However, the Aztec referred to himself as Mexica (IPA [meˈʃihkah], SAMPA [me"Sihkah]) or Tenochca. Ditto with the Aztecs. Still, looking forward to this mod. We need a mod in Mesoamerica. :)

I know about Tawantisuyu (that is "The Four Quarters") and the name will be used here and there (Tawantisuyu "Imperial" troop types). As for the Mexica/Aztec thing, I know about it as well only that probably if I put Mexica on the list, there'd be all those people saying I forgot one of the major players etc. Name Aztec creates no confusion, but yes I am going to use Quechua, Nahuatl as well as names in other indigenous Mesoamerican languages. Still, not everyone is a specialist on Pre-columbian empires and so the names for the discussed factions will most likely remain Inca and Aztec.

The supernatural creatures are for now an idea that can wait, but should they appear in this mod they would be very few in numbers (but yes-very powerfull).

The map will be a thing to think over, because I want it to go from Mexico to Chile but don't want to make it wide and short, rather in proportions of vanilla RTW map (kinda same rectangular shape I mean).

Thank you all for your feedback.

ill help out with the campaign map and units if you need it

The map I can do myself, but you could help me with the units.
Can you model, skin them?

I'm currently more busy with P&M, but that's because there are certain things there to finish. Soon I will have enough time to do something Mesoamerican, and the first thing will be map and unit rosters for all factions.

I have some interesting ideas concerning the gameplay and senate's missions, you'll see later.

I've received several PMs from people who want(ed?) to help, and what I want to say it that if anyone wants to help me making Mesoamerican, you can write here, straight up!
