^The main reason why they were behind was because of where and how they lived. Making them inherently slower to advance just because of their civilization's name is kind of silly.
I would put my bet on Sioux. They're veterans of the series, and unique enough from the Iroquois. However, the main problem would be distinguishing their playstyle from the Mongols of the Huns.
This actually made me cringe. That's a terrible idea that would generate just as much heat as it did in 4. No, the better solution is to just pick whichever civilizations they can make fun ideas out of, which is exactly what they're doing. As for why they picked the Shoshone? It offered a western power and had the possibility for Comanches as a unit.Why not, instead of the arguing about which native North American tribe deserves to be in the game, (we all know it should not have been Shoshone!), I suggest they just re-create the good old idea from civ4.
Just bring back the American Natives as one nation!
Silly? Huron? Well, perhaps. But I'd like you to read about Dekanawida/Deganawida, who in fact was the founder of the Iroquois Confederacy, or, let's use their "silly" real tribe name, the Haudenosaunee. Hiawatha was more like his follower.
Well, some say that this great Peacemaker, Deganawidah, in fact was a Huron He persuaded the Haudenosaunee(Iroquois) to stop the constant infighting and abandon cannibalism . In fact the Huron were a confederacy, more or less, similarly to the Iroquois. The problem is, they sided with France and the Iroquois, as we know, with the British crown, it did cost the Huron dearly in the end. Perhaps that's why the Huron are shunned in the game, just like the Sioux are, the enemies of Britain, and later, more importantly, the US, mustn't be glorified. Am I way off?
