I'd vote for Tarcisio too, if I can. (Not sure if only those who post designs are allowed to vote). Making use of fog of war as a mechanic is the best thing I have seen in a long time.

Hey, I know you said Powhatan, but is it possible to conjure up somethin from the Accawmacke instead? They are technically still a part of Powhatan Confederacy, even if they still had their own king. I spoilered the entry just incase it doesnt make the cut.

Hmmm...
Powhatan Confederacy(Wahunsunacawh)
UA: King of the Chiefs
Exerting tribute or annexing a
city state may reveal sources of the unique maize and corn resources. Building units may instantly improve bonus resources, which grant you +1 
food when improved.
UI: Yahuk
Unlocked at Trapping. May only be built on flat terrain near bonus resources, never on top of them and never adjacent to each other. The Yahuk will also grant the base yields of adjacent improved bonus resources and may spawn a source of maize. If built near fishing boats or on a river, increases border growth rate by 10%(max. 50, bonus for one Yahuk may stack up to 15%).
UU: Weroance
Replaces great general. Rather than building citadels, the Weroance may be consumed for
incorporating a tribe. This action may only be performed if you have at least one city state under your control, and will grant 2 era-appropriate infantry units in addition to making your units intimidate city states 50% more for 10 turns.
Maize(bonus resource): +1 food, +1 
culture.may be improved with a farm or a Yahuk.
Corn(luxury): +1 food, +1 
gold, +1 culture. May be improved with a plantation.

Start Bias: Coastal
Capital:
Werowocomoco
UA: Weroance
Units gain 50% additional Experience upon killing an enemy Military Land Unit within 4 Tiles of a foreign City or City-State. 
Great Generals are earned 10% faster for each allied City-State in the same war as you.
UU: Pawcussack (replaces Musketman)
The Pawcussack, unlike the Musketman it replaces, is an extremely able scouting unit, with its access to the Mobility and Woodsman promotions ably demonstrating that. Additionally, it starts with the "Half-Moone" unique promotion, allowing it to grant its own Promotions and increase the Experience gain of adjacent non-Pawcussack Military Units. Upgrades to Rifleman.
UB: Quiocosin (replaces Temple)
Cheaper to build than the Temple it replaces (80
Production vs. 100 on Standard game pace), the Quiocosin allows for much easier relations with City-States. Religious Pressure to City-States is doubled, and the resting point of Influence with City-States who share your religion is increased by +5 for each Quiocosin in the Empire (max. +25). It also generates +1 Gold rather than cost any Maintenance. Requires a Shrine.

Hopefully this is a bit more interesting. No idea if it'll be, y'know, feasible, but when has that ever stopped me before?

UU: Weroance: Replaces the Great General. The Weroance gains XP from kills by adjacent friendly units or whenever a nearby city is annexed by the Powhatan. Upon acquiring enough XP (Level 3 maybe?) the Weroance may upgrade into a Mamanatowick, which provides a 20%Combat Bonus against cities to nearby units and increases border expansion of cities it's garrisoned in by 33%.

If I've parsed Uighur's UU correctly, it means that if you train a Tomahawk Warrior in a City with an improved Iron Tile within range, it has the Combat Strength of a normal Swordsman and is even cheaper. Hope that helped.
Also, Uighur, why is your UU adept at deforesting when that was one of the things the Powhatan Confederacy took particular exception to when the English did it?

Yes you are reading that correctly. And I didn't know about that. I added that on since the tomahawk was also used as a tool, not just a weapon.

Is there any reason why not to state the UUs ability outright? Is there any reason why someone would word it like that?
It was stated outright, you just need to read the entire sentence.

Oops sorry. I guess something malfunctioned in my brain my second. I thought I read something else.

In fairness, the full sentence wasn't much clearer. Have a slightly tidier version, mildly edited to remove the... unconventional choice of unique attribute.

UU: Tomahawk Warrior (replaces Swordsman)
The Tomahawk Warrior is cheaper than the Swordsman it replaces and, ordinarily, weaker (12 Combat Strength vs. 14). However, when trained in a City that has an improved Iron Tile within range, the Tomahawk Warrior's Combat Strength rises to 14 and it is even cheaper. Additionally Tomahawk Warriors trained in Cities without Iron start with Survivalism I, and those trained in Cities with Iron start with Medic I. Upgrades to Longswordsman as normal, but does not require Iron.

It's also worth noting that what we think of as a tomahawk wasn't what they originally were; the root word is just an Algonquian dialect word for war club. The highly decorative axe blades came later. Hope that's helpful. =]
