I know that they're nomadic and make an appearance in some other games, but I think The Sioux would make a great addition. They're completely different to the other American civilizations in the game (though calling the Sioux a civilization is open to argument) and provide both a stylistic and geographical opposition to the Iroquois.
A few possible ideas include:

Unit -Dog Soldier: 25 4 (+1)
Ability -Double (& stackable, as usual) flanking bonus (+10% or +15%, I forget)
Replaces -Cavalry.

Building -Nomads Corral: On top of the standard +1 for each source of Cattle, Horses and Sheep, the Nomads Corral provides +1 for each source too.
Replaces -Stables.

Improvement -Teepee: Can be placed outside (or within) a players territory on any tile containing either Cattle or Deer (so Teepees can't be placed everywhere). The Teepee gives all friendly adjacent units +1 healing per turn and a +10% combat bonus. (In the borders of a city, the Teepee tile can be worked, operating as a Camp or Animal Pen for active Citizens).
Requires -Trapping.
This currently replaces nothing. It would currently be effective built beside a Fort improvement, or with slightly greater added benefits, the Teepee could replace the Fort improvement.

Great -War Chief #1: An improved Great General (like the Mongol Khan). The War Chief has 4 (+2) and gifts +1 sight to all friendly units within his radius. Replaces -Great General.

Great -War Chief #2: An improved Great General (like the Mongol Khan). Gives no combat bonus to friendly units, but reduces the horse rider penalties (-33% defensive penalty and -33% attacking cities penalty) both down to only -10%. Furthermore, the War Chief has 3 (+1). Replaces -Great General.

Anybody have any ideas for a unique ability? I've got a couple, but I'd like to see others opinions.

 

[SandFli]

A decent combination for The Sioux might be:

Unique Unit -Dog Soldier (see above).
Unique Improvement -Teepee (see above).
Unique Ability -Hunters Way (?): Each source worked by a citizen gives the following benefit:
Cattle +1
Horses +1
Deer +1

Let me know what you think and feel free to input ideas.

 

[Pouakai]

Great ideas for the Sioux! In general, UI don't replace anything, so you're set there

 

[Louis XXIV]

Weren't Dog Soldiers Cheyenne, not Souix?

 

[Pouakai]

There were Cheyenne Dog Soldiers and Lakota Dog Soldiers.

 

[Louis XXIV]

Do you have a source for that? I've always associated the Dog Soliders with the Cheyenne.

 

[Pouakai]

No, I just seem to recall reading it somewhere.


Another thing, what about a Gurkha as a Indian UU instead of War Elephant (Which is Siamese) replacing the Rifleman?

Eskimos

Eskimos or Esquimaux are indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland.

These guys come from the region of the globe not covered by other civs already. And are ancient.

Eskimos
Leader:
Unique Unit: Dog cart
Unique Building: The Ilgoo
Unique Ability: Survival (+1 food in Tundra)

 

[awesome]

maybe someone could have a unique improvement giving happiness?

 

[awesome]

needs more africa/america

Kongo:
Leader: Lukeni
Unique Unit: Ambundu Warrior (replaces Longswordsman, resourceless, 20 strength)
Unique Building: Momboare (replaces Windmill, +25% to production, city must not be built on hills)
Ability: Jungle Lore (Jungles provide +1 food and +2 hammers, all military units take 25% less damage from ranged attacks)

Maya:
Leader: Pacal
Unique Unit: Holkan (replaces spearman, 10% bonus when attacking cities, gains experience 50% faster)
Unique Building: Lintel (replaces monument, +2 culture and +1 hammer, scientist slot, no maintenance)
Unique Abilitity: Prophecy (+15% science per city)

Eskimos

Our Edmonton Football team here.

We call them Inuits while their "Capital" is Iqaluit in Nunavut.

That makes at least three of us in this thread alone!

 

[Zyxpsilon]

There were Cheyenne Dog Soldiers and Lakota Dog Soldiers.

Okay...
might as well diversify the entire scope of North American natives for inclusion;

-- Mohican, Abenaki, Algonquin, Comanche, Huron, Apache, Micmac, Cherokee, Cree, etc?

All of which dwarfed by this!

 

[Pouakai]

I've updated the OP - please try to fill in the blanks before suggesting new civs!

 

[awesome]

um...portugal could get a carrack:
caravel replacement, 15 , 2 range, 7 , can't melee attack, 7 and +3 sight instead of just +2
and then some other unit. and Afonso I for the leader.

 

[Pouakai]

I'd prefer a different UU to cIV myself

 

[awesome]

i was thinking maybe a musket and/or cannon, but not really sure what to do with either of those

 

[Pouakai]

Cannon replacement would be new and exciting, maybe Organ gun?
