Tikal is a Mesoamerican city, created in the second phase, and then rebuilt in the third phase.

History

The Second Phase

In the Second Phase, Tikal is one of the largest cities in the world, possibly the largest. Tikal at the time was the Aztec capital of the third Aztec Empire. However, once the Aztec empire formed the fourth Aztec Empire, Tikal was no longer the capital. Instead the also quite large city, Tenochtitlan, became the new capital of the Aztecs. Following the formation of the fourth Aztec empire, the Aztecs made a plan to make all nations believe the Aztecs longer existed. Tikal would be defended poorly by the Aztecs, making it fall into Egyptain, Greek, Roman and Japanese hands. The plan worked and Tikal was conquered by the Egyptains, Romans and Greeks. The Japanese eventually retreated before fully annexing Tikal. After this, Tikal would be abandoned. Tikal inhabitants would be tortured mostly by the Egyptains. Montezuma II officially moved the capital to Tenochtitlan.

The Third Phase

After having a small role in the Second Phase, the Mayas entered the Third Phase much more powerful. They helped the Aztecs end the second phase and therefore were allowed a large empire by the Aztecs. The Mayas built their new capital, Tikal.
