Instead of embarking on a diplomatic mission or sending a friendly messenger, Montezuma decided that a violent expedition was the best course of action. How thoughtful of her to keep her word.Ī long time ago, the city-state of Coixtlahuaca apparently wasn’t showing Aztec merchants the respect they deserved. “I warned you that I would quench your thirst for blood, and so I shall,” she spoke menacingly. She crucified his corpse, beheaded him, and shoved his head into a wineskin filled with human blood. After the battle, she called for the dead body of Cyrus to be brought before her. When their forces met, Tomyris and her army defeated the Persians with high casualties. When Cyrus the Great captured Spargapises, the son of Tomyris, he should have known she’d come after him with a vengeance. The stone was then burned and pulverized. He sent an imperial secretary to investigate the situation, but when no one confessed to the inscription, everyone in the area was put to death. It’s no surprise that Qin Shi Huang wasn’t enthused when he heard about this. On the stone, an unknown person inscribed a prophecy which spoke of the Emperor’s death and his land becoming divided.

Each civilization has access to its own unique ability, unit, and building, district, or tile improvement. To discover this hidden agenda, players must obtain greater diplomatic access with that civilization (for instance, by establishing an embassy in their capital).Ĭivilizations also have their own unique characteristics, but these are shared across all leaders of that civilization. In addition to the regular agenda each leader has, each also starts a game with one "hidden agenda," a second, randomized guideline it follows which determines whether or not it likes or dislikes other civilizations. Some leaders even have their own exclusive units that are not (and will not be) available to other leaders of the same civilization. This means that each leader, even those from the same civilization play differently and react differently if played against. Each leader has their own exclusive ability and agenda that no other leader shares, including the two different Greek leaders.
