This thread is to add more information about warfare, architecture, office titles etc useful to represent Iroquis faction (if it appears) and other tribes to make them useful and dangerous rebels and mercenaries.
Fists I will quote myslef from the MTW VI sub-forum:
I have made extensive research and believe I have most of the data required to add the Iroquis to the game.
Of course it was tribal army so no real professional force was created, but warriors banded together , some were armed better, some less etc.
The Iroquois roster from the patched MP for PMTW 1.5 is good enough, but some additional images for the MTW2 are still necessary.
Here are those I founsd most useful:
Note the small number of any metal weaponry or anything from metal in general.
Native Americans used little armour, but the Huron warrior wears the wooden armour used in pre-musket period by better warriors.
Natives were mostly armed with clubs, bows etc, but also spears and shields. More research has to be done to define the shape of the shield of course.

Later warriors - musket was adopted to such extent that bowmen became rare in some communities.

See that still the famous tomahawk wasn't very popular. Various clubs were easier to get and some of those were real works of art.

So basically we need more data about Native shields - of course the Woodland Indians used most likely different than the one from Central N.America - most likely from wood with leather surface.:book:
More threads like this will be started, fortunatelly many areas of research are already covered thanks to the MTW VI project.:2thumbsup:
