So do you have a specific example of stuff you think is fake or incorrect that I've posted or no? I'm willing to address whatever it i

In fact, I recently compiled a 30+ page document with links to specific examples of surviving ruins or manuscript depictions of Aztec architecture, ruins and city planning elements from Tenochtitlan, or stuff from other civilizations with a similar architecture style of urban design elements etc which match and serve as the inspiration for a lot of artistic reconstructions I post, so chances are I already have specific stuff on hand.

Obviously, of course, I also already have pic related to show the ruins, manuscripts, and historical accounts the artwork on the right side of >>716281494 draws from, and I also link to and post a lot of examples of surviving ruins and the like here: arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/640239519/#640246635 which was the base I used for the new 30+ page version

You think the stuff in OP's pic is cooler then the examples of stuff on the right side of >>716281494 ?

I endorse this too, great curayzee action game and pretty well researched, if very, very stylized

See pic and >>716281494 . Authentic reconstructions are still kinda onsies, but I think they look better then how most depictions tend to butcher them. Keep in mind the "jaguar" spot design was generally a mosaic of (possibly iridescent) feathers, the helmet would have had metal and precious stone inlays, etc. Even the good reconstructions often also don't show them as bulky enough since the suits were worn over what was essentially padded gambeson armor

I'll respond to specific info more later, but tl;dr the idea the Mexica of the Aztec capital were super hated and that's why Cortes got allies is mostly wrong, see: desuarchive.org/his/thread/17671430/#17672875
