Idea/image generator of the unique characteristics of our countries to inspire developers/artists

MybroViajero

Each country has unique characteristics that differentiate it and make it unique, so why not use those characteristics in favor of the imagination to generate ideas, concepts, sketches that can bring something unique, different and peculiar to AoC?
Our world is also a world of fantasy that has unique things either naturally or created by cultures/people.


Let's give Intrepid's artistic team and Intrepid team some images/ideas of our regions and countries to inspire them.

What unique/different characteristics of your countries could inspire Intrepid to come up with unique ideas?


For example, my country Perú and its gastronomy ,world's best culinary destination winner for eight consecutive years.
Virgilio Mattinez is one of the best chef in my country, owner of Central, the best restaurant in Latin America for many years, among the TOP 10 in the world for many years and creator of innovative ideas that use the altitude/altiplanic floors as a generator of ideas for his menu.

I highly recommend watching the video, it is 60 seconds long.

( Full video : https://hdfull.be/show/chefs-table/season-3/episode-6 or in Netflix/Virgilio Martínez)

Every peculiar characteristic of the Central dishes are inspired by the very nature of my country, thanks to the altitudinal/altiplanic floors, so it occurs to me that Intrepid could use these ideas to its advantage, not as a copy of the uniqueness of the dishes but as an inspiration for future creations.
Also Intrepid could consider having altitudinal floors in AoC, so that the flora and fauna is not only horizontal but also vertical.

Elves can always come with foods that look complex but look simple, while dwarves come with simple foods that look complex but are simple to cook.

Of course, but the main idea is not only based on the food, but that these dishes, the inputs used, the places where they are obtained (biodiversity of the country), are an inspirational tool for Intrepid.
Our world has many natural and self-made materials that can be used as inspiration for mobs , bosses , places , flora , fauna , lore , etc..

As an Australian I'd love to see some of our amazing fauna make the cut into the game.

Have some echidna, wombat, bandicoot, quokka, bilby, wallaby, box jellies, cone shells that stab you in foot. Wedge tailed eagle looking birds, or something like the rainbow lorikeet mobs. Or a cassowary world boss.

As for physical features I'd love to see something maybe based off the great barrier reef like a huge reef with a massive biome for undersea creatures to live in just covering half a coast of the continent. Which also makes larger ship navigation tricky with the danger of shoaling your boat.

I'd also like to see something Uluru inspired, like a great monolith in a biome.

As for food ideas I'd love it if the developers could add fairy bread! (It's an aussie staple! its just buttered bread covered in ice cream sprinkles. No kid goes without it.) And so appropriately named for this game.

I'd also like a sausage sandwich or a meat pie in the game.

The Araponga bird emits sounds that sound like bells, sirens and metal hitting metal, in English it is called Bellbird

Emiting sounds of 125 decibels, it is in the range of firearms and airplanes taking off.

It is the loudest bird in the world, get ready:
