Age of Empires IV Needs a Visual Overhaul

  • Wild Boars: Wild boars need a lair, which allows a single boar to respawn cyclically.

  • Wolves:

    • Wolves already have dens, but the current implementation is insufficient.

    • They should be given a “hunger” meter and programmed to roam in search of prey.

    • To establish a safe mill for harvesting deer, you must first destroy their den. Otherwise, they will persistently harass your villagers.

    • Alternatively, you could use military units to protect the villagers from their attacks.

  • Deer & Forests:

    • I also suggest allowing forests to periodically regenerate wild deer.

    • In the late game, you could send scouts to automatically hunt these scattered deer, providing a secure source of food.

    • I believe this would be particularly useful in 4v4 matches. Stockpiled deer meat remains a safer food source in the late game compared to farming, despite being finite. You can strive to amass a large reserve.

    • Although farming becomes more efficient than gathering deer meat in the late game, the stockpiled deer meat remains a valuable resource.
