Anno 1503. Europe is coming out of the Medieval chaos. New national states Portugal, Spain, France and England are becoming more and more powerful. Their ships are sailing to the West; their armies are ready to conquer new land. New merchants class is rising, whose needs for exotic goods are a driving force for the expansion of European Kingdoms. Could the old empires of Aztecs and Incas resist their invasion ? Oh, honourable general Atlahua, Your Emperor sent You to the north of Your land to check if rumours about new white men are true. You found out that they came from a distant overseas land Spain and had already established a small settlement on the coast, Santa Maria. Their powerful white houses that could even sail on the water made a strong impression on your soldiers. You decided to wait until the water-houses disappeared on the horizon, and attacked the village. The white men were outnumbered and easily defeated. Your army plundered their small settlement and found a lot of new strange tools and weapons. The prisoners were sent to Your capital Teotihuacan, to be shown to His Highness, The Son of The Sun, The Flying Eagle, The Emperor Montezuma. Faced with a choice between death as the sacrificial offering to Quezacoatl and a nice life of royal advisers in the golden town of Teotihuacan, they accepted to reveal the secrets of European technology, culture and religion. That had a tremendous impact on your society that started to change rapidly. A new Christian religion with an Aztec flavour was accepted by a lot of people, making a mixture with the old myths. Oh, honourable Atlahua, Your Emperor ordered You and to the generals and scientists to work hard in order to develop Your nation and prepare for the confrontation against Europeans. The Eagle will fly over the sea.
