so basically, my idea is to just switch it so that wolves get a hunting boost in winter instead of summer

on wolvden, hunting parties get a prey catching boost during summer and catch less prey during winter. i know this game isnt 100% about realism (obviously), but there are realistic aspects to it, so here's my thought. in real life, it's actually the opposite. wolves catch more prey during winter because the prey are weaker from having less food to eat, being battered by harsh weather conditions, and they have a harder time running through deep snow, whereas wolves can just use the trails the prey just plowed to run them down so use less stamina during the chase. in summer, when the preys food is plentiful and they're healthier and stronger, wolves catch less prey

idk if sources are needed because the statistics and sources are easily googleable but i can provide some if asked. (check out wolfquest actually, they're all about realism down to the smallest detail and have a lot of blog posts, dev logs, videos, etc about developing the game based on factual wolves and packs and it's neat but anyways)

that's basically it, i think. let me know what you think :3

Support! I love the realistic aspects of Wolvden, especially when it comes to the day-to-day lives of wolves.
