@Iconian I think you are actually incorrect there. Yes, the Incans were powerful, but their conquests had started to stagnate by the time the European diseases came around, so I don't think there is much more Conquering they would have done, but they would have stayed with their massive empire, and their population would increase vastly. Given another 30 years and no disease or civil war, the incans would be one of the most powerful countries in the world. In 1500 they had a population surpassing the ottoman empire even.

As a pretty much exclusively Inca player I just have to say, awesome comment Pachacuti! Had it not been for Columbus and the conquistadors I think the Inca may have conquered the New World.

Sorry, but we where just too awesome in real life and the developers wanted to make the game realistic.
