Issue:

When you hover your mouse cursor over animals in the fog of war, dead animals don’t show their health bars. Because of this, even without scouting, you can check whether your opponent is gathering food from those animals or not.

And when you try to build a town center on a settlement, only unoccupied settlements show you an appearance of a town center. Already occupied settlements show you an appearance of a village center.
