In a fascinating interview posted on developer World’s Edge’s site, tribal consultant Anthony Brave breaks down the problems with the original representation of Native Americans and some of the changes the team has made. They’re surprisingly far-reaching, suggesting World’s Edge are taking this seriously. They highlighted the changes in the game’s announcement post, saying “a key focus of our work at World’s Edge is to authentically represent the cultures and peoples that we depict in our games. While developing Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition, we realised that we weren’t upholding that value as well as we could regarding our Native American cultures; so we set out to fix that: working directly with tribal consultants to respectfully and accurately capture the uniqueness of their peoples, history, and cultures”.
