Yes they were. They were declining themself.

I haven't read nothing about it, can you give me a link?

[EDIT]

Anyway, the Byzantines were also in decline and people made events for a possible survival just because is fun, and did not a Catholic Aztec Empire are too?

I don't have a link, read it in a swedish well-known newspaper of science, geography and history. According to it, the Azteks were pretty much killing their own culture, their population and all that.

And yes it is, I think it can be implemented.

I've also only read it in some kind of not quite scholarly journal (Beaver History Magazine maybe?) and I heard it in a lecture once as well. I'm fuzzy on the details but it had something to do with client states allying together against the centre as various different regions became more affluent. IIRC one reason the Spanish were able to conquer the Aztecs so quickly was that they were able to align themselves with the rebellious "vassals" and in some ways become the new regional power.
 
I have to ask for opinions here. I have decided to merge Timurid Empire and it's vassal, Chagatai Khanate as Timur took the Khanate instead of placing his puppets on the throne.

Q1. What name should it have?
1. Chagatai Khanate
2. Timurid Khanate
3. Timurid Empire

Q2. What CoA should it have?

1. The Chagatai one
2. The Timurid one
3. The Chagatai one, but with the red dots of the Timurid one.

:)
 
Timurid Empire / shield_TIM :D

The Empire was massive anyway, and would just have absorbed everything it conquered into it. It wouldn't have combined arms or had personal unions or anything. The Mongol Hordes will annihilate all :cool:

I don't know how is your (Central) American Setup (if exits any, or there are plans for one), but I fund a curiosity about the Aztecs.

If the Aztecs survived to the Spanish, they could may turn in to a Christian country, if this happens in the game, why not script events related to this?
I have a better idea, because its one that also probably will not be implemented in Interregnum. The huey-tlatoani of Texcoco, which was the cultural center of the entire lake texcoco region, was in the 1400s a very popular poet and philosopher (Nezahualcoyotl was the first one, and he had to fight against a man named pubes (Maxtla; I think that's what it means) for his throne. Nezahualcoyotl was very popular with the Texcoco population, and with their aid overthrew Maxtla and became the high speaker. He was, as I said, a popular poet and a philosopher--one of his favorite subjects, other than the inevitability of death and how temporary we walk the earth, was that of the Supreme God, Ometeotl (might have been another in the pantheon--this I am not too sure about, but I know he did write about such a being). Of course, in our world he did not solely write about such a being, and also included the rest of the Aztec pantheon. A religion shaped solely out of reverence for Ometeotl would probably have been dualistic, though not in a manichaean or zoroastrian fashion, but in a male-female duality.

That site name sounds a little...iffy, but it seems good enough of a description. In fact, its a very good one as far as I can tell. In fact, a reverence for Ometeotl could be expanded to a greek-gnostic meaning, depending on what Nezahualcoyotl believed about the nature of that which encompasses the earth, thirteen heavens, and nine hells and its creator of its creators (the tezcatlepoca), Ometeotl.
 
That in the 1470s the Aztecs have their religion changed to Hinduism, I guess. I'm not working on the game, just giving you my failed or unused suggestions from Interregnum.

For example?
Make the expansion of the Kingdom of Qosqo more historical. Though in Interregnum they will not be able to conquer Chimor, and the Aymaran kingdoms will lead a successful revolt away from Tawantinsuyu (land of the four corners of the world, what the Inca Empire actually called itself).
