This is a fictional Aztec scenario I made. It is mostly B@D but it has a few fixed force elements in it as well. I did not have tons of time to test it because I wanted to get it submited and start work on the ES contest. Therefore there might be some bugs. I will most likely re submit it later on. Please e-mail me any suggestions, comments etc. Also some of the scenarios take a long time to finish so only download this if you like long scenarios.
Good campiagn until scenario 4 "The City of Gold". Wanna know why? THERE_IS_NO_WAY_OUT_OF_THE_PLACE_WHERE_YOU_START_IN_SCENARIO_4!

Nice campaign. Good and well rounded. Is this based on history?

This campaign is not horrible, but it barely passes as an average campaign.
The playability was poor, since it's pure B&D. Each scenario takes a lot of time and was basically like a random map, something that should be avoided in scenario designing. The score would've been much better if there were texts showing after the defeat of an enemy or if loots were found after the destruction of some buildings since it gives the player more gratification for defeating an enemy.
The balance was very good, since the whole campaign was pretty hard. However, in some chasing scenarios, it is quite difficult to find the base and when you do, you are already behind on the race. So, a full five is not deserved here.
There was a definite lack of creativity as the whole campaign are made with scenarios that gives you a towncenter and a town or one that gives you a big army in the beginning, which is not creative at all. Also, due to the B&D nature of this campaign, it is quite difficult to be "creative" (In my opinion anyway).
The map design was mediocre as all the scenarios were modified Yucatan maps with some eyecandy.
The story was lacking, as I cannot find a point in the whole campaign (and the bitmap in the first scenario, which was a big black block, did little to help). They were just a bunch of guys going around waging wars... However, the instructions were good so a 3 shall be given.
+ Points
- Good balance
- Points
- Plays like a random map
- Not very fun
Final Thoughts: This campaign is a pretty average campaign with some good points and a few bad points. So if you are the B&D type, I urge you to try this.

Hero: I have no idea what you are talking about.
Spitfire: Thanks, and no it is not based on history.
