Lol what a terrible game, balance? No such thing.
"Patch #1 X is overpowered" "Patch #2 X is nerfed to shit, and Y is now untouchable" "Patch #3 X and Y are now nerfed, but X is rebuffed to playable levels" "Patch #4 X and Y are tweaked more, and now Z is overpowered." | ||

This entire thread is about Native American influence on American (and other) cultures. Please feel free to take your idiot trolling elsewhere.

Basically on the subject of the Aztec civilization, they were a bloodthirsty, expansionistic feudal empire. Give it another century or two and the Aztecs would have consolidated their hold on central America and would have abosrbed or come into conflict with the southern cities (i doubt they would have expanded north, as there was nothing but nomadic tribes up there).They were no better or worse morally than any Carthaginian city that sacrificed people to Bel Marduk, or Celtic druids sacrificing young maidens, or an Indian untouchable being ostracized, or a Japanese warrior commiting suicide, or any of the other hundreds of instances of sacrifice for religion/culture recorded in history.

damn no edit button, but anyways, the war the Aztecs did were as much for religion as the frigging Crusades were. i.e: an excuse.Do you really think the Aztecs did not prize jade, jewels, gold, animal skins, cloth, agricultural goods, etc? Most of their wealth came for tribute...tribute they had won through wars. The sacrifices were but a convenient way for rulers to mantain that tribute, by fear. How is that any worse than razing down a village to the ground, raping the women, spitting babies on spears, because they refused to pay taxes to their rightfull liege?

Yay, eqdruid caught my reference.
I'm pretty sure I had the right answer too. *pseudo-scientific description of why the Native Americans had exactly threeve influence on American culture* P.S. I glanced through, someone was like "well America's democratic, some natives had democracy yay!" ....Greeks..... . . . . . . . similarity DNE influence.
