Absence of Native Lenape Settlement on the Maps

I’ve been playing the Battle of Queenston Heights for a while now, as it’s one of my favorites and I almost never get tired of replaying it. However, I’ve noticed the absence of the Lenape tribe on the American maps when playing in skirmish mode. Does anyone know why this tribe hasn’t been added to the American maps and why it’s only playable in the historical Battle of Queenston Heights?, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some context as to why these natives are excluded from the Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition maps. Another strange thing I don’t understand is why the Canadian faction uses some North American units like the State Militia or Sharpshooter when they should be using purely British units. As far as I know, instead of the North American units, they should have the Ranger and the Colonial Militia. Anyway, I hope someone can clear up my doubts and, more than anything, give me some context as to why these things happen in the game. Thank you very much and greetings to all.

I don’t know why they weren’t included on any standard maps, but I put them on the unknown map so they could be enjoyed outside the historical battle.

Thanks, I’ll check the map to see if I’m lucky enough to run into them.

They are busted if you ever roll them on unknown

Tanky ass skirms, extra vil production and the farm tech is basically food silo and sustainable agriculture card all in one.

it feels really nice but yeah if it was multiplayer i can see it not going well.

Et pour cela je t’en remercie, pour être honnête je ne joue qu’avec la carte inconnue et le choix de ma civs au hasard :stuck_out_tongue:

They are a unique minor civilization from the historical battles, but they can be played on an unknown map, like the Iroquois and Lakota minor civilizations from the original Age of Empires 3…

Ces parties se déroulent également sur une carte inconnue…

je trouve que ce sont les plus marrantes ^^

Yep.

Also I added some fun alliances when you get a native embassy. Saltpeter and a Pirate alliance are possible and bringing unique techs.

I once rolled a saltpeter nat and mistakenly read that it boosted all gunpowder stats and was very disappointed to find out that it only boosted siege damage

btw I did you add unknown maps where the hero units are swapped or are also randomised? I got a few games recently where a few of the players had hero units from other civs like japan with the lakota hero

Hahaha yes I did. I don’t have the map file open but it’s maybe 1/1000 chance. Maybe rarer.

I got the Pirate one recently when playing on Unknown. I haven’t seen the Saltpeter one yet.
