Why Indicine Cattle not with Indians?

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion
1

The zebu (/ˈziːb(j)uː, ˈzeɪbuː/; Bos indicus or Bos taurus indicus ), sometimes known in the plural as indicine cattle , Camel cow or ######## cattle** , is a species or subspecies of domestic cattle originating in South Asia. Zebu, like many Sanga cattle breeds, differs from taurine cattle by a fatty #### on their shoulders, a large dewlap, and sometimes drooping ears. They are well adapted to withstanding high temperatures and are farmed throughout the tropics.
Zebu are used as draught and riding animals, dairy cattle and beef cattle, as well as for byproducts such as hides and dung for fuel and manure. Some small breeds such as the miniature zebu are also kept as pets.

In some regions, such as parts of India, zebu and other cattle have significant religious meaning.

Bonjour, cela me rappelle que quelques personnes du forum ont déjà dit qu’ils aimeraient voir le zébu remplacer la vache européenne qui est utilisé à tort dans le design de l’Inde, bien que je ne m’y connais pas trop en Histoire autre que l’Europe de l’ouest, j’ai néanmoins toujours trouvé bizarre la vache à la place du zébu et je suis donc du même avis que ces personnes qui abonde en votre sens :wink:

This is all the code needed for “Sacred Cow” unit would look like a zebu. It will not affect another cows, because “Sacred Cow” is a separate unit.

Unfortunately, I did not found feasible images for sacred cows. I based my work on the scultpure of the cow right there.
European units massacrating everyone was a lamentable accident because it is a in-game picture. And europeans usually do that in the games.
