Today we got a first look of Tecumseh! He is diplomatic and militaristic, with a starting bias for grassland and plains. He is getting food and production bonuses as well as military strength bonuses for every city state you are suzerain of. For the discussion about Tecumseh please check this thread.

Also today we got an article by APNews, called “Civilization 7 makers work with Shawnee to bring sincere representation of the tribe to the game“. In this article it is described how Firaxis approached the Shawnee about the inclusion of them in Civ7, and all the thoughts and challenges which this included. Which might have been also helped by the fact that Shawnee Chief Ben Barnes is a fan of the game Alpha Centauri. For the discussion of this article please check here.
