Well, I'm still weighing my options at the moment, especially since it's so early in the game. However I don't think I've played with the Native Americans before, or at least not recently, so I'm a bit rusty on their abilities. However, I noticed the totempole/archer thing, but Dog Soldiers seem pretty useful as well. Especially now that I've explored Matrix' starting position, and it appears he does not have copper, where I have it right next to my capital...
