I'm trying to remember if this is simply due to improved mate AI, or if we had other things that made the Journey difficult even with only two pups. Any recollections, or suggestions?

• If your den is the Bison Peak one, sometimes if you accidentally stepped into an enemy's territory and couldn't get away fast enough, you would be teleported back to the river crossing. That can be annoying if it moves you backwards and away from any pup you weren't carrying, or a hack if you need to advance your pups forward quickly.
  
  The eagle is always the biggest threat to my pups, but its threat level decreases with fewer pups.
  
  If we are looking to make the game difficult no matter how many pups you have, we could look into a system where the more pups you lose, the harder the game becomes, in the way of fewer carcasses/more frequent or persistent predators with each pup death. Or the wolf territory boundaries increase with each pup death.
  
  If that isn't possible, then perhaps just a lesser achievement is obtained upon reaching the rendezvous site with less pups?

Group of hunting stranger wolves near elk hunting grounds (or scavenging from carcasses in the vicinity)? Maybe something beneficial, like a stray weak/sick/old elk for you to take down. Not sure how this would work in terms of system specifications/limitations and capacities in mind, but anything between your pack and their destination -- bonus if it's completely unexpected -- is an appealing thought. ^^

I love this idea!

Best example in the game right now would have to be trespassing into southern stranger wolf territory, which spawns a wolf to drive you away. I liked the way that was executed, but it's not effective if you opted to settle at Saddle Meadows or Aspen Heights, so unless you settle at Bison Peak Cutoff or East Creek and didn't trespass at all during the final mission when close to the expanded territory, you probably wouldn't know that event even existed in one session.

When I first got the pop-up saying that I had to journey ACROSS the valley I thought, "No, why would I wanna do that? I just want to explore without having to have a reason to." Makes sense, right?
