Mexico 1519




Steam

ABOUT THIS CONTENT


In April 1519, Hernán Cortés lands on the Gulf of Mexico coastline at the head of a Spanish expedition from Cuba, where he establishes the city of Villa Rica de Vera Cruz. Local population welcome is warm, as they see him as the envoy of the god Quetzalcóatl (the famous feathered serpent). Emperor Moctezuma had many dreams that forecasted the arrival of the divine envoy, so he is benevolent and fearless, sending ambassadors with gold presents, which only manage to excite the envy of the conquistador.

This is the beginning of the adventure!

This scenario lasts 14 turns, each of 2 months between April 1519 and August 1521. It opposes the Conquistadors led by Cortés to the peoples and warriors of the Aztec Empire.
