Huitzilopochtli
Resumen
Huitzilopochtli was the main Mexica God since he was God of war and zenith sun. He was associated with strength and war. He commanded the Mexica to daily feed him with the hearts of defeated enemies, allowing the sun to continue its cycle, therefore Mexica made plenty of enemies and went to many wars. This way life was always assured.
Huitzilopochtli will be an aggressive focused God, no peace just war, he will have different military boosts that will emphasize this strategy. Its main focus will be mythology as he can gather favor faster than other gods and haves access to minor gods which can boast this strategy.
Previously we had shown a different Huitzilopochtli image, but we do not have rights over that image. So we are now depicting a different image created by our collaborative artist Ariel Rauögrani.

Tezcatlipoca
Resumen
Tezcatlipoca Moyocoyani was God of darkness, night, the unseen, and battle. He represented the dark side of the cosmos and was a duality to his twin brother Quetzalcoatl. As lord of war, Tezcatlipoca constantly drove humans to battle and was therefore known as the enemy of both sides. Tezcatlipoca was believed to embody the most admirable values and qualities of a warrior. He was bold and daring, yet he often used cunning to outwit his rivals.
Similar to Huitzilopochtli, Tezcatlipoca will be an aggressive focused God with different military boosts that will support this playstyle. Though different than Huitzilopochtli, his main game will be through human warriors and priests as he will have bonuses to boost this strategy.
Tezcatlipoca art has also been created by our collaborative artist Ariel Rauögrani.

Quetzalcoatl
Resumen
Quetzalcoatl was arguably Mesoamerica’s most important God. He was God of life, light, knowledge, and virtue. He was one of the primigenial Gods, he created earth and life on it. He created men and always loved them, Quetzalcoatl gave humanity many gifts such as corn, alcoholic drinks, knowledge, and the ability to love.
In contrast to Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl is not meant to be an aggressive war, God. His playstyle will be more focused on the economy and defense. So this God will offer a completely different way of playing the Aztec civilization.
Displayed Quetzalcoatl art will not be the final one. We’ll use this one to illustrate until we get one of our own.
Quetzalcoatl statue has been based on elements from different Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Quetzalcoatl heads from Teotihuacan and the Quetzalcoatl temple reliefs at Xochicalco. It is represented by his most famous form, as a Serpent all covered with feathers.
Bonuses:
- Calmecac units cost 15% less
