TLATOANI: AZTEC CITIES – FEATURES:
RISE AND BECOME TLATOANI: Shape the history of the Aztec Civilization, one legendary city at a time. From a single metropolis, to multiple city-states and finally an empire. Conquer the wilderness of Mesoamerica, build a nation and raise as its destined emperor – Tlatoani.
DEEP AZTEC CITY SIMULATION: Immerse yourself in a detailed simulation of an Aztec city-state and its society. All citizens are individually simulated, with their own skills, needs, duties, faiths, moods and daily routines.
MAKE YOUR STATE FLOURISH: Gather and produce dozens of goods and resources to provide for your citizens. Develop your city-states’ economy through managing your treasury, services, military, festivals and religion. Every good emperor must first learn to be a good statesman.
EMBRACE THE SYMMETRY: Honor the Aztec gods! Align, mirror, and balance the surroundings of your temple and government buildings to achieve divine symmetry and earn the favor of the gods — or face their wrath.
SPREAD YOUR INFLUENCE: Your cities exist within the broad Mesoamerica region. Engage in diplomacy with other city-states, trade, build alliances and conquer your enemies. Experience or change history in an extensive campaign, or play in scenarios and sandbox mode.
