      In both cases the overwhelming majority of the "Spanish troops" where enemies of the Aztecs / Inca. In the case of the Inca on top of that, the previously losing faction in the civil war allied with the Spanish.
      And yes, they used iron weapons very quickly. The Inca already used metal weapons along with stone, the Aztecs used obsidian.
      Its good to remember that the Inca was 2.5 million km2 empire, while the Aztecs where 1 city + 2 allied cities.

    The Aztecs are actually one of my favorite factions to play as in the game. Despite the lack of cavalry and things like catapults and trebuchets, I love how fast the infantry moves and how you can have them in such large numbers. Using them in human swarm tactics is always fun, and yeah, their ability to demoralize is OP.

    I remember in Vanilla I was playing as the Moors and after I finished the campaign objectives I gave away a ton of territory in Europe to the Aztecs. I don’t remember anything happening, like the other factions didn’t interact with them, but I do remember they had stacks of Arquebusiers because they couldn’t spawn their own native troops in Europe.

    "And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
    It was in the year 1204 AD, when God had forsaken us. When the Aztecs came to sate the thirst of their foul gods for the blood of the innocent.
    The Aztec's conquest was swift and brutal and their gods bestowed them with darkest blessings and berserker like fury for a tithe, paid in blood as they slaughtered their way through the Iberian Peninsula.
    When God decided to punish his wayward children with pestilence, ravaging friends and foes alike, it was almost a reprieve from the advancing hordes pressing into the faithful's heartlands.
    The Pope's most faithful mobilized new and innovative war machines to combat the coming hordes, but as with all hordes, there are always more warriors, eager to take their fallen brother's place.
    The sacking of the British isles at the hand of a break-a-way horde can only be considered a footnote at this point.
    On January 12th, 1370 AD at Rome the God's Faithful resolve to resist the onslaught was shattered together with the papal armies and what little resistance remained was sacrificed to the Aztecs ever so thirsty gods.
    Today, whatever remains free from direct control by the Aztec Empire pays a steep tithe in gold and blood. Some look to the east, trying to gain favor with the muslim heretic tribes, betraying their own god to kill another, others place their hope in the cold winters of the moscowiter realm to deter the hordes from advancing further.
    In these dark times, all hope seems lost. There is only war and the thirst of violent gods.
    Scriptor Joacino Da Gona, 1404 AD

      It’s a really interesting scenario to think about.
      What if the Mayans or Aztecs were the ones to rapidly advance their civilization instead of the Greeks & Latins? What if this highly advanced Native American Empire of Mayans or Aztecs discovered & conquered Europe while it was still nothing more than petty Celtic tribes & Latin kingdoms? What would a world look like where Native Americans dominate the modern world both culturally & ethnically?
      We might’ve had some humanized form of Mesoamerican religion as the dominant faith in this world, rather than Christianity. Our language & writing system would likely be either a mix of european & native american style at best, & entirely replaced with Native American style at worst. Obviously architecture would look far different than it does in our timeline.
      Honestly, It’s depressing to see a civilization with so much potential be reduced to ruin by the Europeans. The Asians got lucky in that much of their culture is still more-or-less intact after all these years. But what would our world have been like if Christopher Columbus discovered Asia instead of the Americas? The world may never know, I guess.

      But its not enjoyable if the AI spawns stuff infront of you the moment you siege something and neither is it fun if you can barely afford anything while the AI has no problems whatsoever - thats no challenge but makes you always feel miserable and powerless no matter your victories - its the same issue as in TW Warhammer because even if you win it won't matter because the AI will instantly recover.
      Its to me the absolute worst way of design and ruins the entire experience, as all of your expansions or victories wont or barely matter anymore.
      I understand what you mean but if the cheats are so obvious and makes the player always seem punished for playing the game its simply no fun and a very artificial "challenge" that comes down to "we higher stats lol"
      It would be far better if there would be other lategame challenges like another AI becoming very big and powerful like you so you have a major fight while the minors pick sides. That would be fun lategame difficulty without obvious cheating. Same goes for an adaptable difficulty, there are many ways to design this but the way it is in the LOTR mod is just ew.
