But the battle isn't historical as well as the landscape is wrong too ....

Agree.

Four historical battle videos in some days.
Well, its starting to be fun to wait for M2TW.
Not like these times some months ago when the only
new info in a whole week would be a blog or some screens.

Not flaming here, im totally fine with that.

The macuahuitl (or maquahuitl) was an Aztec obsidian-edged sword-club. It served both as an edged weapon (due to its obsidian blades) and an impact weapon (due to its stout hardwood body). The macuahuitl was also self sharpening. It was capable of easily cleaving to bone. According to Spanish conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo, it was also capable of decapitating a horse. wiki..

Bonus Vs. calvary?

Battle of Otomba is indeed a historical battle

[Titus]

[Matty_P]

eheheheheh!

[Fianóglach]

I found myself admiring the landscape as much as the impressive Aztec army, can't wait to try my hand at playing the Spanish in this battle.

Battle of Otomba is indeed a historical battle

It is indeed a historical battle, a big win for the Spanish.

Btw, it's Otumba.

[Matty_P]

a big win for the Spanish

duh. it's almost sad what happened to the Aztecs. They were utterly destroyed, their armies and skill at arms totally negated by lack of technology.

[Sephynos]

Nice vidz!!

[PROMETHEUS ts]

Battle of Otomba is indeed a historical battle

Not sying it didnt happened , just saying didnt go like it looks in the representation ....

[Matty_P]

yeah, i doubt the spanish were shaking in their boots with fear of the terribly short amerindians with sticks and stones.

The battle on the Plains of Otuma changed the war in Cortez's favour. If the Aztecs had waited and not launched a frontal attack in the day on flat ground they could have destroyed the Spanish expedition.
