With no other civs on North America, one civ starting there will not get a starting tech. The main reasons I chose the Sioux over the Americans were so I would have the Chinese to trade with and the Sioux start out closer to where I like my SSC. But perhaps the Indians would make better trading partners than the Chinese because of the distance factor.
I've made a small world map that I think will be excellent to try this on. I didn't make the best possible starting position (didn't want to make it too easy) but it has a decent SSC site and it's great if you like trading opportunities. If it works out well I'll post it. But now, now I will do Physics.
