Historical Hegemon Series, 2002
Volume 12b, Maya Restored, the New Meso-American Hegemon
Prelude - K'iche No More
1 June, 1548 – Coffee in Antioquia
I break our alliance with Tzotzil.
7 Jan, 1549 – We convert Xocotla. My next target is Tepeceac.
1 Mar – Gems in Choca.
5 Oct –
Ready?
It’s time to reform our Faith!!!
Our Techs leaps to 8/8/7.
Time for a new set of ideas:
Expansion Ideas. I get the first one - +1 Colonists. I send them to Magdelena.
We are now a Republic!
I upgrade us to a Grand Republic
I have saved a lot of power waiting for this
We get Admin Tech 9,Dip tech 9 AND 10, and Mil 8 AND 9. I could have gotten another ADMIN Tech, but I wanted my Idea for another colonist instead.
That puts us a 9/10/10. England, for comparison, is 12/11/11.
I can now build navies, and as such, can colonize outside of the “next province over”. I pull my colonists in Choco, and send them to Cartagena, next to England and on the other side. Magdalena is next to it.
I finish a big Mission:
We are now the Mayans, we become an Empire!
We change our weak leader in an election for a 4/1/1 guy.
Let’s check in on my goals:
My Goals:
1. Expand quickly into a nearby and useful place to get us a powerful economic footprint moving forward. DONE
2. Get to 20 as mercilessly as possible, with as little time as needed. DONE
3. Run the first development, take the colonists, and cut my nation down to 10 ish. DONE
4. Colonize and retake those places to get back to 20. DONE
5. Repeat until I have fully evolved the Mayan faith. DONE
6. Westernize and evolve once Europe arrives. DONE
7. In the meantime expand into local areas south and take the entire region for the glory of Maya. DONE
8. Bring all of Maya under my control. Reclaim the Mayan dynasty. DONE (Save for one holding in Tsotzil, whom I am working to build up and take out).
9. Head north and west into those filthy Nahuatl lands and convert them after we bring them in to the true Mayan faith. Working on it.
10. Evolve into the most powerful hegemon here. DONE
11. Become the only remaining power in Central America. Working on it.
12. Expand up and down to keep out and meet any Europeans. Working on it.
13. Westernize. Not yet.
14. Kick out any Europeans that bother me overly much after Westernization. Not Yet.
