No, you're not crazy. It is probably the rifleman unit. Personally I have the sound off (my daughter is most of the times sleeping next to my computerroom), but I do see them sneeze every once in a while....

Yes, I can confirm it, too. I don't exactly remember the unit, but IIRC if you select the unit and let it alone a while (without issuing any orders) the unit sneeze. It doesn't work for fortified units (they have an active order)

Yes, it happens with the rifleman unit. It's funny. A nice touch from the developers.

It was probably added just to give some flavor to the game... Some humor.

It's quite common in RTS game that units make some movement while "idle", just to catch player attention, add some movement to the map, work good while the game is showed at a shop kiosk.

It seems appropriate since the rifleman unit was the one used in World War I when the 1918 Spanish Flu killed more people than the entire war. 25 million people died from it in just one year in 1918.
So it may not just be for humor's sake; it's also historically accurate!

Especially unhealthy is it, to upgrade Pikemen directly to Riflemen. One coughs, the other sneezes. Stay away or you may get infected. Take an Aspirin and a hot footbath for prophylaxis.
