The main thing I don’t get about VP Inca is their lack of culture. I really don’t think science on mountains reflects the Inca all that well, so it’s probably my attempts at trying to infuse more culture into the civ.
By the 1500s the Inca didn’t have metalworking outside of gold and silversmithing. They didn’t have a written language (as we might define one, anyways), and they didn’t use wheels or currency and tons of other what we might consider basic technologies. However, they had exceptionally strong institutions, and their administrative and bureaucratic capacity was greater than contemporary European monarchies. They had some wonderful technologies like freeze drying and agricultural methods for high altitudes, but I feel like the core strength of the Incan empire was its taxation system and its institutions. Perhaps you can argue those are innovations in and of themselves, but the culture/policy system in civ reflects them more precisely.
re: the encampment, it has science on it, so I don’t think the overlap is serious there.
