    No problem, been doing it since we introduced the world to indoor plumbing, penicillin, electricity and space travel.

        Shame they never leveled up the tech tree farther than that. It only took a handful of drunk conquistadors to wipe out the Aztec empire.

          It’s called History. Give it a try. Having a crazy amount of weapons did and didn’t help you before, so it won’t always give you the edge. History, though, always helps. By the way, this country is still called Mexico, which is a Nahuatl name, Nahuatl is also called “Mexicano”, which was the language most people talked before the “drunk conquistadores” came to this land. Maybe we Mexicans did leveled up the tech after all, it just looks like that for a childish country mentality.

            I will say the Aztecs got fucked partially because they abused the shit out of their neighbors who leapt at the chance for revenge.

            Nobody knew disease existed or what an immune system was.

            I’m also not Spanish or European or Italian so I don’t actually have skin in that game.
