In Progress Now! Aztec!

[Traianus]

Thanks, Tlc. Perhaps a resource they need to build cheaper units or something like that?

 

[The Last Conformist]

What Rood & Dragon does is having a uber-unit requiring all three "target" resources.

 

[Traianus]

That's food for thought. tnx

Hi Tri just wondering if you are still working on this?

 

[Traianus]

Hi Sword. I've had a pretty rough time, computer-wise! My work PC died about three weeks ago and I lost the hard drive - God damn W.Millenium!! I got it back but it wiped it's own OS 2 days later! In the meantime I got a new job offer so my boss here wouldn't sanction a new computer for me and I've been homeless in the office since. So, to answer your question, yes. Aztec is still on but I won't be able to really get stuck in 'til I start my new job. I'll be working from home and they're paying for my new broadband connection!!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

That is great news and bad news all toghether

I just wanted you to know that i have some new stuff for your mod coming out soon.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Hows this coming?

 

[Traianus]

Hi Sword!
I got seriously bogged down with some gameplay issues in the mod, not least of the problems was a Spain that simply refuses to attack anyone eventhough their military is ridiculously overpowered at this stage. So I took a step back and am concentrating on the pedia and graphics for a while. The Aztec interface will be ready soon.
I'm thinking that then I might u/load the mod with just the first era complete so we can finally get some feedback.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I was thinking of buying a set of handsome Mayan-style crowns and making a couple more leaderheads maybe(the least of which will be a new version of my Toltec leader).

I think I got all the units covered with the three I did specificly for your mod.. I want to make a Coyote Warrior in the future but I have idea what they looked like.

 

[Traianus]

I might be able to help you there. I'm pretty sure i saw one somewhere recently. Your help has been fantastic. The toltec LH is already in. Any improvement welcome but new ones more so!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

How many leaders could you use?

 

[Traianus]

I think about three or four would do. I'm just going to use statics for the less important nations.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

What nations do you need the heads for?

 

[Traianus]

mostly generic 'aztec' types. they'll all be from the valley of Mexico so will be similar culturally. One apart from these will be a yaki woman. She would need to be kind of wild looking with desert backgrounds.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

What is a yaki? Is that a tribe in the area?

 

[Traianus]

Yeah. They're a tribe from the Sonora area. More commonly spelled Yaqui. In the Aztec novels they are a very warlike tribe and one of their women, called G'nda Ke is an important character.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Are these novels based on history? They sound interesting.

BTW Do you want me to release my Mesoamerican city set I made? I decided not to make it era-specific, too much on my plate now..

 

[Traianus]

They are actually a tribe. Very important one too. they resisited the spanish and then the Mexicans for hundreds of years. Still going strong. The novels are by the late Gary Jennings. Absolutely excellent work - Aztec, Aztec Autumn and Aztec Blood.
I remember you made a Mesoamertican set a while ago which was a revamp of the one you did a few months before that. Is this new? Release the beast, is what I say!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Here they are...you could use the standard Firaxis cities as the first era, and these as the second era.

 

[Traianus]

I will be using those for sure. I think for the olmec/mixtec nations. Thanks!
