For South America I’d also add Maned Wolf and Humboldt Penguin. For the north I’d add Great Auks.

Quite a few timid huntables, herdables and predators were added this year, which is very nice. But the game is really lacking in aggresive huntables. Still only three models (Boar, Elephant, Rhino).
Give a unique skin to the Javelina and implement the existing African Elephant models (savannah and forest/North African), then the number is already doubled. There are three Wolves and Bears each now, so why not three Elephants.

Also, gimme Hippos.

The Water Buffalo’s appearance should then be altered to be more like the domesticated animal, especially when it comes to the horns. The animal in the African Mill would also have to be changed accordingly - don’t know whether water buffaloes were widely used by Malians and Ethiopians then, though, but still makes more sense than the mill being driven by an untamed animal.

Half of all the fauna in AoE 3


Dawn of Man already exists (interestingly, it was also the subtitle for AoE 1 in its alpha version). The theme would be the campaigns
 what would they be about?

  1. Origin in Africa

  2. Establishment in Europe

  3. Establishment in Asia

  4. Crossing Beringia Bridge and establishing the Clovis Empire in America lol


And that’s it
nothing more

We need Yaks, Tapirs, Hippos, Takins, and the African elephants. Also capybaras.

They are so calm, they shouldn’t react at all even when attacked.

Water buffaloes are from Southeast Asia. Oxen or even donkeys would be more appropriate for Africa, although their use in agriculture does not appear to have been common there.

Yes, my dad had a pet capybara about 20 years ago and he told me to pet it on the back because otherwise it could get nervous because it didn’t know you and it could bite you
 You could easily keep it as a pet like a giant hamster, but it has to be in an area with a lot of water or at the very least you could put it in the pool so it doesn’t get depressed and dehydrated

There also are some capybara bars in Japan where you can pet them.

To be fair, they have just about everything in Japan.

True but I don’t think they would make an “American Bully XL bar” with the same concept


Oh look
 yes, maybe they take two capybara pups, one male and one female, and they could easily have a zoo of them


Yes, it’s Japan
you can find anything there


Red-crowned crane, stork, special is crane it lovely. Beautiful. I love it. Snow owl too

Now how do we not have giraffes already? You can’t have zebras without giraffes!

Maybe I’m just saying that because of two books (with accompanying stuffed animals) I had growing up.

I think ducks are also commonly included in the song.
Would really like to see Dogs instead of always using (Hunting) Wolves as a stand-in, with variants that represent breeds from around the world. They could have an attack bonus against huntables and predators and be able to herd herdables near the drop-off site, like Shepherds do.

Thanks. The African Mill actually had a donkey before it was changed to water buffalo with DE. Seems to be a rather odd choice.
Forgot to mention the buffalo-drawn Trade Cart used by multiple Asian civs, could also be altered to come closer to an actual water buffalo.
