Aztec Empire
The Aztecs are a Mesoamerican civilization in the second and third phases. They originated from a single village in the first phase, which sought to expand quickly. However, this village was not Mesoamerican, but it did mark the beginning of the Aztec civilization.
The First Phase
Their role in the first phase is unknown. The Aztecs were one of the first empires to exist in all of the phases but were likely not powerful. However, this would change once the second phase came around.
The Second Phase
The Third Empire
The second phase would see the end of the 2 large nations of Toenataran and Boenoetica. However the Egyptains aswell as the Aztecs continued into the second phase. Here the Aztecs fought their first battles against the Egyptains. The Egyptains would be beaten by a huge flood in the desert they lived in.
From here the Aztecs would form their third empire. They sought to convert one huge jungle biome into one large city, known as Tikal. This was the first major city the Aztecs owned. The Aztecs never succeeded in completely converting the jungle biome into one city, but they did claim a lot of land. Using their large amount of territory and military power, they started conflicts in the area. They first attacked Japan, then attacked the Romans and Greeks aswell. The Japanese were the first to fall. In the meantime the Aztecs would also attack numerous other civilizations, like the Egyptains and Mongolians. The Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was said to be assassinated in the Greek city which had no name at the time. The Aztecs claimed responsibility. However, Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was seen a few years later ruling a fairly moderate Roman empire, implying that the Aztecs did in fact not assassinate him. The old Roman Empire would surrender next and the Greeks would capitulate a bit later aswell.
The Greek & Roman defeat lead to the Greeks & Romans fleeing to a Norse city and claiming it for themselves. They would enslave the inhabitants and treat them poorly. The Norse Empire was deeply offended, and declared war on the Greeks & Romans and would constantly attack them. Following this the Norse Empire signed an alliance with the Aztec empire. After a long time fighting, the Norse empire claimed victory and the Romans & Greeks had to flee again, to which the Greeks were deemed destroyed. The Aztec goal was complete, they defeated their enemies. They then claimed the Norse city for themselves, angering the Norse Empire. The Aztec military would then attack the Norse empire in an attempt to show their power to the world. The Norse empire retreated and the whole area was conquered by the Aztecs.
In the meantime the Mongolian empire copied Aztec house designs. The Aztecs disliked this a lot and followed that with attacking and eventually defeating the Mongolians, making the Mongolians flee to another area. The Aztecs would then attack the large Egyptain empire which had been building up for a large battle against the Aztecs. The major Egyptain city "Anubis" would be under attack by Aztecs, however, the Egyptains managed to defend this well. The Aztecs then did not attack the Egyptains anymore for the time being.
The Fourth Empire
Following the Aztec defeat in Anubis, the Aztecs sought new land to settle on. They found a large jungle biome aswell as a large mesa biome. They would settle in those 2 large biomes, aswell as in some other areas close these biomes.
They would settle the following cities in the jungle:
- Tenochtitlan
- Aztlan
- Tollan
- Tlacopan
- Tlatelolco
- Azcapotzalco
- Teohuacan
They would also settle the following cities in the mesa biome:
- Chalchuapa
- Huexotla
- Tepuzlan
- Tecoxquin
- Yaxohilan
- Tlaxcala
- Tlazopochtli
- Tonochlan
- Teocalli
- Tepehua
The Aztecs also settled the following cities in other biomes:
- Atzacoalco
- Teothihuacan
- Tenutochtli
- Meztli (possibly a Mayan city and not Aztec)
Wars
The large amount of cities made the Aztecs even more powerful, also still owning its old city Tikal, however, Tikal would be attacked by Greeks, Romans, Japanese and Egyptain armies. The Aztec armies defended Tikal well but eventually were defeated by the much larger Greek, Roman, Japanese and Egyptain armies. The Aztecs were then revealed to let Tikal be taken, to then make it look like the Aztecs were near extinct and weak. They did this well as no one knew the fourth Aztec empire existed. The Aztecs would then be suprised by a humongous Mongolian empire to the east of the fourth Aztec empire. The Mongolians sought revenge for their early demise caused by the Aztecs. A war started, however, this one would never end. Due to the large area the Mongolians lived in, including Desert, Savannah and Plains biomes, the Aztecs understood they could not conquer the Mongolian empire easily. Having close ties with the Maya's, they asked the Mayas to create a new phase, where only Aztecs could go through. The Mayas agreed, and let the second phase end with their large temple
The large Mayan temple was a typical mesoamerican temple with a large golden circle on top, standing vertically. It started to shine and marked the end of the second phase. The whole world erupted in flames. The Aztecs opened a portal in Tenochtitlan, and were the first to arrive in the third phase. However the Aztec plan failed as more empires escaped the second phase, the first being the Mongolians, followed by Egyptains, Greeks, Romans, Mayas, Incas and many more empires.
