Shields and Identification

[Roy1991]

Generic native-american factions that no one except Americans who wish to play closer "to home" cares about...

1- Tarascans
2- Tlaxcalans
3- Apachean Tribes
4- Mayans
5- Chichimec (sp?) Tribes

There is a book called 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus, it mentions some of the tribes the game has, it's a good read.

I think it's funny how many Europeans think we Americans will really like the Americas campaign.

Firstly, practically none of us are of Native American or Spanish descent, so it really has nothing to do with us.

Secondly, as Americans, we're probably a bit better at spotting the sometimes laughable inaccuracies in the Americas campaign, much like the Japanese no doubt laugh at us when we make samurai movies. ^_^

And yeah, it was pretty shocking to be nice enough to post pictures of all of the shields, then be so rude about the Americas campaign.

Now, if you'll excuse me, this American, who is only second generation and who's grandparents are Welsh, is going to go continue my campaign as Wales!

I am really loving Kingdoms!

Practically no Americans are of spanish descent? Surely you lie. :-)

That would depend on if you regard anyone born in California or Texas as a Mexican, based on "manifest destiny" or not

I would guess the number of Americans actually descended from Spaniards from Spain is incredibly low.

The proper term for people who have Central and South American Spanish-speaking ancestors is Latino and Latina

But wasn't the point that few americans identified with the americas campaign as none were descended from indians or spanish? Surely latinas and latinos, although have a strong mestizo element, are also descended from spanish people from spain?
