ZooMania February 2008 Newsletter

Hello everybody!! Orcalover22 and Nocturnal Dragon here!! In this issue of the ZooMania news giver outer, we will interview some staff members, have some mini games, and talk about the upcoming events for ZooMania, facts about ZooMania, and a lot more!

Orcalover22’s interview with Animalover44 about Zoo-building.

What is the expansion pack you like best? Why?
I like Marine Mania 2 the best because it added so much diversity to the game with new underwater features and better terrain customizability.

In the biggest zoo you’ve built, how many stars have you gotten your zoo up to?
5 stars

What map do you use the most to start a new zoo?
Large City Zoo

What animal do you always put in your zoo?
I don't think I have an animal that I always put in every zoo. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in or what would fit best with my theme.

What is your favorite feature of Zoo Tycoon 2?
I think my favorite feature is the photography mode. I've always loved taking pictures.

Is there a feature that don’t you like?
I can't think of anything off the top of my head besides the awful staff and that's not really a feature in my opinion.
Is there anything that you don’t like about Zoo Tycoon 2?
I don't like how you can't customize anything besides the terrain. Every zoo does not use the same set of scenery or enrichment. I've always imagined that kind of user interaction in my dream zoo game.

February 2008 Zoo Tycoon 2 Contests
Be sure to check out ZooMania’s February contest!! Details below.

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for there being no January contest, as I had exams and a lot of studying to do, plus the start of the year was a wee bit hectic... Anyways -

Two's Company...

We can all make exhibits with one biome, and one or two animals from that area, but it takes planning and skill to make two separate biomes work in one exhibit, and with species from different areas.
To enter this contest, make an exhibit of your choice with two biomes used, and at least two species from different biomes. Then take at least four pictures of the exhibit, and post them with a small description of how you made the exhibit and why.
The Rules
+ There is a limit of one exhibit per person, but you need to use at least four pictures.
+ The biomes are your choice, but there must be two different ones in the exhibit.
+ The animals can be whatever you like, and as many species you like, but must be from your chosen biomes.
+ Post all entrants here.
+ The winner will be decided by a public vote.
+ Downloaded user-made content is allowed.
Prizes
+ 1st - An extra large 1st place banner made by AnimalLover44.
+ 2nd - A 2nd place banner by AnimalLover44.
