pretty soon
people are starting to focus their attention on these settings which are filled with good potential
not just aztecs but lots of different South American settings
the patagonia is a great setting for some horror slop
imagine after months of traveling the sea you arrive to a land of giant bonfires where human-like creatures lurk the night
>Lmao what a larp. Like 300 armored Spaniards took down tens of thousands of Aztec morons.
80% of the Aztecs died of spanish aids, and the Spanish had like 60 tribes sick of the Aztecs being bullies join them
This. Tenochtitlan and the surrounding lands had a pop of 2 million by the estimate of Cortez's men. There is absolutely no way they would've conquered them alone, without disease playing a big part and without courting all these people that'd been under their heel for a hundred years.
b***h they had bats with obsidian blades like in the OP
there are european records of them cutting spaniard horses in half with these things, obsidian is one of the sharpest things on the planet and severs shit on a molecular level, still used by surgeons today
fricking obsidian weapons, can you imagine, they used volcanic glass and knew how moron sharp it was
they had atlatls for launching spears with force, these frickers were scary
My guy that description of a horse getting cut in half is from Diaz and what he's talking about is not in battle it's some servants using one to saw the head off a dead horse over an hour or so.
Obsidian is very sharp, but very brittle and would absolutely shatter on chainmail like in the picture without piercing it. Aztecs had no metal armor at all so it wasn't a concern, but the Spaniards could be swarmed by 3 or 4 and simply would not go down.
I'm guessing you're half meming this shit but if you really are some Mexican trying to glorify your ancestors you need to focus on different aspects of Azteca stuff because they did not stack up well as warriors against the Spaniards, either in the Spanish sources or in the very rare native sources.
Also to answer the OP there is a game coming out about being an Aztec warrior in the Cortez era, it looks like pretty shitty shovelware but it does exist.

No the cut was a clean one in one swing, which is pretty impressive considering the macuahuitl was used to maim the opponent and sacrifice it later, not really designed to kill
Anon, I want you to really think about what it would take to chop off a horse head. If you tried it in one clean swing, the obsidian would shatter instantly. Sawing it over an hour sounds like reality
You can love meso-american history all you want but the reality is that the aztec empire was fricked before the spanish came >Weak leadership >terrible environmentalists, and climate change made people starve >government was tyrannical (google what the tribute states needs to give the triple alliance)
the spanish were just fire that blew the powder-keg.
When you say climate change, do you stuff like deforestation and hunting animals to extinction? Because I doubt the Aztecs were dealing with climate change in the modern sense
environmentalists, and climate change made people starve
what the hell are you talking about, tenochtitlan was a godlike city fricked by the spanish gays
What's worse? >Blacks thinking they were Egyptian Pharaohs >Natives thinking they were formidable opponents against the Colonizers >Asians thinking they'll ever become capitalist technological superpowers?

i only know the Incas from south america and thats it

Do you think this would have happened if the aztecs were let alone for another 100 years
Possibly only if they still met/traded with developed civs. Just giving them an extra century doesn't guarantee they figure out metal working
No. You need to remember Aztecs lived in the tropics.
People in really hot climates usually avoid enclosing armor like that.
sumerian game when
scythia when
frick you and your horse
Lmao what a larp. Like 300 armored Spaniards took down tens of thousands of Aztec morons.

Even more pathetic that some little microbes killed them off.

>it didn't count because you used tactics that I don't like
hate the game not the player thirdie
Spanish gays bugged the system and insta killed all the aztecs by just getting to Mexico (spanish sickness is op)

nah man I'm not a beaner or anything, the fact that they used obsidian weapons is chad shit
>weapons made from glass
>chad
No that sounds really dumb and lazy. Just sharpen a rock and attach it to a stick; it'll last you longer.
you can't surgically dismember someone on an atomic scale with a rock
You can kill a homie with a stick and frick his b***h. That's all you need.
You can't do it with an obsidian block either.
Maybe they should have used spears and bows instead of clubs like moronic cavemen
they did, even had scabbard-like tube things for spear-launching
bows, too

If you're willing to settle for the mayans instead, try this kino

thinking they were Egyptian Pharaohs
Expedition Conquistador.
Haven't actually played it tbh. Seems neat. Playing Rome now. Viking one seems boring.
Would be hella racist.
Hey my grandma had a carpet with that arm pattern.
