Sitting Bull is Philosophical and Protective and starts with Fishing and Agriculture. The Philosophical trait +100% Great People birth rate, and +100% production bonus towards University. Protective gives Drill I and City Garrison I as free promotions to all Archery and Gunpowder units, and +100% production bonus towards Walls and Castle.
Your Unique unit is the Dog Soldier, replacing the Axeman. Dog Soldiers have a lower base strength than ordinary Axemen, only 4. To make up for it they get +100% against melee instead of the Axeman's +50%, and don't require Copper to build. Your Unique building is the Totem Pole, replacing the Monument. On top of the customary culture bonus of Monuments, the Totem Pole also gives +3 xp to all Archery units built in the city.
IMPORTANT: This game must be played with the BtS 3.19 patch, and the BUFFY mod version 3.19.001.
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
