I agree with both Tesla Man and whoever posted the Mapuches comment. Giving anyone here a horse is anachronistic, since the horses were only introduced after the european settled on American soil. If you give them horses, why not also guns and rifles? Also, by saying "Sorry pal, but I only chose well-known, game-changing tribes that history has showcased." you basically mean "North-American and/or European history have showcased" the Mapuches where some seriously tough bastards, just try and find stuff about the Arauco War, and the chiefs Lautaro and ColoColo, just to name two, and you can see that they fought off the Spanish for centuries, without the use of guns or any firearm, just spears, and maces and bows and arrows. They used guerrilla warfare, surprise attacks, and had no armor whatsoever, being naked from the waist up. This list is pretty biased, and even if I'm Latin American and I find this battle quite enjoyable, the lack of more South american natives, with the exception of the Incas, makes it quite dull. I mean, I'm not saying that you add ALL of them, like the Guaranis, Charruas, Pampas, Wayuu, Pemon or the Warao, but you have two central americans (Aztecs and Mayas), two north americans (Apache and Sioux), and only one south american native group (Incas). Adding the Mapuche, which already have a page in this wiki, would be rather nice and keep things more even (2 - 2 - 2).
