Steps:

  1. Boot client up

Happened to me today (running PUP - never happened in previous versions) with identical symptoms. Killed a board on hilly terrain. It immediately vanished after dying. It was on the new marshes(?) map.

24

Ottomans, like the other Muslim civs, cannot take boar. That’s intended.

Happened today again with malians after killing the boar with a group of 8 villagers and 7 donso. Boar when reach 0hp dissappear.

The obvious answer went completely over my head with the Ottomans. Thanks for that actually.

Should it vanish from the map, though? Is that the behavior pre-PUP for all other islamic civs?

I’d say the carcass should remain there with full food. Seems like the logical approach.

28

Yes that’s been the behavior since the game first came out.

If the carcass was to remain, then we’ll have to make sure that villagers of Islamic civilizations aren’t able to obtain the food from that carcass.

Right. That’d be the way I would do it. You can kill the boar if it’s attacking your vills, but they can’t gather food from it. It would remain for other civs, though. Killing it would also allow you to place a building where they are, if it’s blocking you.

I never really saw the disappearing behavior since I never even attempted to kill one intentionally with Delhi/Abbasid.

31

Corpses block building placement.

32

Something that can also be changed. A deer carcass blocking me from placing a landmark is bad design IMO.

33

Here you go, see it on the video. Played with Mali civ: https://youtu.be/jKvpacpuHAU

If you don’t see it, it is because it is prohibited, please modify it in another way so that the Muslim civilizations do not take the boar without disappearing it
