Decaying Corpses and Skeletons

OK, I understand that these aren’t as important as the many crashes and issues,
But I wanted to address this long-existing problem of DE (alongside the chat filter + delay which there is a fix for it:
Here's how to get rid of AOE2 DE censor entirely:)

So, as we all know, when a unit died in AOK, AOC, and every version after them (HD, WK, UP), they were having a slow decay animation, and then they would slowly become a skeleton.

But now, not only the decay is very fast, but there are no skeletons in the game.

Now, the funny thing is, the Skeleton exists in the scenario editor and a few campaigns. So, the models themselves aren’t gone, but not used.

I understand that AOE2 DE tends to appeal to a younger playerbase, but still, the devs should at least add the options to turn on/off the decay + skeletons, like in many games that let you turn on / off blood.

As much as a credit I can give to @Yorok0 for his amazing Visible Corpses Mod, it’s still lacking the proper decay animations (which is not his fault, of course, the game lacks those animations)
