Uh you not mistake with megalocerios the giant deer ?

No it is the 'Reindeer' , Devs need patch this animal to never go Extinct even if reach to the Iron Age.

The game is set on an undetermined region of Central Europe, and we use this as starting point to decide which fauna and flora we include on the game, it is not totally accurate as we prioritized gameplay before historical accuracy, but although the reindeer is still a linving species in Europe you only can find it in Scandinavia, its extinction on the southern areas started on mesolithic.

You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reindeer "at that time and at the early Mesolithic it was the game animal for many tribes. The supply began to get low during the Mesolithic, when reindeer retired to the north"

So although the reindeer is not extinct as species even nowadays, it in fact went extinct long time ago on the area where the game is placed.

We're thinking on tweak the fauna of Northlands scenario to add more variety on the different scenarios, introducing few more northern species and keeping the reindeer through the eras

Nice, thanks for quick reply

Cool glad to hear this, I'm glad the devs finally chimed in on this and confirmed what I had thought originally.

Glad to view your interest in the community and also glad to have the luck to view one of your posts.

In term of fauna, notably for Northlands scenario, what have you planned to add?
I highly suspect muskox and saiga antelope, but I can be wrong too.

This will still not satisfy Santa. Consider yourselves on his naughty list.

Can you maybe adjust this in Future? :

If it is set in Central Europe then why do you build roundhouses instead of longhouses? The Linear Pottery Culture, the first farming culture in Europe, did. They also looked very mideastern in their phenotype. And why do they drink Milk if both the neolithic migrants and the european hunter gatherers were intolerant towards lactosis?
