❤ Gameplay Overview

The game challenges players to build and manage their own Aztec metropolis, guiding it from humble beginnings to an expansive empire. The gameplay focuses on resource management, urban planning, diplomacy, and military conquest, all within the unique cultural and historical context of the Aztec world.

❤ Detailed Simulation of Aztec City-State

Players must carefully manage the production and distribution of a wide range of goods and resources to keep the citizens happy and productive. Each citizen is individually simulated, with their own skills, needs, duties, faiths, moods, and daily routines.

❤ Emphasis on Symmetry and City Layout

Players must align, mirror, and balance the layout of the city's buildings, roads, and other structures to achieve perfect symmetry. Doing so pleases the Aztec gods, while disorderly city design can lead to negative consequences.

❤ Resource Management and Trading

Gathering and producing the necessary resources to sustain the city is a central challenge. Players must carefully manage their treasury, services, and infrastructure to ensure a steady flow of goods. Trading with other city-states and engaging in diplomacy also play an important role in the game's economic development.

❤ Military Conquest and Warfare

While not the sole focus, the military aspect of the game allows players to build and maintain a capable military force to defend against enemy raids and conquer rival city-states. The warfare system, while still a work in progress, enables players to engage in strategic battles and expand their influence across Mesoamerica.

❤ Immersion in Aztec Culture and Traditions

The game aims to deeply immerse players in the Aztec culture, history, and traditions. Players can engage with Aztec gods, festivals, the calendar system, and even participate in practices like human sacrifice. The incorporation of Nahuatl vocabulary, music, and hand-drawn art brings the Mesoamerican world to life.
