Sioux have some good units, but terrible eco, little chance to defend homecity, no minutemen, no walls, no cannons, no factories - etc. Even so the original EP changes nerfed the bowriders. It really doesn't make any sense.
So - because of this, there where a big discussion (the 16 page thread) where all this was discussed. And despite of that, No changes where made to the civ in the new patch.
Btw: sioux are not underrated cos they are underplayed - you got that all wrong. They are underplayed cos they are not competitive. I would say they are not underrated, but more rated for what they are/have become.
They are underplayed cos they are not competitive, with very few exceptions (being H2o or Blackstar, or playing on decks with many trading posts IF you are fast enough to grab them).
