Part 1, Prelude for Sacrifice
Turns 1-92
In the beginning there was plans for settlement and farming. Our people were ready to find a new home, to build up houses and farm the rich soil of our homeland. They were to build a home where they might live in peace and harmony for years to come. In prosperity they could raise their children to follow the ancient ways of their ancestors. They would teach their children the ways of sacrificing their enemies for angry gods and conquering the lesser civilizations of the world. They would do so happily, since that was the way of the Aztecs.
The first city of Aztecs was founded in lush lands just between the Ocean surrounding the world and short river that flows East from the place. There was some spices, incense and wine, that was founded later on as well as pearls on the Sea.
Early exploration. I was expecting to find someone closer to Aztecs but managed to bypass Ottoman territory at first.
By exploring the world Aztecs found out that they were somewhat far away from other civilizations of the world. Ottomans were founded to be the closest neighbor in North, while Indians were the first of the many quite far away in East. A large area of plains and even larger area of forrest and jungle was mapped between. From the ruins our scouts and Jaguar warriors found people to send for Tenochtitlan, new weapons, gold and badly made maps. There were a lot of ruins but sadly none had any interesting technology in them. When Aztecs got their pantheon of gods it was surprisingly for Oral Tradition, since there would be lot of plantations (fertilized by blood of enemies) to give more culture for Aztecs.
Known World in 1880 BC. It is somewhat Axe-shaped by now. Lots of barbarians to sacrifice! Happy days!
After finding the new neighbors there some changes were made recarding the naming of Aztec cities. Capital was renamed as "Sotakirves". The second city was founded near the wast plains and named by those as "Uhratut Pellot", since there was a lots of barbarians found near by and they ended in the fields. "Raudan Maku" was the third city to be founded near rich deposits of copper. Also some iron was later discovered near the city. To honor their Gods Aztecs also build the Stonehenge, for that could make a nice sacrifical site. It would be also easy to clean from all the blood, since someone decided to place the thing on the Sea.
Raudan Maku is founded North. Barbarians are sacrified for gods. Sotakirves is building something in secret (nearly completed by now) and explorations continue in East.
In social policies Aztecs started with Tradition, and that was followed by Honor and Liberty. Tradition was quite self explanatory, for the starting place was not optimal for growth. Honor would boost the Aztec war machine and make the sacrificing of enemies more valuable. This did alreadly boost nicely the Aztec culture. On the downside, the barbarians are now running short.
Aztecs also witnessed some early warfare by other Civilizations. The Assyrians who were founded East from India and Arabia started a war of Conquest against Arabia. They were very close to succeed taking Mekka and only prevented by the completion of Terracotta Army by Arabia.
Someway up North there were the Dutch and Huns. Dutch had a very good starting place and Attila was not pleased by this at all. He started a war that sacrificial barbarians seeking Aztec Spearman witnessed first hand by placing itself unfortunately just in the middle of warring parties. So far both parties are sure they are the one to prevail.
Duch capital of Manticore. Dutch did take their time to find perfect spot for their first city and it seems they succeeded.. to get the attention of Huns who are now invading Dutch.
News from East tell us that Mekka did not fall. It was very near to fall for Assurian attack. Forodus is also known as the leader of Romans.
And so ends the first game. We will be playing next time in two weeks, so it takes some time for next update.
PS: For those who like to know the names of Aztec cities but don't speak Finnish so well, here they are.
Sotakirves = Battle-Axe, or War Axe
Uhratut Pellot = Sacrified Fields
Raudan Maku = Taste of Iron
