Aggressive Deer
So something pretty funny just happened when I started a new Conquerer's Campaign: Vinland Saga.

My outpost began getting attacked by a DEER!

Every 10 or so seconds it does 1 damage. Until then it just jitters behind my outpost.
Everytime it attacks I get a message telling me I'm being attacked by Gaia.

It's not like it's breaking my game or anything just thought if anyone else has this bug? Soon enough I'll just hunt the deer down for food but until then I'm laughing pretty hard at this deer. What have I done to nature to deserve this?!

Yeah I remember this bug, it's been there since the game's release.
Alright neat. As I said it's certainly not gamebreaking. More funny if anything, maybe a bit annoying for the pinging noise but whatever.

Aggressive deer is just hilarious.
edit: Just a small update but after killing the deer another one from halfway across the island/part of Norway I start on ran over to attack my outpost. I assume this was his brother who was angry with me for killing his Aggressive brother.

Yeah, this has been there since the original release of AoC (I remember playing that scenario with my dad and loling at the aggressive deer) :p

I've never looked at that scenario's triggers, but I bet there's some trigger that creates this oddity.

Clearly there was an old ES dev that was in a "trolling Deer" phase. I didn't even know Deer could attack in AOE2.
I believe it may be caused from Onru the wolf spawning.

Maybe something got a little wonky and causes the deer to attack.
For all intensive purposes it's not like they're even attacking as there is no animation for it. Just jittering around the outpost and doing a single point of damage every few seconds or so.

the deer changing the graphics to a gazelle from AoE 1 when its attacking.
same as the SCHAH was change the graphic to a photon man from AoE1 when he was attack.
but this theys changed here in the HD version. - with a mod u can bring the graphic back.
