The conquest of Mexico (The Aztec's road to empire) version 2.0 by Jesús Balsinde Civ-II Fantastic Worlds scenario for ToT
The Aztecs entered Anáhuac (the Valley of Mexico) in the mid-thirteenth century, but it was not until 1325 when they founded their capital city, Tenochtitlán, in the place where an eagle was sighted killing a snake on a cactus. Gradually the Aztecs transformed their capital from a miserable village of thatched huts to a grand city with adobe houses and stone temples. Paralleling the sophistication of their city, the Aztecs put themselves on the road to empire. Aggressive expansionism and wise alliances allowed the Aztecs to establish an empire that encompassed most of Anáhuac, and a population that numbered in millions. But the Aztec empire, cemented on hatred and tyranny, was soon destined to meet its doomsday. Bearded white men from across the seas terminated with the Aztec imperial illusions in only two years. Would you be able to create an empire in Anáhuac strong enough to hold off the devilish Spaniards?
