One of the new playable civilizations for the WarChiefs expansion is the Sioux. We selected the Sioux because they were a mighty nation whose territory was larger than any Western European country. They controlled a large swatch of the North American continent, and their relationships with other tribes were important. They reached their greatest power in the mid- to late 1800s. In their wars with the US, they proved to be a dangerous but honorable opponent.
The Sioux are divided into a number of smaller groups -- their main language groups are the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota. The Lakota already made an appearance in Age 3 as a minor ally. Now the Sioux nation as a whole will be playable.
The Sioux in Age 3
A Sioux player will immediately notice their greatest advantage -- the Sioux do not need to build houses in order to increase their population. Instead, their population starts at the normal game maximum of 200 and stays there throughout the game. Ensemble Studios' old-time fans may note this is reminiscent of the Hun bonus in the Age of Kings.
The Sioux Warchief, uniquely, is mounted, so he is faster than any other nations' explorers or warchiefs. He can quickly scout the map, and is dangerous in combat, though he does not have a ranged attack. He shares the Nature Friendship ability with the Iroquois Warchief. He increases the speed of nearby warriors, enabling a Sioux player to carry out hit-and-run raids better than any other nation.
The Sioux firepit is a major bonus throughout the game. In the early game it can be used to boost the Warchief's hit points or speed unit production, among other things. An important late-game dance is the unique Sioux Fire Dance, which boosts the damage of all Sioux units vs. buildings, and is the Sioux's major siege method.
