    Default Fighting the Aztecs

    Well it was early in the 1400 when they decided the world was round and caravels could be built. I am playing as Scotland and taking my time. It still takes years to make the trip. The generals I have sent have all wound up with the trait of wall talking. On the first encounter I found them before I found Cuba. I attacked with a full stack less a general on that go, and lost. It was a good force too. Any way they ransomed the men back that they took and I ran off and found Cuba and North America.

    I came back with four fleets carrying almost full stacks and a couple of young generals…when I left. Once you go out into the open sea it takes 5 or more turns to get to there. (I didn't count)

    I went back with the massed armies and attacked again. I took it but it also took a full stack to garrison the place. When you move off to the south they have lots & lost of full stacks to meet you. It seems best to guard the gap in the mountains and try to gang up on single stacks as they come in. I hired like two dozen native mercenaries to help and that is not an exaggeration, but they are running out and they are still coming…

    Oh yes, when you load the boats don't leave home with out several spies…that’s jungle over there and Aztecs can hide….

    I don't know what all is down south just yet, saw some rebels but that was all thus far.

    I am sure that it is going to be a tough fight. They keep waisting my Temples and all my toughest infantry even though I win the battles I can't last for ever and Cuba has not started making units tough enough for this fight yet.

    I'll post back maybe if I survive...

    Any one else been there????
