Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas Oh My!

As I said on some other topic a while ago:

@dededoritos

Take in mind that this is only a game, and it does not pretend to create a trustworthy representation of historical events, but rather take some inspiration on those events to model its creativity. So, of course, there will be many innacuracies, and that is fairly reasonable if you take in account that this is a game with 35 different civilizations depicts and a lot of creativity freedom.

In aoe3 all techs, units and building were renamed and given special skins.

I actually find this approach really clever and works very well to me.

And from where you two took so many misconceptions about amerindians?

No access to wheels; being short and wide; Mayans being killed before Cortez’s arrive; Incas and Aztecs being mostly killed by Spanish; Aztecs based on mass genocide. I’ve studied a fair amount about amerindians, mostly Mexicas, and have never seen anything near to a consensus on the literature that supports any of these allegations. These are miths, to the best.
