Iroquois

The Iroquois or the Iroquois Confederacy was a Native American campaign and they lived in the northeastern part of North America in the New World. The Iroquois were first featured in Age of Empires III and later presented as a playable civilization in Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs.

Overview
The Iroquois are more like the Europeans than the other Native American civilizations. They are also the only native civilization that possess Artillery unit.

Almost all of the Iroquois' units are ranged units, with the exception of Kanya Horseman and one of the two melee siege weapons of the game, the Ram (the other being the Flail Elephant).

Iroquois can have Travois, which can build most buildings for free. Start with one Travois. Have a unique Founder Dance in the Fire Pit which spawns Travois, as well as the Earth Mother Dance, which boosts population cap.

The Iroquois military is very effective and perform the best when they are mixed in an army of infantry units and siege weapons. An average Iroquois army should have a row of Mantlets in front, a line of Tomahawks, and some Forest Prowlers behind the Iroquois Tomahawks and maybe some Light Cannons in the rear of the group. It is good for the Iroquois to keep their War Chief in the center it all because he provides the units extra hit points.

Iroquois cavalry are their worst units but Musket Riders, when adequately upgraded, can provide excellent anti-cavalry support. Players should focus on infantry and siege weapons and ensure their War Chief is in the center of unit groups to enable extra hit points for them.

The Iroquois is a northern native tribe that can be made allies in the Great Lakes or New England areas. The Iroquois is made of five (and eventually six) other Native American tribes that settled along the Ontario river in northern America. A rule of the Confederacy was to keep at peace with all members, and against a foe, they were a strong united force. In Age of Empires III: The WarChiefs they were replaced by Huron.
