ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
After more than 25 years, the Dire Wolf predator unit found in the Scenario Editor of AoE2 was finally fixed with update 153015. But in Return of Rome, where its stats were changed to that of the Lion (Alpha) with said update (so that it is huntable now), it is still commonly untouched by projectiles (including the spears of Hunters), other units can walk through it, and it has a square selection box.

REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Open the Scenario and place a Dire Wolf for Gaia and multiple Villagers (with some tiles of distance to the animal).
- Test the scenario and order all Villagers to hunt the Dire Wolf. Almost all spears will miss. Only when the animal comes closer to its attackers, chances for a hit are higher.
- Additionally, when units are ordered to move, they won’t treat the Dire Wolf as an obstacle. They will just move through it when it’s in their way.
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
It should be affected by projectiles like other predators, and units should not be able to move through it. The Dire Wolf in the base game was fixed with the update.
The reason for the odd behavior appears to be an attribute called Blockage Class, which is set to 0. For the base game Dire Wolf, it was changed to 2.
IMAGE
ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.
The Hunters have already thrown a lot of spears, but the Dire Wolf remains unimpressed. In the end, it kills three Villagers until it is finally slain.
