STYX: KEA and other
Hi! KEA birds in Styx behave too slowly. Flight speed is too slow, wings moving too slow and the birds take a turn absolutely unnaturaly. The birds need 2x-3x so much speed to take off, wings min. 4-5x faster. In the air the wings speed 2x faster except sailing-flight. The diamater for turning back to their start position should be bigger, then nobody can see the unnatural movement. Birds need to be more sesitive for the presence of the player. Only an animal that cannot see you can be killed from behind. Birds cannot be killed by running after and killed by knife in the air. I miss a bird - shock too...if you run trough a forest the birds scared by your presence should do a very fast take off...with noise that shocks you if there is silence in the forest :) This should be like in real forest. Forest biome needs birds, snakes, eagle who can attack us from above (nest radius in mountain region). The desert region snakes hidden under the rocks (randomly).

NikhajZzzAnd please consider to change the KEA sounds too. KEA "playing call" sounds (sounds perfect), KEA scared - warning sound on player presence and KEA attacked sound (they probably fight each other too). Most of people like we in Europe even doesn't know what is KEA bird. I thought that is in-game name for a bird, i was surprised that is a real bird name from NZ. I think this bird deserves to be more real in your game, not only to play but also to learn something about fauna in NZ. I am really happy i've learned something new. Thanks to Icarus team :)

NikhajZzz+ adding future content. Basics of nature: nature balance missing somehow. Insects are needed for clear the area of dead animals, not only animal is eating animal. Bee-like insects are needed for flowers, to reproduce (bee hive, honey, bee-attacks). In desert locust attacks - they eat everything green but on the other side, the player can eat these incests :D (attack that reduces fiber ammount). Ants, ants hive, ant attack. In the winter biomes there are places with permafrost - frozen lakes and water, there is everythin ok...in the winter biome where the temperature is risign above 4 degree celsius, the water should melt for a certain time - fishing allowed, certain flower types growing. So compared to other biomes, the winter biomes are the only one where is the possibilty to make it to permafrost or partially melting. All the winter biomes are quite same now, but changing them and randomly generating them on the winter parts of every mission...that would be really nice.
