Ok, color me dumb or unobservant, your choice. I just noticed that Tlacopan has, like Tenochtitlan, had Blessings of God since the beginning and I had completely missed that, only noticing when I took a look at their infamy stats a while ago and then checked their history file. o No need to wonder anymore how they can afford those armies...
Hehe, eliminating potential jokes - that's what I aim for when I play!
Indeed it does. The sad thing about that is the fact that no matter what I do, there's still an element of luck involved...
Unfortunately, the ability to build ships is tied to tech group research speed so before I'm able to westernize I can't get any, ever. I believe the mechanism is hard-coded, and although MEIOU has tweaked the tech groups to allow shipbuilding for Africans with sufficient tech, New World still has no such luck.
I do in fact have sufficient tech: the units are technically available in the military screen for instance, I just can't build them.
I'm confident enough to accept the congrats at this point even though Aymara and Mapuche still do exist down south.
I was going to make the joke that the "blue on the edge of the map" was called Quito, but you've pre-empted that by annexing them.

Now the diplomatic game becomes even more important. How long before you could tech to the point you can build boats?

Huh, so the first goal has been achieved. South America is the nice shade of green. Congrats! Looking up North now....
