Rise of Quetzal TW mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Rise of Quetzal is a mod focused in the pre-hispanic Mesoamerica, timeframe 1400-1600, the mod add new religions, new buildings, new units and new 3d models for settlements in map campaign.

This mod relate some historical events who don't show in vanilla Americas campaign, the born of the Triple Alliance with the Aztec Empire replacing the powerful Maya Empire in the Yucatan penninsula who decline slowly and is divided with Lordships and Ethnic divisions in a permament war, the Tarascan Empire who fight with the Chichimec tribes and try to expand their lands to east, finaly the small independent kingdoms, tribes and lordships try to survive to Aztec expansion, Chichimec invasions, tribal Migrations, and the lethal jungle of Yucatan.

This mod make a deep rework of some factions of vanilla Americas campaign to represent the different cultures and beliefs of the different Kingdoms, Empires and Lordships, now some factions have a huge bonus in campaign to represent their nomadism life or religious organitzation, that include a rework of buildings, units, and agents. That includes the Spanish empire, which is more lethal and unstoppable than ever for the Mesoamerican factions, whether it is due to its strange diseases that kill thousands or its powerful military units and horrific gunpowder weapons.

The Rise of Quetzal add some new resources, obviously the exploration of the Conquistadores who made in the Mesoamerica discover some of them who actually are common in our mind, but before the landing in Mexico are totally strange, thats why the resoruces of Rise of Quetzal are reworked to adapt the native resources who trade Aztecs and Mayan peoples, the list of the resources are these:
Gold, Silver, Bronze, Obsidian, Corn, Beans, Potatoes, Exotic Spices, Peppers, Exotic Wood, Sacred Codex, Slaves, Gemstones, Tobacco, Chocolate, Jade, Pottery, Amber, Salt, Fish, Cotton, Textiles, and Pulque(sacred drink)





The mod include special resources like the Jungle Villages and Mayan Ruins who have some buildings related, scripts and special events incorporated to make the gameplay more interesting.

These special events are constructed to create a better inmersion of the player in the Mesoamerican cultures with their myths and legends, making a little fantastical touch for this events who permits the player explore the jungle with agents and generals to try to find and activate some events who show a piece of history of the mesoamerican culture, including sometimes a big treasure, additional special units, unique ancillaries and traits or "strange" events like "Lights in the Sky", "The Gates of Xilbaba","Giants of the Jungle" or "The Nahual", these "strange" events involve some misterious forces of the nature who can kill you or show powerful knowledges and items.
