Iroquois bugged?

[Tatanka]

Played em on arborea was swamped in forest, discovered wheel, no city connections no faster movement of units ...

[Tatanka]

nvm for city connections need to be inside territory

Not the greates civ. Only thing one can do is get the mohawk warrior and build an army of them and upgrade to longswords and crush,

[Tatanka]

dont care, its just to get the iroquois achievements
Its pretty fun not to have build roads, extra money :P

There is also one "hidden" benefit in Iroquois UA. You get also bridges, well before anybody else. Forests inside your territory function as roads, but you have also bridges in those invisibile roads.

Iroquois can have bridges or sort of at turn 0, if the settle their capital next to a river, while other civs have to wait until Engineering technology. Many players have not realized that benefit. Try and you see that rivers don't use all your movement points when you go across a river, where both sides of the river have forests inside your borders. Normally I chop down all riverside forests with other civs, but I usually left some forest-bridges when I play as Iroquois.

Well i just went industrial so well past that but good to know, im actually liking the Iroquois. Kinda cheating to play on arborea map but those forests are really booming my civ.
Choose godess of the hunt got lucky enough to start in the north with tons of deer and fur so alot of camps. Food and production is incredibly insane. Not to mention the fast movement of workers inside territory, already had to delete some because there was nothing left to do lol.
Not to mention getting city connections, buy tile, city connected, so easy. usually im building a road occupieing a worker for xxx turns before setler is even build.
