Hah I can hear it now too now that you mention it. "Nāu" is the word he says and is a second-person past-possessive in Māori which can be used with a verb to imply the person being spoken to had done the action or was the cause of the action. Here it was him saying "It was you who did it (the things he'd just mentioned)"

Unlike all other leaders in this game, there's a lot of debate over if Kupe was a real person. Gilgamesh is generally agreed to have been based on someone who actually was King of Uruk, but doubt has been casted on the tales of Kupe's journeys. Just an interesting fact

Thanks for sharing. Kupe existence is much controversial than Gilgamesh indeed. The playstyle for Maori is interesting yet funny in the practicality sense that how can one gained more science and culture the longer you're at the sea before settlement. Culture point is fine but science? 🤔😅

I'd say that's not entirely right. Pūkana can mean a great many things based on the context as to why it's done. So it could be intimidation, or it could just be adding energy to a particular gesture. A lot of foreigners like to point at te ao māori and constantly refer to cannibalism is the only reason I'm really pointing out the difference, cause there's far more to it than just that historical aspect

When I was actively playing, we usually spent many turns just sailing around the sea to gain population, and when we gained enough, we settled somewhere. Despite their slower development than other cultures that settled quickly, the Maori could catch up really quickly with their booming population.
