Description

Changes the UA and improves the UB to make the Iroquois a formidable nation. This mod removes the Forests-As-Road ability and instead gives all combat units double movement through forests and jungles. This means that your troops will immediately be able to recon very efficiently. This is ESSENTIAL, as both the unique building and the unique unit need forest cities to maximize their efficiency. This also goes well with their Civilopedia entry, which mentions that the Iroquois were able to travel vast distances very quickly.

In addition, the Longhouse now also gives an additional +5% production. This means that you will have a less severe penalty if you want to build a coastal or jungle city.

Q. Does this means that I'll have to build roads and railroads now?
A. In the vanilla game, forests/jungles acted as city connections for the Gold and Production bonus, but never gave the movement bonuses from Machinery and Railroads, so you eventually had to build them anyway.

Q. What about Mohawk Warriors, the unique Swordsman replacement?
A. I have not altered the stats of the Mohawk Warrior, but with the new UA they also get double movement through forests and jungles. Coupled with their forest/jungle combat bonus and independence from iron, and you've got a very ferocious fighting force.

Q. Do scouts get double movement too?
A. Yes. Which means that they can move through forested areas very quickly.

Honestly, I tend to think of Hiawatha as a gambling character.
You start in a dense forest/jungle, you win. No ifs, no buts. His production becomes God tier and once universities are unlocked his science skyrockets as well. The forests make him difficult to invade for enemy civs, but with a wide empire and lots of land in your borders you're able to pump out units every turn and quickly move them out in a neverending tide of densly forested death.
But you start anywhere else, even if you've got a relatively decent amount of forest, if it isn't ultra dense then Hiawatha's kinda meh at best.

Without mods Hiawatha's either God tier or crap. With extra production from this mod and permanent extra movement through forest, he'll be either good (unless you start with like 1 forest tile for 10 tiles around, in which case GG) or, with a dense enough forest/jungle, OP to the max
