and I THINK its about time we started acting and not talking. Enough with the leader think, lets focus on the FLOWER WARS beta. Our coders should start putting units ingame, even without skins. The historical reference for all mesoamerican units is ready, so is the historical little info on the civs and their tech trees. So start coding and we will discuss about who the leader is later. Meanwhile Rah can organise the whole thing, i guess he is the most suitable for this kind of task. So Rex will stay the leader of the mod, until he desides to quit, and Rah can be the chief supervisor of the FLOWER WARS beta. Fair enough? And now start coding if we want this thing to be ready by christmas

Im not sure about the demo being about the flower wars, because Total war is about conquest, but the flower wars werent conquest wars, they were religious wars, with arranged battles between the aztecs and their "enemies", to get prisoners to sacrifice to the gods. Mel, isnt there another mesoamerican period which contains historical battles?

Hi I'm Peruvian and I could really give you guys a hand with the historical stuff, specially in South America, I also know some about Central America. I happen to know Quechua and even a few words in Aymara.

before the Flower wars there was this period when the Mexica came down to Lake Texcoco where, in 1325, they founded the town of TENOCHTITLAN. In that time there was a little of the usual fighting and bloodseding. But i believe that Flower Wars is a more interesting name. Anyway we can call the demo, "the coming of the Mexica", or "blood around Lake Texcoco", or "Aztlan sons" but then the Maya werent originated from Aztlan, or "the serpent and the sun" because of the myth about how the Aztecs found the site for Tenochtitlan and the sun refering to all civs religion. Anyway, i think all in all "Flower Wars" is a very interesting name for the demo.

If anyone cares "Xochitl" is Nahuatl for flower thanks for contributing to this mod. If you want, there are some mesoamerican unit names in the unit list that need to be transferred from english to nahuatl. You could help at that area
