I was wondering, the civ conquests are per definition SP challenges... so they'll go in this subforum right?
I'll not bore you with where you can build your cities, but cut right into the exploitive stuff.
1. Get magellan's voyage. Free frigates equal good times. Unfortunately, it looks like only the portugese have a productive capital...
2. Kill the aztecs. Somehow, the aztecs are weaker than the other indians. The iroquis are weak as well, but they'll expand really fast.
One thing: what does "flavor" mean in the editor? Does "flavor" meso-american mean that the European civs can't build meso-american improvements? Probably so... otherwise this scenario has a major flaw: research the ancient meso-american techs and build their wonders...
I'll get some maps and stories more later on, if anyone is interested...
