Civs included. Just the facts madam 2.

This has got to be the most popular thread on Apolyton! Over 6000 views and still growing!

In regards to the Iroquois/Aztec units, I consider the mounted chieftain as too "Plains tribe"-ish to be the Iroquois unit. I think the infantry "Brave" is more likely. The other unit is also possible as the Aztec Eagle Warrior.

I suppose the horseman with the headress could be a special leader unit for the Iroquois. I don't know.

But bring on randomized colors! Don't attach civs to colors! I was mad about CivII; Germans, French, and Vikings all dark blue! Yes they all look good in the color, but that ruins any hope of a European scenario. The same is true of Indians and Mongols as purple and Greeks and Carthaginians as orange or even Celts and Romans as white!

Go random colors!

Most likely not the Aztecs because they didn't even know of the existence of horses until the Spanish attacked them.

I'm not sure about the other two. They are grainy. I believe they may be the same unit, in different stages of development, and also in different stages of the animation.

Why weren't you around when ver 2 started?

I was around, I just avoided all the speculation and random guessing.

Indian (well, North American Native American Indians) Chiefs wore those big head dresses. And thats what the guy on the horse is wearing...

The one with the two feathers could be a Brave, and the other one an Eagle Warrior. But if both were unique Warriors, that would thow off my origanal idea. However, what if Brave = Impi = Warrior and Eagle Warrior = Hoplite = Spearmen/Phalanx? Eh? eh?

I guess it doesnt really matter, we'll hear all about them in the Civ of the Weeks coming up.... plus the game is coming in October


oh well

In the screenshot where the Horseback Indian were first shown, it is shown in the same color as Salamanca (Grey) which proves that it is a unit of the Iroquois. It may still be a common unit or leader, but it can't be Unique Unit of any other civ.

I located this picture farther down on the front page of Civ3.com. I think everyone missed it as they were rushing for the "civ of the week." I believe it contains:

Eagle Warrior (Aztecs)
Samurai (Japanese)
Warrior (Generic)
Cleopatra (Egyptians, in her renaissance garb)

Any thoughts, folks?
