Aztecs Overpowered

[Yesugey]

But why are you mentioning the Incas? They had no part in this.

You have your facts somewhat mixed up.

I choosed to avoid any details as possible, and give general info about invasion of Americas.

For example, i said Aztecs are not wise. They are not, but if you compare with Mayans and Incas. They had good technology and culture, but they appeared just 1300's, and most of their traditions were adopted. There is no way to tell they are wise and cultured, if you compare them with +3000 years old Mayan or Inca empires.

Also the blanket story is about Apacheans. (Thats why i said "Europeans" not Spaniards)

History geeks could find more gaps

In the Aztec army, status was derived from taking prisoners. Weapons were designed to wound and debilitate enemies without killing them, because almost every war the Aztecs participated in was a garland war. A large part of why so few Spaniards died was probably the fact that the Aztecs would try to drag them off rather than kill them in the field. The Spaniards had no such problem. They also had steel swords that could punch through Aztec armor and kill with one blow.

And although the effect of guns and horses was very real, the vast majority of Cortez's men were swordsmen. If I remember correctly, there were only about a dozen horses with them at the start of the expedition, and about as many guns and crossbows.

I just started using the forum and wanted to say something about old subjects. I like to put all information on one big post, instead of opening thousands of posts and force everyone to write same things over and over again.
I just cant understand why necro posts bugging people also. I even got a warning because of that.

And yes, Megas Methuselah dragged me to do that ^^

because , at least for me, i usually have subscriptions to any thread i post in, which means that if some year old thread i posted in gets reopened, than i get some stupid message telling me so, and than i see a post with an old argument i no longer care for.

in this case however, most people simply dont care to re-start a 2-year dead argument. anmd necroposting is just bad manners.

i think anything with necro- in it is negative. necro-pheliac, necro-mancer, necro-poster....
