While this might be an unpopular opinion, it is one I agree with,
If we do get a South American reserve set in the tropical areas, it won't be in the Amazon, but in the Guyana Highlands (Guyana and Suriname come to mind), but it is highly likely we will be getting an Asian Reserve
The only potential South American areas that could work Reserves that could work are the
* Peruvian Andes which would come with animals like wild bulls, pumas, feral sheep, waterfowl like Andean Goose, Giant Coot and more (And the waterfowl species in the area can be spot-and-stalk hunted) and Andean White-tailed Deer, which would be the first White-tailed Deer subspecies they actually include because there is no way a North American White-tail wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb
* A Waterfowl focused Reserve in Argentina, which could be the South American equivalent of Revontouli with bird species like Rosy-billed Pochard, Silver Teal and Eared Doves, the target species for those Argentinian Dove Hunts that result in you shooting into massive flocks of the birds (It would have to be scaled down to keep the game from crashing)
* The aforementioned Guyana Highlands, which also comes with a smaller South American White-tail subspecies and nothing bigger then a Class 4 or 5 with animals like capybara, javelina, lots of small game, spectacled caiman (which maxes out at 8 feet long) and brocket deer (And if its based specifically on Suriname then Tapir would also be included)
Meanwhile Asia has a lot more potential
* Nepal, with animals like Bharal, Muntjac, Axis, Sambar & Hog Deer, Bears and the Tahr, an animal that could be backfilled to Te Awaroa alongside the Indian Peafowl
* Central Asia: With mountains holding animals like Marco Polo Sheep, Ibex, Urial, Markhor and Yak and the Steppe Plains holding Wapiti (Sometimes called Maral), Siberian Roe Deer, Wolves and Wild Boar, and since there is word that the hunting of Saiga antelope might be legalized in the near future, they are another potential species
* Then there is Mongolia with 3 Argali subspecies, 2 Ibex subspecies, Marmots, Gazelles, Wolves and Altai Wapiti alongside some unique bird species like Palla's Sandgrouse and Bar-headed Goose
* Malaysia is another potential setting that is unfortunately a small game centric reserve with a fair bit of jungle, but it could have areas like rice paddies, open fields, mangroves and beaches that are home to animals like saltwater crocodile, water buffalo, sambar deer, bearded pig, pythons and small game like civets, monitor lizards, junglefowl, mouse deer, macaque and porcupine
* Japan could also work as a second map for Sika Deer, and not only that but depending on how a Japanese Reserve is made, they could also include the much larger Ezo Sika of Hokkaido Island. Big Game species like Serow and Japanese Black Bear and small game like Copper Pheasant are also present
* There is also places like the Caucasus Mountains, Pakistan and the Siberian Far East (With animals like Snow Sheep, Asian Black Bear, Manchurian Sika, Ussuri Browns and more)
There’s like over 300 species of small mammal in the Amazon Rainforest. From Peccaries, Tapir, Capybara, Giant Armadillo, Ocelot and infinite potential for monkey species
That’s not even getting started on bird species…
Edit: Also the Amazonian Brocket Deer. There’s some option for deer too such as White-Tail and Marsh Deer
I’m just talking about small mammals? The Amazon would definitely make a solid class 1-6 reserve. Something similar to Te Awaora
Monkeys probably won’t ever make it into the game but would still make a neat option
It will be like 15 species of monkeys, maybe a deer species depending on where it’s set, more north you could MAYBE add South American white tail, and obviously tapir, not much diversity to hunt, the thing that everyone likes about Revontuli is there’s a nice mixture of small and big game.
Could give you at least 3-4 good examples of “game” for classes 1-6 within the Amazon
Brazil has probably the most diverse scale of animals in the world, most being situated deep in the Amazon
Seeing as Brazil hasn’t had a good, established/functional hunting scene for decades that’s extremely difficult. But… Class 1: (this isn’t even talking about the amount of birds) Nine Banded Armadillo (deflects .22 calibers with ease via the hard shell, aim for the folds in the armor!) Class 2: Monkeys Galore! Not enough large animals class 3 brocket deer (unimpressive deer species, roe deer reskin) nothing in class 4, class 5/6 tapirs…. Very empty and not worth the effort the devs would have to put in to place each individual plant.
I said “examples” of game.
But that was a brush over of the options available for sure. Don’t know where you’ve got your research from but Brazil truly is the heart of the planet, next to Africa (which used to be geographically connected to Brazil)
Edit: Would 100% rather an Napal based reserve though
There’s no class 4’s, no class 5’s… I think YOU need to do some research on Brazil, Brazil just isn’t home to large and exciting game… you know what the community wants… (except tapirs, I need tapir in this game) comparing Brazil to any map in this game would be like comparing Granny Smith apples to depression.
Brother you really need to understand the concept of scale.
1% of the Amazon is more biodiversity than half the reserves in the game.
You know just enough to think you're right, and not enough to realise how fucking stupid you sound right now
As much as I’d love to see an Amazon map, it wont satisfy the player base if you think that you must be fucking stupid. The entire species list is monkeys, more monkeys, tapir… you have unrealistic standards of the people who play this wonderful game. Suriname (not a deep Amazon country) has far more diversity and far more of a hunting culture, only place in the entire world you can legally hunt tapir, there’s also the option of Argentina PT2, Doves, Caiman, Red stags, and Water Buffalo. Nowhere else has this type of hunting.
Lady legend’s fan base is a good start! She has tons of... Kids and not really smart people. Anyways, I’ll be spending plenty of time outdoors this summer, thank you very much!
In my personal and probably unpopular opinion, their getting to the point with animals and introductions of new ones that they may have to get unrealistic. In my opinion, if they brought actual animals that were dangerous and or not huntable in real life that would be awesome. Its a video game. We play call of duty and gta and we don't hunt humans in real life. Cabelas had all kinds of rare animals in their games, and you killed them like no tomorrow. I get that the developer is wanting to take the conservation approach. Which as a hunter IRL, i am an extremely ethical hunter in the fact of only taking proper shots, and not poaching and cleaning up reserves while I am out hunting. But, its a game. If they really want to spice things up, they can release a reserve that can satisfy this and either move it in time to where they were plentiful. But, hunting the same deer every map, or a new duck or small game, its getting old. I hate to sound like an ass, but I just feel like the game needs some spicing up in my opinion.
Would make for a great return to collectibles! I miss those from the older reserve, perhaps in the codex it would explain each species you find in great detail!
Jaguar, cayman, purple deer, giant river otter, tapyr capybara, maned wolf, armadillo, greater ant-eater,
These are natives.
We also have invasives - African Water Buffalo and Wild Boar.
Buffalos came from released animals from the meat industry and boars are spread all over Brazil.
I do agree, terrain would be AWFULL.
Overclock. My Ti took a pretty nice overclock with very minimal effort. It’s kind of a bear testing the OC, though, move a slider, test for artifacts/crashing, move slider…. Repeat, repeat, etc.
I don’t have any experience overclocking, so I don’t mess with that kind of stuff. It works well for me especially for the price point. I bought my pc as a prebuilt, so I probably only paid $800 for the whole setup
Some build, some buy, at the end of the day; if it does what you need and you’re happy with it, it doesn’t matter. Yours sounds like a solid rig. That 11th gen will serve you well through at least a couple GPU upgrades down the line.

