:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Update 141935 introduced a decorative bird named Red Crowned Crane. Unlike the statistically identical flying birds, it is not affected by the “woof woof” cheat code, which transforms birds into Stormy Dogs.

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. For Gaia, place Red Crowned Cranes and other flying birds (e.g. Hawks, Storks) in the Scenario Editor, and place a unit for Player 1 next to them.
  2. Test the scenario and reveal the map with the “marco” and “polo” cheat codes.
  3. Type “woof woof” into the chatbox and confirm. Watch all birds becoming Stormy Dogs, except for the Red Crowned Cranes.

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

:backhand_index_pointing_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The Red Crowned Crane is a decorative unit that is identical to the other flying birds in all but name and appearance, so it should be affected by the cheat code just like the other ones.

The flying bird added with the Alexander expansion, the Owl, is also unaffected by the “woof woof” cheat code. But the Owl does not even look like an Owl yet.
