Hi there, guys.

This idea was inspired by my misunderstanding of how the hunting works since the new system was implemented. I thought it works like this, but truth is that hunting is still mostly as random as it can be. There is no tactic involved. As long as you place 5 lionesses on random tiles, they will catch any animal on those tiles without giving us a chance to have more control over what we want our lionesses to hunt.

Problem:
Hunting is still random, this way we still don't have as much control as we should have over hunting, there is no chance to build up our own strategy, this also makes it harder to complete hunting quests.

Solution:

Make tile types and the number of lionesses positioned upon them more connected

How this would look like:
You know how the prey guide tells us how many lionesses are needed to catch it?
This requirement should be made stricter, by asking that these lionesses should be on the same type of tile.

----------------------------------------

Example:
Number 1: We want to catch a buffalo.

_{(Currently, it is enough that just one lioness of the five is positioned upon one of the required tiles)}

With this new setting, we would need to position at least 4 lionesses on the same type. In our case, for example the Waterhole.

Number 2: We want to catch a Zebra and a Gemsbok.

With this new setting, you will have a much greater chance to bring them back (since you cannot bring back large carcasses that require 4-5 hunters) by placing 2 lionesses on -for example- Marshlands, and three on the Desert.

Number 3: We want to catch a Buffalo again.

With this new setting, it would strictly be required to place the lionesses on the same type. Of course, Buffalo can be also hunted in Waterhole and the Marshlands, but you cannot hope for a Buffalo if you place four lionesses mixed on these two type of tiles. You need to place them either in the Waterhole or the Marshlands.
-----------------------------
But the hunting grounds are random... We will not get 5 of all type of tiles, but sometimes only one. We will not be able to get prey from those tiles!

Every day will be a new challenge. Indeed sometimes you will not get the required number of tiles on a day for one type, but you will have plenty of others to choose from. I think this is a small sacrifice in exchange to the ability to have more control over hunting.

Does this mean that the lionesses can now bring back more than two carcasses?

No. All other settings still would apply. You cannot get more than two carcasses from a single hunt, and if the lionesses bring back a large carcass (Eg.: Buffalo) they will not bring back another. Just like now.

Okay... So... How does hunting work right now?
Currently, you can place your lionesses anywhere, if you want you can place them on completely different type of tiles and you will be able to catch any prey that is at home on those tiles. Meaning large prey too.

Eg.: To catch a buffalo you just need to make sure that you have at least a single lioness on Waterhole/Marshland and you can place the rest anywhere else. Which means, that you will catch random prey from those tiles, unable to go for specific prey according to lioness placements.

So you want to catch a giraffe calf and a Hartebbest? You probably will place 2 girls on grassy and 3 on drylake, hoping to catch those, since they require 1-2, and 2-3 girls. Right? Well, guess what! You gonna catch a Hirola or a Wildebeest! Both requiring 4-5 girls because it doesnt matter how many you place on either type of tiles! All that matters is how many girls you send hunting!
