Ihíio, Itlátol - An Offscreen Aztec Map Project

So instead, from 769AD to ~900AD you'd have Mayan rulers (and maybe the title would be localized as "Mayan Empire") and from ~900AD onwards you'd have Aztec ones.

But there was nothing to contact before the establishment of first trans-Atlantic contact with the first "strange boats sighted" event immediately preceding the Aztec invasion. I'd make the offmap power window only visible as soon as that event happened.

Huehuetlatoani. The Aztec Empire was really three states in an alliance, with a bunch of tributes. The kings of each of those states called themselves Huetlaoni. However, one of those states, Tenochtitlan, began elevating themselves over the rest, and they called their kings Huehuetlatoani. Tenochtitlan was specifically mentioned in events as the capital of the Aztecs, so this has evidently continued (happened earlier?) in the CK2-timeline.

Excan Tlahtoloyan. Literally means "Triple Alliance". One might argue that the CK2-Aztecs were much more centralised around Tenochtitlan, and a name reflecting that might be more appropriate, but I don't speak Nahuatl so Excan Tlahtoloyan will do for now.

Cuauhtlatoani. The historic title for the military governor of a conquered city-state. (meaning "he who speaks like the eagle")

As per @Brightgalrs: Tonalquizayan, meaning "the land/place where the sun rises"

Thanks for that, i'll add that

Terminology is the minor problem. In any moment this can be reworked. Also chinese empire, protectorates etc. aren't transliteration into latin letters, but pure english terms.

Most important are events, decisions, mechanics and artifacts. This will make mod a interesting.

Agreed, and i have already reasonable ideas for the basic features. The flavour part was the part I really was missing.

Some character data I have for Aztecs and related peoples (historical rulers of other states in the region could be used to fill the Aztec Empire's fictional earlier history):

Thanks for those.

Yeah, that's how i set it up. The initial event makes the button appear and activates the interactions for people on the west coast of europe and north africa. Then the invasion event happens mostly to people that have very low "grace" (if the empire is not expansionist. If it is, it can happen to anyone in range, with a higher weight for the low-grace people).

(if the empire is not expansionist. If it is, it can happen to anyone in range, with a higher weight for the low-grace people).

Shouldn't the empire always start out expansionist? That's the whole reason those ships were sighted in the first place.

 

[black_imperator]

It does start that way, yeah. But i'm not ruling out the possibility of a policy change before the actual invasion event triggers

 

[Keizer Harm]

At least, the Aztecs could have an increased chance of being expansionist, compared to China.

Any news?
