It was changed to inches. The odd part is, on the leaderboard I notice a lot of ties, and the scores all seem to be about 1 millimeter apart. (0.0394"), but when converted back to metric they are not even millimeters. Example, the highest score on the leaderboard is 9.558" (242.773 mm).
It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!

True, AKA Canadian lynx......Also a bobcat IS a species of lynx.
All true indeed. If EW ever does put another critter on RFF, I too would agree that a Lynx would be appropriate. The AI as mentioned for the Bcat is pretty identical to a Lynx, size and perhaps habitat may only differ minutely b'tween the two species. 8-) Peace.

BCKidd.
Can agree that it would be nice to add the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) to:

1. Hemmeldal (Where they are really present).
2. Val-des-Bois (There are a few).
3. Redfeather Falls (The Canada Lynx, Lynx canadensis).

4. Hirschfelden (A very small population but still present).

Lynx = Bobcat, Siberian Lynx, Iberian Lynx, Canadian Lynx, Eurasian Lynx.

Do they really have such a small skull? 1st place in leader board has a skull length of 5.5 inch and width of 4.

Ok, off topic here, apologies. We shouldn't be talking about CotW in the status update thread for tH:C.
Quick question: has anyone noticed less Bobcat presence and calls around the middle Logger's Point tower area? I didn't really wanna say much because I was tryin to see if it was just RNG and it happens, but it's seems to me the first two days of release, I'd find roughly 3-4 Bobcats in the area, sometimes more, sometimes less. But since Friday, it's been far less, with maybe 1 or two, and hardly ever a call anymore. Anyone else noticing this as well?
One more off topic comment in this vein. How is it, as soon as tHC gets a new species, it shows up soon on COTW? We got a Bobcat, they got a Lynx. Yet the reverse is not true. They (yes I delineate them as we and they..they are not playing the same game) have Fallow Deer...why isn't there Fallow Deer in tHC?

I spotted a bobcat around the three lakes region of loggers point and decided to watch it instead of killing it right away. It did not take long before it started pouncing at mice and it looked really cool. Good job devs. I think fox should have a similar behavior, and have watched them in real life and they also pounce for mice.

Code: Select all

9.558
9.518
9.477
9.437
9.396
9.356
9.316
These are the only scores on the leaderboard for bobcat and at the end of the season you probably see 1 or 2 different scores. :roll:

Just like the wolves. Less data for EW to keep track of. :lol:
