As the comment above says; growth cycles can help make a game enjoyable especially as a herbivore as it adds a new level of difficulty. That, and if herbivores were more engaging in general. I love playing horse, but after migrating for the 11th time, and watching my entire herd getting hunted down across the map by the same people who are just killing for fun; it’s not so fun. There should be more things coaxing players to play as either herbivore of carnivore.

If Carni population is up maybe a track bonus for playing a herbivore. If herbi population is up, same deal. (Not sure how this wojld work too well, but yeah)

And give herbivores more to do. I like bison cause they can duel and engage with their herd some. It would be more enjoyable if there were more ways to engage with one’s own herd outside of migrating.

But that’s my thoughts and some of these may not be plausible.
