Hiawatha looks like a complete dolt!
Did Firaxis learn history from watching Disney movies?

I think I'll convert these guys to Canadians or Argentines.

Wait until Ribannah find this thread!

She will prolly tell you that the Iroquese were all cool-looking people, and so advanced socially speaking that they were the first people to advocate for equality of costume between men and women!

What about Gandhi? He looks like a chewed up rat.

Meanwhile, Mao is only missing the red nose and big shoes, while Bismarck looks like some genetic experiment gone wrong.

Whereas Liz I looks like she has a broomstick up her bum!

By popular request, here is a painting featuring Hiawatha.
Does anyone have the software to enlarge the section of Hiawatha in his canoe?

quote: The scene in Moran’s painting illustrates the meeting of Hiawatha and Pearl-Feather, the evil magician. Hiawatha stands in his canoe, in the middle of the picture. The old woman, Nokomis his mother - Rib , directed Hiawatha to the magician, in order to avenge her father’s death and release the village of the evil sent by Pearl-Feather. Hiawatha stands noble and unafraid to meet the challenge. Through many dangers, he came to defeat the mighty magician with an arrow to the head, the only vulnerable place. The Indian must face a great trial. His spirit and courage is portrayed in this painting. The shades of gray create an eerie, gloomy mood. The tension between Hiawatha and Pearl- Feather is heightened by the artist’s style.

And a must-read: the Song of Hiawatha

Unfortunately, the painting was poorly digitized, so enlarging it will only produce a blurry mess.

Any of you who aren't familiar with Thomas Moran's work, I urge you to check him out. Absolutely beautiful art, and a prime example of American artistic culture!

Notice the figure in the clouds in the upper right corner...cool!

Cheers.

I mean do away with the Iroquois and replace them with Canada or Argentina (up with post-colonial new world nations).

BTW, what would the Argentine special unit be?
What would the Canadian unit be?

for Argentina... I would probably say a cavalry unit from the 1880s period. Several indian wars against the Mapuches were fought and the tip of the balance was due to highly trained cavalry with good remington guns, they were the finest units in their time in Latin America.
