Unit Concept Discussion: A scout unit for possible Iroquois/Mississippians civilization

This is NOT a civilization discussion, this is more of unit concept discussion.

​

So suppose the devs decided that in the next expansion, they wanted to add Mississippians and Iroquois as playable civilizations (which does make sense, as these civs does exist during the AoE2 timeframe even though the Iroquois only played a major role in history around 17th to 18th centuries, which is around the AoE3 timeframe). These two civilizations would probably be grouped under a different civ archetechture type to make them more distinct from the Mesoamerican civilization. Giving cavalry units like the scout line will make zero sense since the Native American civs didn't utilize horses until the Europeans brought them in (and only played a major role for the Native Americans in the 17th and 18th centuries). Giving Eagle Scout line also makes no sense because this is a scout line exclusive to the Mesoamerican civs.

​

So suppose the devs decided to add the Iroquois and Mississippians into the game in a potential next expansion. Do you think these two civilizations should have their own unique scout unit to distinguish themselves from the Mesoamerican civs, or should they still be given the Eagle Scout line despite how out of place that kind of unit would be for these two civs?

​

As for my civ concepts for them, I do have some ideas for both of them, but they are really unique that would stand out differently from the other civilizations. The Mississippians will be defensive oriented civilization where you cannot be build Stone Wall and utilize Palisade Walls (don't worry, they'll have a civ bonus that increases the HP for their Pallisade Walls) while my Iroquois civ concept for AoE2 will resemble that of how the Iroquois were designed in AoE3 (being a siege/foot archer civilization, they obviously not going to have cavalry units, but they will have Hand Cannoneers and Bombard Cannon to reflect on the Iroquois trade with the Europeans and their relevance in the AoE3 timeframe).

​

Anyways, share your thoughts, if Iroquois/Mississippians were included as playable civs in AoE2, should they be given their own unique scout unit to distinguish themselves from the Meso civs and other civs, or do you think the Eagle Scout line would suffice?
