Where are the Sheep?

I was paying more attention to the tool tips from the recent update as that was a highlight when I stumbled upon this tip.

Then I came to the shocking realization. There are no sheep in the game, what are they talking about?

Then i started digging deeper and found several other appearances of sheep within the game.


This one looks like a sheep, but I am not sure

I have not played the other Age of Empires games, but I think they all have sheep, so why is an animal as common as the sheep not present in the game despite being referenced so often? I started clicking on the goats and they made sheep-like noise but it was not enough for me, I yearn to have actual fattening sheep within Age of Mythology. I know I recently discussed the idea of adding Turkeys and Pumpkins back in the game as separate scenario editor units, but this one has significant presence in the game and feels like it was an intended feature. I think sheep are an important animal within the mythological cultures as well.

It depends on the map you are playing… you may found cows, sheeps and pigs

Depending on the map you are playing you can find cows, goats, and pigs. No sheep to be found though.**

Sheep are a government conspiracy to sell more Age of Empires games
