Mexica, by Stavros Megalos

Adventure ID = 165
Date Submitted = 2002-04-01

Author's Description:

Mexica (pronounced meh-SHEE-kah) is the name the Aztecs called themselves in their language, Nahuatl. This should be a fairly easy adventure with a few difficult tasks scattered in. Due to lack of space on the appropriate world map, Meso-america has been relocated onto the main island of Atlantis. All of the city names and many of the alliances are historically accurate, although the events are purely fictional. Although set in the city of Tenochtitlan, the adventure bears no resemblance to the adventure of that name previously downloaded to Zeus Heaven, although the city map does due to the requirements of historical accuracy.

Note to Zeus Heaven - I have included .pak and .txt files in the submission. You ask for a .sav file which is only appropriate for a completed city, I think. If you need other files from my adventure editor, please contact me asap. Thanks.

good game,but at the colony where there is not much room to
build, i lost my shrine to atlas due to a tidal wave,
But when i looked in my building menu it was not to find
back, so the mission could not be completed, and i had to use "Ambrosia"
to go on. hope to see more of your adventures.

My apologies for neglecting to place this wee warning in my adventure description. I have noticed when chatting with other Z/P players that many have the habit of sitting in an episode or colony for a long period intentionally not fulfilling one episode goal (often a 'set-aside') while amassing great amounts of money. This often lets them avoid elements of later episodes that are meant to be challenges.

In my adventures, I often allow what I hope to be a more than reasonable time for completion of each episode (usually double the time I think an average player should take), then begin to introduce events of increasing difficulty for the player such as invasions, god invasions, and disasters. These events are designed to convince the player to complete the episode and move on.

An annual save when playing Z/P is always recommended so that if an unexpected event comes about while playing, you can always return to a prior save and complete the episode before the event or make preparations to withstand it.

Enjoy!
