Cultural Settlement Aztecs

Join Moctezuma II in the 14th centuri aztec villages.
Help him gather resources to build up a new village, and he might share valuable wisdom and buildings with you.

Aztecs

Your goal with the Aztecs is to build up a new village and help Moctezuma. Similar to resources from previous settlements (Copper, Koban, and Deben) you will need to gather Cocoa Beans. Make sure to build residential and diplomacy buildings in your Settlement to produce enough Cocoa Beans. Complete the 20 quests from Moctezuma to claim your settlement reward! Before you begin, make sure to research the technology Colonies in the Colonial Age, to unlock the Cultural Settlements Aztecs.

Aztec Goods and Resources

For the Aztecs, you will need to gather new goods to progress, and you will also have new resources available to help you on your way: When you have collected enough resources, you're either able to unlock new buildings for the Aztec Settlements or expansions.

Aztecs	These are the equivalent to population in your main city. You need them to build certain buildings.
Diplomacy	Shows the amount of trust you have gained among the Aztecs. This is needed to unlock new buildings from this culture.
Cocoa beans	Cocoa is used to produce Cultural Goods and can be collected from residential buildings as well as some Diplomacy buildings. You start each Aztec Settlement with 5000 Cocoa Beans.
Maize	Aztec good, that is produced by a Maize Farm
Headdress	Aztec good, that is produced by a Quetzal Aviary
Stone figures	Aztec good, that is produced by a Stone carver
Vegetables	Aztec good, that is produced by a Vegetable garden

Daily Bonus

With the introduction of the Ancient Egypt Cultural Settlement, we introduced a cultural cost to roads in Egypt. With that, we also changed the amount of Cultural Currency at the start of the Settlement and a daily collection from your Embassy. This is the same for the Aztec settlement as well.

New Feature - Minigame

On the outskirts of your village stands an imposing Courtyard Market. Upon completing the first 6 quests, the Courtyard Market feature will be unlocked and it will serve as your entry-point to the minigame. Once per day, you can play up to three minigames and get the chance to earn additional goods for your settlement. You can always dismiss the minigame to potentially get something better the next day.

As soon as you open the Courtyard, you can choose one of the three available minigames and each one will show you how many goods you can possibly grab. Your goal is to find all the hidden rewards.

You will start with free turns, which you can spend by clicking in a covered tile to reveal it, and then it can reveal a reward, an empty tile that will uncover other empty tiles adjacent to it or a number indicating how many rewards are placed within their adjacent tiles (please keep in mind that these numbers will also count the rewards you have already collected). Finally, when you run out of turns, you will have three options:

• You can simply collect the rewards you found.
• You can double the amount of goods by paying a few diamonds through "boost outcome".
• Or you can buy more turns with diamonds to keep playing (unless you've already found every single reward).

HOW TO PLAY - BUTTONS DESCRIPTION

The minigame is a fixed size map with 77 tiles (height 7; width 11) and it's not mandatory for you to finish the Cultural Settlement, but it can help you to finish it faster, as it provides you with an additional resource to support your fast progress. Please note that the luck bonus (x4) does not apply to this minigame.

Impediments

Impediments are also present in the Aztecs settlement and they will restrict your building area, thus making each settlement a puzzle! Every time you start a new playthrough, those impediments will be rearranged, adding an extra layer of challenge to organizing the settlement. However, just like in the Egypt Settlement, impediments can be removed with pickaxes in the Aztecs settlement as well. Pickaxes can be found by completing the questline, or you can purchase up to five of them with diamonds. Once you have a pickaxe, open build mode, and click on the impediment you want to remove, then select if you want to use Diamonds for the removal or one of your stock from quests. Be careful, there are a limited number of pickaxes available for purchase and free in the questline.

Aztec Expansions

In the Aztec Cultural Settlement, Aztec expansions can be purchased with cultural goods or Diamonds. You can select what cultural good you would like to pay for any expansion and only one of the goods is needed per expansion.
