Boars Incorrectly Use Warthog Skins and Pictures

GAME INFORMATION

• GAME BUILD #: The Last One
• GAME PLATFORM: Steam
• OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When playing on European maps, you can come across boar treasure guardians or treasures that grant boar pets. The boar units use the warthog skin and warthog PFP from African maps. Boars != Warthogs.

Yes, I am making a bug report for this because I really hate this lazy approach

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

• 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Play on a European Map

2. Find a treasure with boars

3. Observe the unit looks like Pumbaa instead of the pig native to Europe that provides meat that goes into succulent German sausages (although I would wager you could make good sausage out of warthog, but that’s beside the point, because this bug really is the wurst).

EXPECTED RESULT

Boars should look like this:

And not this:

There’s a Wild Boar model in AoMR that can be used.
Also, AoMR has a Crocodile model that can be used for AoE3’s Crocodiles instead of reusing the Alligator model.
And a Rhinoceros model for African maps.
And an Elephant model for African maps. The current huntable and guardian Elephant model can then have its ears changed to look less like a “hybrid elephant”.

That would be appropriate, considering how AOMR used many AOE3:DE models

One of the worst issues for a game with supposed ReAlIsM
