An Aztec little inconsistency

[Audoucet]

So, the immortal Philemon Al Ghul, is currently invading India from his power base in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile it's been more than a century, since Paris fell to the bloodthirsty Aztec.

What just happened is, I got the event of London being invaded by the Aztec Empire with sacrifices everywhere for the Aztec God. The ONLY little problem with that event is...

Yep, the current Aztec ruler is a Frankish Catholic ! XD

Heritage focus at work, mate.

Wow, they sure assimilated fast.

The conqueror becomes the conquered.

One part of me wants the Aztecs to stay the way they are and sacrifice everyone, while the other part of me wants them to adopt a local culture and convert. But the weirdness of seeing a "Charles IV Montezuma" who's Sunni just makes me ughhhhhh

Aztecs should be unable to culture-flip or religion-flip. Period.

It could make sense for Mongol invaders, but not for the Aztecs that are supposed to have a huge empire on the other side of the Atlantic, which they have no reason to diverge from.

It's like if Hernan Cortez and his conquistadors decided to abandon their catholic spanish ways to become Quetzalcoatl-worshipping Aztecs after they landed in America... Makes no sense.

The Mongols had a huge empire but still went native in China. Which was right next door from Mongolia...

I agree. The Aztecs are supposed to an empire that conquered many other nations in the americas, and they are supposed to be technologically superior. There should be no need for them, whatsoever, to convert.
Think back to the romans, surely they adopted various aspects of the barbarians they conquered, but they always thought that their culture was superior. So why should the Aztecs be different in that aspect.

Perhaps it should be like with the indians. Make it harder for aztecs to convert religion and culture, not impossibly hard, but much harder. Their religion should be reformed already, so that they could convert the provinzes they conquer more easily. Reason for that, the death and devastation their invasion brings depopulates the land and makes it easier for them to bring in their own colonists. Same with culture. Make it easier for them to convert other lands to their culture. The reason for this should be the same as with religion. I mean, an Aztec invasion is already as much fantasy as there can be. But the way it is now is just immersion breaking as hell, as well as illogical. A culture that probably thinks of it self as superior converts to the local culture of the lands they just conquered... Yeah, right...

On the other hand, since I don't think devs would bother to change the Aztecs, would it be possible to mod this?

IMHO, a good compromise would be to insta-convert all conquered territories to Aztec religion, in the first scripted waves. Culture, I don't agree though.