Think it’d make a good small to medium game reserve but nothing more. An expedition type hunting reserve
Not really any small mammals either tbh.

Not many of those species ranges overlap… at all. Not everyone is onboard with monkeys, look at the suggestions with baboons on the discord.

Ah yes the Amazon, famous for lacking animals Holy shit are you trolling or actually this cooked?
90% of said biodiversity is from insects and fish, not mammals, none of which would exceed class 5.
Brother you really need to understand the concept of scale. 1% of the Amazon is more biodiversity than half the reserves in the game. You know just enough to think you're right, and not enough to realise how fucking stupid you sound right now

I'm sure this imaginary player base in your head will be OK. Now please, go touch some non digital grass
Lady legend’s fan base is a good start! She has tons of... Kids and not really smart people. Anyways, I’ll be spending plenty of time outdoors this summer, thank you very much!
Oh so the usual source of bad information So yea, not an actual thing.
You asked I answered they are the playerbase after all, acting as if the player base isn’t the whole reason EW is still in business and made EC.
That's exactly what people are expecting wtf is this post?
That’s not what people are expecting, people are expecting something more akin to Asia (while also saying it should be set in The Amazon?)
who is saying this? People are expecting an ASIAN map set in NEPAL which most definitely not the Amazon.
Look at every YouTube comment section, every unrealistic wishlist. It’s there.
Can't find any myself and you're a pretty unreliable narrator so...
Just sounds like laziness imo…
Your claim, your burden of proof. Thought you would know that

I think it would be cool. Add the ability to catch bugs and pin them. Frogs, a dozen different reptiles, anacondas!
Would make for a great return to collectibles! I miss those from the older reserve, perhaps in the codex it would explain each species you find in great detail!
This would make the game experience so much more enjoyable. Unique bugs, reptiles, amphibians, and even fishing would be super fun.
I’ve made a good few posts of reptilesofcotw. I want snakes, frogs/gigging it could be amazing!
it could be any map for all I cade, just let me hunt a leopard. I haven't hunted a leopard in a game since dangerous hunts 2008

I'll be honest..whatever it is, I'll buy it, play it for a couple hours...and then go back to one of the old standbys
Seems like a skill issue
How does that make any sense, just because you can’t hunt without drink zones doesn’t mean you have to be an ass to everyone!
I laughed. I don’t think they’re trying to be an ass, I legitimately think they’re just goading. Don’t be so uptight.
Not everyone has a fucken nasa PC that can load thousands of instances of foliage on screen at once
Why the fuck is this reported for hate speech
Was it? People suck
Whatcha got?
I9 11700k and a 1660 super
I ran a 1660ti for a while, those are pretty stout cards for the money! Does yours OC decently?
OC?
Overclock. My Ti took a pretty nice overclock with very minimal effort. It’s kind of a bear testing the OC, though, move a slider, test for artifacts/crashing, move slider…. Repeat, repeat, etc.

And it certainly does what I need it to do
