Technically, we humans eat the same things as well and should be more intelligent about working together than we are, so there's no real need for sapient animals to get along well. Actually, I'd probably think it would give an interesting dynamic to play off of. As opposed to having the only conflict be the main one of predator needing to kill prey, you'd get a natural variety of opinions about this necessity based off the differing cultures each animal might adhere to.I rethought about that as well. When it comes to animals in the wild, that may be true. But anthros should be more intelligent than that. Hyenes and lions and wolves, althought are from different breed of animals, they eat the same thing. One could hunt and sell the meat they acquire for money and buy things such as clothing and weapons or even more meat. There may be problems with discrimination of race and such, but they would still have to work together to live.
You could play off the different methods they each use to kill their prey. Presumably anthros might benefit from made weapons as well as their natural ones, but you could still have that cats, being quick ambush predators, seem to have more respect for their food than wolves and hyenas, who tend to run their prey down and tire them out through chase and injuries. Most hunted animals would see both as terrifying, I'm sure, with the pros and cons of both. Can't escape the cats unless you notice them before they attack, can escape from wolves and hyenas, but not without injury... And if the anthros aren't supposed to be altogether happy about having to commit murder to survive, then lions would surely look down on wolves and hyenas for being cruel. While to hyenas it is proof of each of their warriors' strengths that they can provide for their tribe without flinching from the task.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
As for the place where the anthros belong. I do agree that different anthros breeds come from different places of the world, but we have to take count of player's interests. Restricting the choice of anthros to choose from is a bit dispiriting. Perhaps the anthros migrated and became immigrants in the lands.
Migration's alright. They could adapt, I suppose. lol Of course they would if they want to keep living there. But if you're keeping them around to be open to players' interests, there are other canine options in Africa that would fit a little better and not require immigration. I'm not trying to say no wolves, that's not in my power, I'm just suggesting it, to make the whole a little more coherent.
