A Barbaric Pagan World

[Aqualung71]

The earth trembles and quakes with fear, as we are taken back to the time of

Cuitalahuac, the Merciless Aztec Woman-Splitter, and

Pacal, the Bloodthirsty Mayan Slave-Eater

With intruders on our continent from the strange and far-away societies of India, Celtania and the Zulu, together with raging barbarians to assist them, we call upon the gods of war to deliver us from these evil people.

World: Pangea
Size: Tiny
Water: 60%
Temp: Warm
Climate: Wet
Age: 3 billion
Barbs: Raging

Civs:
Aqualung: Aztecs
Paddy: Maya
AI: India, Celts and Zulu :scared:

Let our Pagan gods allow us to prevail over these barbaric.....errrr.....pagans :hmmm:
