Questions Regarding Acztaoc Empire and Question Regarding Cheat Menu
Hey, I just want to say that I'm really enjoying the mod so far aside from a few issues with bugs. However, I ahd a few questions about the Acztaoc Empire (I think I spelled that correctly).

I know they become hostile when you start a colony, but before then is there any possible way to join them? I've gone over and explored, and they're still neutral since I don't have any colonies. When I talk to the lords, it's in a language I don't understand and all I can do is give demands (to which they reply in perfect English :P ). Can I learn this language through a book or some other method? Can I join their faction?

Also, why is it that, even when I'm neutral to them, I can only sneak into the cities? Shouldn't I be able to walk around in them? Not only that, but are there any shops or taverns in these places? I can't go to the menu since I'm forced to sneak in, and I don't see any way to enter the castle in the city (since I'm in disguise), nor are there any shops or doors that let me go into a tavern or look at wares. Is this intended?

Finally, do you have any intention on adding the cheat menu? I know Native has a way to modify a few files to allow access to the cheat menu (let's you do things like change reputation, honor, renown, etc.), and I was hoping it would be added to this mod as an option. There are some pretty interesting things you can do with it to test out different aspects of the game/mod (I know one thing I like is the ability to go through a list of every item in the game), and the ability to increase relations with lords is really helpful, especially if I'm starting a new game and want to go straight to doing things like starting my own kingdom.

Speaking of armor, I find it funny that the troop tree for their faction has the green something wearing yellow armor, and the yellow something wearing green armor. :D

Not sure if the actual troops are also backwards or if it's just in the troop tree preview.

Well, you are not able to join the Acztaoc Empire even if you have high prestige, wealth and other factors that affect the chance of vassalage. In order to join them, you have to start your own kingdom. Afterwards you sent an emmisary asking for vassalage which grants the Quest of finding the faction leader of the Acztaoc Empire so you can swear homage to him.

While it is interesting to play as the Acztaoc Empire, I don't recommend it. There an interesting mechanic where you use cacao beans rather than gold. You can exchange gold for cacao beans but there a problem with it. If you have 800,000 florins then you won't get any cacao beans as you don't have enough "space". Because of this strange currency, paying for Acztaoc troops is free, so it sounds great. After swearing vassalage you can try doing quests from the Acztaoc Lord. But unfortunately it seems that aftering swearing homage to Acztaoc you crash.
