Blood Brothers - An Aztec Death & Taxes

**el_zilcho321** · 01-10-2011 09:20

Hello everybody. I have decided to do an AAR. I chose to play it in D&T because I think it deserves a lot more credit than it already has. It is an awesome mod which is really fun to play, and its very active so it will keep growing. It includes the American Empires mod which I will be utilising a lot.
American Empires
Death & Taxes

An update will be coming very soon, please be aware this is my first time playing a new world country since EU3 vanilla and I might stumble a bit.

There will be peace, there will be war, there will be blood.

The Aztec Empire, 1399:

*I know it says 1409 or something but no borders have changed.

It's the green spot. At the left, you see it? Good.

I start off by deciding the decision, "Do human sacrifices." The main premises of which is to lower public order. I also raise auto send merchants to green on my province, Mexico. I will use my magistrates to get cultural tradition, and to hire out government advisers so I can get a National Idea soon.

Here's a more in depth view of my local area.

My first mission is to get access to the sea, to do this I attack the small kingdom bordering my south. Unfortunately one of my allies takes a province leaving me with the capital, as I cannot demand the capital I make the nation a vassal instead.

In the next few years I received my first colonist. I try to attack the natives but what I assume must have something to do with D&T I can not attack them, this is not bad though as you will see later.

10 years after having vassalised the Yopi kingdom I integrate them into my kingdom therefore getting access to the sea.

A cool new event (from the mod) fired for the colony, and does every now and again, reduces native aggressiveness and ferocity and has a chance of raising the base tax.

I go to war and vassalise the Tlaxcla kingdom, near my new colony.

The great thing about vassals in the mod is I often get events where the vassal tributes me and I get gold. I forgot to get screenies though.

I forgot to get screenies of the rest. So... I colonized a sea province to the south and went to war with the eastern tribe and gained a province from them.

Thanks for reading!

Looks promising, will follow

**Rabid** · 02-10-2011 10:00

I've been playing D&T lately, it's a pretty fun mod and I like the map a lot

Aztecs are an interesting choice so good luck!

The inability to attack natives is presumably a problem with the new provinces not being in natives.txt. It should be fixed soon.

**Selvetrica** · 06-10-2011 02:50

ill keep reading

**BootOnFace** · 06-10-2011 11:17

I've been staying away from Death and Taxes because of the ugly map, but maybe after reading an AAR about it I'll get used to it.

**Aygar** · 06-10-2011 13:36

inspired by this AAR i recently completed a Michoacan>Aztec>Mexico game, and it was really awesome.
So please continue with this, it could be a great AAR

What don't you like about the map?

**tamius23** · 06-10-2011 23:45

I'll follow this, though I have no experience with mods for EU3.

Your pictures are a bit weird. You seem to have "integrating Yopi" duplicated and one which I suppose is a map is missing completely...

I changed the integrating Yopi one, all the others seem to work fine for me.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

**tamius23** · 07-10-2011 17:59

Ah, it all seems to be fixed now. Good stuff.

**el_zilcho321** · 14-10-2011 23:03

Welcome back people, sorry for the wait.

1427 - a cool event stopping my vassalisation with tlaxcla and giving me a core on them, you can guess what happens next. OPM + me = nomnomnom

1430 - I colonise a little province by sea.

Soon after I declare war on Tlaxcla, I think I had a truce with them.

War:

I get it, not a hard fight.

I get a core event on a northern tribe and promptly annex them.

A little event getting rid of my leader, although he was good.

I vassalize a western tribe:

I vassalize a northern tribe.

So I have missed out a lot of important screenies but I got to temple level in govt, fort + barracks in land tech, I integrated the northern tribe and colonised a rich province up north:

I would have chosen the idea that gets me extra colonists, but I need more naval + trade tech so I got the extra tax one for now.

I intergrate the western tribe leaving me with a (newly formed) Maya as a neighbour.

I get a mission to conquer teotilan so... I conquer it.

A cliffhangar:

Until next time, keep safe and remember: keep sacrificing humans!

Native Americans are always fun.

First time I'll be properly following a D&T AAR, looks interesting so far.

**Range** · 16-10-2011 03:26

Great...I'm really enjoying your AAR. Keep it up.

**el_zilcho321** · 25-10-2011 13:18

Sorry I haven't had an update lately, it was my birthday on the weekend so I was mainly going around visiting family. I will definitely do an update by the end of tomorrow, if I don't you can take away all of my virtual cookies.

**homy_dog34** · 26-10-2011 01:21

Happy birthday!
Really liking this one. Hope you can survive the Europeans!

**el_zilcho321** · 26-10-2011 23:01

Welcome back my friends!

If you recall, last time I left you with a glimpse of a coming war

Not to worry! AI is easy to beat, especially when they have no military maintenance!

I peace them for money and removal of cores, I did not take any land because I dont want to take the 4 BB.

I get the mission to vassalize Huastec, allied with Maya, so I DOW.

I win, vassalize them and ask Maya to realease another tribe.

I get a lovely event again, giving me cores on all of Huastec, dropping our relations and cancelling his vassalship and alliance.

Suprisingly, I win (Maya did not join this time) and annex them all up!

I get a mission to take one of Mayas provinces so I.... guess what?

Yes, I take it AND I release another tribe.

That tribe calls me into a war with Cozumel.

And I split Cozumel up!

I take an innovative step and am now in a position to westernize, I am just waiting for some clever Europeans.

I get another conquest mission on Maya and finish them off.

All the meanwhile I am colonizing to the north. Here is my empire at the end of this seesion (1495):

Is still haven't met any Europeans, they're 3 years past schedule!

**homy_dog34** · 26-10-2011 23:13

Wow nice job!
I never really have the patience to do a tribal game, but you are doing very well.

**Range** · 27-10-2011 04:02

I've tried playing a native North American tribe, with no success. But, you're doing great. Keep it up.
