Going for Conquest
MONTEZUMA LOOKED OUT over the forested plains in the south, where
coyotes, chinchillas, otters and possums were roving, and thought that
could be a site for his capital, where two shields per turn would be
produced in the city centre. His Worker team he sent to the adjacent
Furs Forest with the purpose of cutting it down.
ONCE ARRIVED in the Forest, Montezuma saw Desert, a Hill and
apparently Flood Plains by the river. "Let's climb that Hill!" he
said. His people groaned. "You said we'd settle here!" "My feet are
aching!" Bingo! There grew Wheat on those Flood Plains.
MONTEZUMA was celebrated as a great leader and his Cihuacoatl, that is
First Counsellor, a fellow called Più Freddo, quickly made up plans
for something quite extraordinary: The Aztecs would use a despotic
Golden Age for a Warrior and Settler four-turn combo factory before
having mined ready for a regular factory. As it turned out, The
Republic was discovered just after the Golden Age, which made it
possible to collect 10 slices of bread per turn in Tenochtitlan.
TENOCHTITLAN was founded in 3850 BC and produced the following until 1000 BC
- Wealth
- A Jaguar Warrior for scouting and triggering the Golden Age
- A Granary
- A Worker
- A Settler
- A Barracks
- During the Golden Age: Five 3-turn Settlers and 1-turn Warriors
- Under Depsotism: Another 3-turn Settler
- Under Anarchy: nothing
- Under Republic: Three short-rushed 2-turn Settlers
- Wealth to grow and eleven 1-turn Workers
- A 1-turn Settler
- A Horseman

MONTEZUMA ATTEMPTED TO CONQUER the world without ever leaving the
Ancient Age. The MP Warriors were upgraded and a few more Swordsmen
built, since finding and connecting Horses took some time. The hope
was long high in the Aztec empire, that the Dutch would be found and
conquered as well, but suicide Galleys sank at sea.

AT THIS POINT, the whole home continent was Aztec. A few turns
earlier, once the Dutch borders at least had been spotted, it was
clear they couldn't be touched without another age of research. The
decision was made to make a very late switch to Domination. Montezuma
cursed the evil earth-god of civ_steve! More than 400 tiles were
missing.
