The Minuachi Dynasty
The Minuachi Dynasty in Inca history is a relatively mysterious period of time, due mainly to the lack of many written records detailing with it's highs and lows. What little we do now comes from the late records of the Hakonun dynasty, which imply that Minuachi succeeded Hakon XV in around 1085 A.D. The founder of the Minuachi dynasty was Palpa Minuachi I, who inherited a country in the middle of a bloody war with the neighboring Mayans.
Palpa Minuachi I however died of old age soon after he took over control of Incaland. In his place stood the faithful Chiquitachi Palpauchi Minuachi I, who immediatly turned his attention to conquest. Upon his order, many coastal cities in Spain turned their attention to the construction of ships, to carry Spain's massive military population to the New World. In the New World itself, a massive force of some 9000 men was heading North towards a major Mayan port, while an even larger force of some 12000 men was getting ready for an assault on the capital of Chitcen Itza itself.
By 1110, Chiquitachi Palpauchi Minuachi the First's armies had annhialated Palenque after a brief siege, losing less then 2000 men. By that time, 6000 men had also laid siege to Chitzen Itza, with 6000 more soon to come. Despite a minor failure in Southern Mayaland, the people were still so enthusiastic as to expand Minuachi's palace.
Encouraged by the good news, Minuachi continued his path of conquest. Chitzen Itza soon faced a force of some 10,000 men and countless siege weapons, with the generals merely waiting for the order to break the siege. However before he dealt with Chitzen Itza, Minuachi decided to finish up the Southern campaign. After a brief siege at the hands of 4000 men and trebuchets, Quirigua fell, bringing even more good news to the Incan masses. Still, the best was yet to come.
By now, a force of 21,000 marched outside Chitzen Itza's city walls day and night. By 1140, the ancient city was seriously contemplating surrender, but the tyrannical rulers never gave in to the peoples voices. Finally in 1151, after growing frustrated at the failure of several trebuchet barrages, Minuachi ordered the final battle to commence. The Mayans fought bravely, killing many Incan souls... but the strength and number of the Incans was too large to overcome. In the month of the Iguana in 1156, Chitzen Itza fell. The Incans now controlled the Oracle and the Great Library, and most of what used to be the land of the Maya.
However protests soon sank in, as the populace grew tired of war. Minuachi was a stubborn man though, and refused to listen to a people who didn't know what was good for them. He was convinced he could complete the conquest in his lifetime, even now that he was well into old age. He swore to anyone he met that good news were around the corner. He was right.
A month later, Adam Smith's trading company was completed in Barcelona. A foreigner from England, Smith had managed to revolutionize Incaland's complex bureocracy into an efficient gold producing machine.
THE INCANS HAD ENTERED A GOLDEN AGE!!!. Back on the front, the armies had completely conquered the Southern Mayan continent, capturing the isolated fortress of Calakmul. In the North, the Incans rapidly advanced as well, taking over the strategic port of Yaxchilan. With it under Incan control, the Incan navy was able to place 3000 men outside of the Mayan capital of Tikal, beginning the siege there. Only 2 Mayan cities remained, and Minuachi was sure that succes was close at hand (Despite him being almost 90 years old). In fact, an exchange of maps with the English has led some modern scholars to believe that he had an eventual invasion of England in mind as well.
Alas it was not to be. Chiquitachi Palpauchi Minuachi the First died of old age in Madrid in 1190 A.D. His armies were right outside of Tikal, with caravels heading towards Bonampak. Outside of Seville 20,000 men were boarded onto an Armada, ready for whatever war Minuachi had planned next. The royal treasury was recieving some 138 gold coins a turn. The funeral was great, as the Incan people celebrated one of their greatest kings in memory. His son, Chiquitachi Palpauchi Minuachi the Second took over in the month of the Jaguar, 1191. His fathers last instructions were to finish his conquest in Mayaland for him and to move on to the land of England.

p.s. I'm in Algebra 3/4 AC, but unless I ace this final I'm going to go down to regular. God I hate this teacher...
) You annihilated Maya, got Smith's, and a golden age! From such humble beginnings, we now have the makings of our very own invasion force! Once an attack begins on England we can swarm Byzantines with relative ease...the question next, however, would be who to attack next after they fall...hmm...
. My C3C still hasn't been fixed (blame the snow). Skip me again (hopefully for the last time).
