There are several takes you can have on this Mongols, Aztecs, even Native American if you prefer
I'm with Ivan here to be honest. Its a trivial issue but i dont see how Americans would fit in to this. Not knocking Americas but they really werent involved in any of these periods. If we involved American's from the time that America was founded, gunpowder was already in production, which would completely negate every other troop and current defense. Americas a great place an all, but i dont see how thats relevant to the game. (Trying REALLY hard not to be offensive here, but if i fail, call me out on it)
Someone also had a very good point in an earlier thread also pointing out that Ballastias arent really appropriate for the "era" either, but in terms of the mechanics they really work out. So there may be a place for races in here somewhere to make the game better. I guess we will just have to see.
