Civilization V: Who/What Am I?

Nine guesses down, one more!!!

CLUE #5: I actually don't give all the bonuses that the one I replace does. One of them I don't give, but instead I give a different one!

EDIT: One more guess was up before I could post this... Let's allow a 11th guess then! :D
 
Umm... Longhouse?

YES! :lol: The Longhouse indeed!
That was harder than I was expecting... :crazyeye: Oops!

CLUE #1: My people are named after me
Civilopedia said:
In fact, the Iroquois call themselves "Hodenosaunee," which translates into "People of the Longhouse."

CLUE #2: Some don't like my people, and call them by another name...
Civilopedia said:
The term "Iroquois" was used by non-Iroquois. Its original meaning is unclear, but it may be a bastardization of a Huron word meaning "snake." (The Hurons and the Iroquois did not much like each other.) Alternatively, it might be a corruption of a Basque (Spanish/French ethnic group) term meaning, "killer people." (The French didn't much like the Confederacy either.)

CLUE #3: Regrettably, my people are known in-game by this last name...
Needless is to say, the civilization is named "The Iroquois" and not "The Hodenosaunee". Firaxis apologizes for this, though:
Civilopedia said:
With apologies to the Haudenosaunee we will use the more common term, "Iroquois," because few non-natives would recognize Haudenosaunee - and because Haudenosaunee is too long to fit on the game screen.

CLUE #4: I'm efficient! I don't need as many resources...
Civilopedia said:
onghouses are efficient structures, cheaper to construct and heat than individual dwellings, thus requiring fewer natural resources than other types of homes.

Also, The Longhouse only costs 100 :c5production:, while the Workshop which it replaces costs 120 :c5production:

CLUE #5: I actually don't give all the bonuses that the one I replace does. One of them I don't give, but instead I give a different one!
Unlike the Workshop, the Longhouse gives you +1 :c5production: for every worked forest tile, but does not give you +10% :c5production:
 
I suppose that's mostly because until the clue #5 nobody thought that could be something else than a leader. ;)
Clue 1: They can refuse to trade me if they want to, but what good is that for me?

Yeah, I should have put a big glowing sign "I am not a leader"! :lol:
The whole name thing could be one clue or two, and I could reach the obvious clues faster, but oh well, it's done! :p

Anyway - A city. You are able to trade cities, but it is usually refused. This means that the only way to get an enemy's city is through conquest - which is not really good for the city! :D
 
No to all, but I think it is going somewhere.
Clue 1: They can forbid to trade us if they want to, but what good is that for us?
Clue 2: Though the way they treat us doesn't benefit them either - we should all be :yuck: of it!
I also clarified the first clue as a bonus, I suppose "refuse" might not have been the right word to use (sorry!). Plural form is probably more appropriate as well. It may become really easy now. :)
 
Clue 1: Apparently, Jodie & Aiden went through my lands

Hint: If you've played or seen Beyond Two Souls, then you'll know what I'm talking about.
