"And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." It was in the year 1204 AD, when God had forsaken us. When the Aztecs came to sate the thirst of their foul gods for the blood of the innocent. The Aztec's conquest was swift and brutal and their gods bestowed them with darkest blessings and berserker like fury for a tithe, paid in blood as they slaughtered their way through the Iberian Peninsula. When God decided to punish his wayward children with pestilence, ravaging friends and foes alike, it was almost a reprieve from the advancing hordes pressing into the faithful's heartlands. The Pope's most faithful mobilized new and innovative war machines to combat the coming hordes, but as with all hordes, there are always more warriors, eager to take their fallen brother's place. The sacking of the British isles at the hand of a break-a-way horde can only be considered a footnote at this point. On January 12th, 1370 AD at Rome the God's Faithful resolve to resist the onslaught was shattered together with the papal armies and what little resistance remained was sacrificed to the Aztecs ever so thirsty gods. Today, whatever remains free from direct control by the Aztec Empire pays a steep tithe in gold and blood. Some look to the east, trying to gain favor with the muslim heretic tribes, betraying their own god to kill another, others place their hope in the cold winters of the moscowiter realm to deter the hordes from advancing further. In these dark times, all hope seems lost. There is only war and the thirst of violent gods. Scriptor Joacino Da Gona, 1404 AD

I was just thinking when this episode would come to fruition. As a Native Mexican-American, I can now die happy. Thank you

I remember in Vanilla I was playing as the Moors and after I finished the campaign objectives I gave away a ton of territory in Europe to the Aztecs. I don’t remember anything happening, like the other factions didn’t interact with them, but I do remember they had stacks of Arquebusiers because they couldn’t spawn their own native troops in Europe.

The Aztecs are actually one of my favorite factions to play as in the game. Despite the lack of cavalry and things like catapults and trebuchets, I love how fast the infantry moves and how you can have them in such large numbers. Using them in human swarm tactics is always fun, and yeah, their ability to demoralize is OP.

High Priest: All the riches of this eastern world. All yours. For all eternity. Emperor: I gazed upon my new empire. And I see no chocolate.

It’s a really interesting scenario to think about. What if the Mayans or Aztecs were the ones to rapidly advance their civilization instead of the Greeks & Latins? What if this highly advanced Native American Empire of Mayans or Aztecs discovered & conquered Europe while it was still nothing more than petty Celtic tribes & Latin kingdoms? What would a world look like where Native Americans dominate the modern world both culturally & ethnically? We might’ve had some humanized form of Mesoamerican religion as the dominant faith in this world, rather than Christianity. Our language & writing system would likely be either a mix of european & native american style at best, & entirely replaced with Native American style at worst. Obviously architecture would look far different than it does in our timeline. Honestly, It’s depressing to see a civilization with so much potential be reduced to ruin by the Europeans. The Asians got lucky in that much of their culture is still more-or-less intact after all these years. But what would our world have been like if Christopher Columbus discovered Asia instead of the Americas? The world may never know, I guess.

Because in vanilla, Old World cavalry and troops all have 1 hit point each, only generals bodyguard have 2 hp. In the New World DLC campaign though, Spanish troops and cav (except militia) have 2hp, and their generals bodyguard have 3hp! to try to make a quantity vs quality balance

Lol, Aztecs would get fucked by any calvary charge, as they didn't have arms to counter calvary.

Nah, the stone age savages are WEAK, and have no advantages, unlike the mongols.

Ah yes, the famous Aztec-Papacy-Moors triple alliance I know from history

3:38 Now that's what I call a Sunset Invasion.

Just imagine how terrifying that would be. A massive armada of pagan warriors wearing jaguar skins just appears out of the endless sea one day. No one knows who they are or where they came from, and they immediately just start conquering everything in sight.

​@@abdouoftouggourttheconquer7241but now the sea people actually draw all the ways they will brutally murder the europeans

This move is known as "Reverse Cortés"

16:11 The Moors: “I’ve made a severe…and continuous lapse in my judgement.”

A disturbing fact about all this is that the Aztecs probably left the children of all the cities they destroyed alive, but not for mercy but to sacrifice them to Tlaloc when there were droughts.

I love rewatching your medieval videos, please keep doing them. They are amazing quality!

Honestly, even if the Aztec in this video never developed over-seas ships, imagine Conquistadors exploring this version of America and coming to find that the ENTIRE continent is ruled under one banner of a blood-thirsty tribe that wants to assimilate any other nation it finds

I guess Khorne likes the Aztec sacrifices

Damm Sunset invasion do be hitting different these days

Ah, the infamous sunset invasion, lovely.

As a mexican, i really love this video, i expect, one day, a video of warhammer 3 with skarbrand.

Time Traveler: *sneezes* The timeline: 3:56

En taro Adun! The Aztec generals' voices seriously sound like Protoss from the first StarCraft. Maybe the Aztecs are actually on a mission to cleanse the world from the Zerg.

Aztecs: Blood for the blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Man i never very much liked these kind of games, but your editing always makes them enjoyable. Even if I've no idea what the heck is going on

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on the platform; keep it up!

It`s like Sunset Invasion from CK2, but from Aztec poit of view. Great video, loved it! MED2 is my favourite Total War game, and I am glad you are doing these videos about it.

some of THE BEST content on youtube! You put so much work into these we all thank you!

When’s the Scottish experience with just WALLS OF PIKES I love Scotland’s campaign it’s an infantry heavy army with a lot of gimmicks and it’s fun to mess around with them plus you get can heavy pike militia earlier than most factions can get their heavy armored infantry giving them a bit of a power surge at start not to mention heavy like militia are still an A tier unit

I could never quite pull off the weird attack-wait dance required to make pikemen not suck

Who would win a modern society of the time with armor of metal and very experienced troops or some people cosplaying as animals with clubs?

The production quality is so high I can only imagine how much work is put into these videos. Thank you so much for making these 😃👍

I love that part where the Aztecs are just chilling while everyone across the Atlantic are killing each other lol.

The innacurate thing in this game that aztec stiil using clubs and cotton armor while aztec should actually adapt and start to use metal weapons and armor and horses right after they capture the first eouropean city.
