New huntable animal - capybara

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

Hello,

The variety in huntable animals is increasing, and on top of more models, some have different stats and behaviour than the base models.

This is great, so allow me to propose another animal that will play on that : the capybara : a large rodent (up to 50 kg) from South America.

Capybaras have an uncanny calm behaviour, even in direct proximity of predators such as crocodiles, so it would be a passive huntable (like the deer) that does not flee in proximity of villagers or other units, unlike the deer. Possibly not even when attacked.

Maybe give it only 100 food as at 50 kg it’s lighter than a deer.

Only two issues with this idea:

1: Would require more South American content, as I don’t think Capybaras live in the Andes where the Inca are

2: It requires us murdering Capybaras, which I don’t like the idea of lol.

But I do like the idea for a huntable with a unique gimmick (I don’t mean that term with the negative connotation it often carries) I do like how in general the game is making animals more unique as opposed to just generally wolf reskins, deer reskins, boars, and herdables.
