Real Native American stuff

Postby FearTheAmish » Mon Feb 25, 2013 2:54 am

Can we please get accurate Native American Garb/Designs please? The current headdress used is from western plains tribes around the rocky mountains. The tribes that would be encountered would be eastern woodlands and for most of the locations Creek/Cherokee, Below are some pictures to help.

really dont think anyone gives a crap about the historical accuracy on the exact style of feathered hats an extinct culture wore hundreds of years ago.

I would love to see more Native American garb. Even better if it's geographically correct.

Settlers defecting from the colonies and joining the natives was a major thing during the time period represented by the game, but that's no reason for them all to be wearing the latest from Paris, or whatever they've all got on in the screen shots.

Not MAJOR but common also taking children and raising them was rather common. Blue jacket and others are some highly known versions of this. oh and Dwaroth if it wasn't a big deal why are we playing a game about COLONIAL America? also most of these cultures aren't "extinct" but alive and well today and i am sorry not all of our suggestions are going to be new ways to grief noobs :roll:

the first is showing two painted to show Life and Death (blue is life) and going before a ceremony the second is just general tribal life of an Algonquin speaking tribe.

Maybe, but if there's a way to use it for such, it will be used.

I agree, we should have more native garments of the geographical region that the game is in.
It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9/NIV

I am a proud Christian, post this if you are proud to be one too.
