I know I said I like the things based off of Mesoamerican cultures more than those based off of African ones. I should probably be more clear. I really like the technological advances of those cultures. For example, the city of Tenochitlan with its pyramids, impressive irrigation systems, and farms built on the surface of the lake. Or the city of Chichen Itza with its incredible buildings lined up to coincide with astronomical events. Those civilizations were extremely advanced.

That being said, they were also extremely evil civilizations with human sacrifice, empires, and all sorts of horrible things. I don’t like those things. I would rather we emphasize the technological advances of those civilizations rather than their evil aspects. That’s just my opinion though.

I do agree... mostly. It would still be interesting to have hints towards the darker aspects of the culture, but as I kinda stated when putting the idea out there, blatantly saying they had human sacrifice, and having a buff-beacon type thing for it is a little extreme for this. Sure there's warfare, but its the european kind. The central/southern american warfare was very dark, and not many captives really survived to live real lives again. However there is the fact that it gets rid of the idea that all slavery was racially based. It was really only american(US specifically) and very late european.
