Hmm... amusing... now if only the Aztec uu had a normal base strength, I would actually play with them on emperor+.

Apocalypto was about Mayans, not Aztecs. Their empires were close enough together for culture to perhaps trickle back and forth between them, but they were quite distinct on the whole.

Human sacrifice just happens to be one religious idea that's been invented everywhere.

Im not sure about this, Im mexican and know a good deal about prehispanic history, and the Mayans where extinct long before the Spanish arrival, so either the movie is flawed, or it is in fact about the Aztecs.

According to wikipedia: "For reasons that are still debated, the Maya centers of the southern lowlands went into decline during the 8th and 9th centuries and were abandoned shortly thereafter... During the succeeding Postclassic period (from the 10th to the early 16th century), development in the northern centers persisted, characterized by an increasing diversity of external influences. The Maya cities of the northern lowlands in Yucatán continued to flourish for centuries more; some of the important sites in this era were Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Edzná, and Coba... Shortly after their first expeditions to the region, the Spanish initiated a number of attempts to subjugate the Maya and establish a colonial presence in the Maya territories of the Yucatán Peninsula and the Guatemalan highlands. This campaign, sometimes termed "The Spanish Conquest of Yucatán," would prove to be a lengthy and dangerous exercise for the conquistadores from the outset, and it would take some 170 years before the Spanish established substantive control over all Maya lands.

Unlike the Spanish campaigns against the Aztec and Inca Empires, there was no single Maya political center which once overthrown would hasten the end of collective resistance from the indigenous peoples. Instead, the conquistador forces needed to subdue the numerous independent Maya polities almost one by one, many of which kept up a fierce resistance."

@Silence101:

No war with AI indicated, those warriors are Barbs, not invited through the Wall.

Ha - Nice! I didn't notice.

Still, maybe the advisor should tend to the Great Wall instead of worrying about a sacrifice.

 

[09camaro]

wait, are you suggesting that your adviser can rebuild the wall and extend it? is this possible!?
