didnt Vikings arrive closer to the Iroquois?
The Skraelinga how they called them were Inuits if I correctly. Might be wrong though. Have to look up again.
EDIT: It’s actually an insult referring to the Thule people which were Proto-Inuits.

For sure there are many other candidates for playable native civs in Age3, but at least the Inuit somewhat make sense. For Age2 they just don’t fit. The more I think about it, the more I feel it would be just disrepectful and ridiculous, like taking Age2 into the realm of fantasy.
Also making a civ just for a specific event just seems like a waste of time and effort. If the devs are going through the effort of adding a civ (which is a lot of effort), then it should be a permanent addition and have a lot of thought put behind it.

The next new civs should be at least 80 percent non-European.
There’s nothing important not covered in Europe at least indirectly. Some regions don’t even have proper substitute civs. Using Aztecs or Celts for Iroquois is just awkward.

They aslo interacted with Algonquian peoples further south (modern Newfoundland).
Technically the Inuit and pre-Inuit didn’t really fight off the Vikings though. They had violent encounters and did stave them off, but ultimately the Greenland Vikings collapsed because of their inability to adapt their social structure and culture to a new and fragile environment.

Italians are Kingdom of Italy which allows for Venetians (who aren’t in the Kingdom)

Tbh my biggest problem with them is that their territory is really really small and they are hard to make diferent from the other civs you can use to represent them
They can be an infantry civ ofc but making them an archer civ si the most popular idea around

In the above maps we can see that Venice was not part of the Kingdom of Italy (existing under the HRE). So the Venetians are potentially the best candidates for a new civ from the Italian peninsula. In addition, the Republic of Venice included the territory of present-day Slovenia, Albania, the Greek islands and the Serbo-Croatian scraps of territory. They were a huge power. Their presence would be the ultimate complement to the Balkans and the Apennine Peninsula.

What’s the problem with wood castles? Japanese have Castles made out of wood mostly too. European civs used stone and Africans used enforced clay structures for Fortification.
Better than the completely ahistorical Hunnic, Cuman and Mongol castles.

ok wood better than leafs
BUT did this wood castles exist IRL or is fiction?
Mississippians had great temple structures and built impressive cities with fortifications like you can see on this picture here:
This drawing was made by a former graphic designer for Forgotten Empires, the game studio behind all the DLCs of AOE2, called Kondrikthus on Deviantart.
