AoE2 Civ Idea - Iroquois

I know they are there in AoE3, but aren't the Aztecs, Mayans, and Inca also in both games? Plus, we never had a native North American civilization yet.

​

Infantry and Archer civilization (Eagle Warriors available in this civ)

- Lumberjacks also gather gold as well as wood. Gold gather rate is still slow.

- Foragers and Lumberjacks +5 carrying capacity.

- Man-at-Arms, Long Swordsmen, and 2HS upgrades free. Player still has to spend resources on Champion upgrade.

- Archers move 15% faster.

​

UU: Iroquois Warrior - Infantry that generates +1 food and wood fighting enemies. (Similar to keshik)

​

UT:

Castle: Warchiefs - Eagle warriors and archers regenerate.

Imperial: Mohican Warfare - Barracks units deal double strikes per attack.

​

Team Bonus: Archers have attack bonus against unique units. (The natives defended their lands fiercely, so I thought this may reflect well)

​

Absent:

- All gunpowder and cavalry units and their respective upgrades at blacksmith.

- Bombard Tower

- Plate Mail Armor, Ring Archer Armor

- Fortified Wall

- Heresy

- (More to be updated)

​

Note the Iroquois Warrior's ability to generate resources when fighting, the extra carry capacity and the gold gather rate from lumberjacks. It helps them mass units easily, and it helps during situations when they face civs like Spanish, Franks, or Turks. They might need superior quantity over quality.
