There is a capybara in AoE 3. AoE 4 also needs capybaras.
I can already imagine them in the game (definitely not as a food resource): they would be neutral at the start, but then, when you collect them with a villager, they would give “happiness” to your villagers in the form of a 5% resource gathering rate buff, acting kinda like an HRE prelate, but with a smaller buff radius and no population cap.
Also, neither military nor economic units would be able to attack them, since capybaras are too cute.
What do you think about that?
