    I do want to say a huge thanks to Denishia and WhiteArchemage for stepping in with better knowledge than I had on the whole 'Cortez Vs. the Aztecs' situation. While I knew as a fact that it wasn't nearly as simple as 'the Aztecs were bad, then the Spanish came in and were better', it's also one of the parts of world history where my knowledge is so poor that the Civilization games are a significant percentage of my knowledge; I live very far away from that part of the world both geographically and culturally.

    My knowledge of colonialist history is rooted in being Australian. Ours is best described as 'worse than you expect, for longer than you'd think'; almost worse than the many acts committed against our First Nations people is the fact that people who were direct victims and perpetrators of that are still alive, it's not exactly distant history. Our story is much closer to Limsa than anything touched by Garlemald, though. (Which for the record means I actually quite like Limsa's recent stories!)
