this have anything to do with a game lol. You're shooting a pixel bullets at other pixels that look like animals. It's not like their population is gunna change IRL when someone blasts one in the game LMFAO
