Why isn't there a Red Dead Redemption-style game set in the New World in the Age of Discovery (15th-16th century)? Would you like one? Would it even work?
>>

I think some sort of Souls-like would fit better given the setting. I've actually been thinking about stuff like that, since I recently went to Lima and saw some Colonial-Era Spanish architecture and art.

That kind of ambientation would be better for an AC.

It was more euros bringing their filthy diseases than actual genocide

The Spaniards didn't have a policy of genocide though, most natives actually died from disease (around 90%). What the Conquerors actually did was to either enslave them or treat them as second-class citizens. There was also a lot of race mixing because they usually took native wives.

The popular term these days is "cultural genocide" which is more accurate since the Spanish tried to erase as much of the local cultures as possible, destroying temples and forbidding people from practicing their own religions and rituals.

You need to ask? Their colonial policy was basically to plunder everything they found valuable, while also treating the locals like complete shit (if you weren't born in Spain you were a second-class citizen).

Although we don't hate the Spaniards that much, we had to hate them during the independence wars because that was necessary for the revolution to happen, but there is still a lot of admiration towards Spanish culture. But it's a very troubled legacy.

You can't really hate them because they never fucked you over as bad as bad as the U.S. did their native americans. Though no reason to be friendly either. Best to just let bygones be bygones in this case as there are more pressing issues.

Well yeah. Don't know about you hispanics but BRs have zero native influence on their culture. It's 99% european identity with some black culture for hipsters. I assume it's the same with you.
>>
The Spanish exploration and conquest of the Americas are just nor PC. You cannot shoe-horn a black conquistador, you cannot make a conquistador transgender, you cannot make a conquistador a woman, and you cannot make a conquistador some necrobestialotherfutanariloligen-kin. White people going into a brand new world filled to the brim with wonders, dangerous savages, and the constant feel of adventure and excitement of going into the unknown with nothing but your friends and a gun to chart new lands and get rich while you're at it does not fit the narrative. Devs want games to be art and recreating the Spanish conquest while the player is a Spaniard in a historical accurate setting will get boo-ed at and "critics" will say this is why games will never be art. It is the fear of PC culture and not being respected is what is not letting people who are generally interested in time period and setting unable to explore it.

Point me native influence in the overall culture besides simply naming streets and buildings with native names.

Sure, there's some native influence on the jungle, but you gotta remember most of the population lives near the shore, so jungle people are a minority.

Still we were the only ones fucking the locals and sharing our customs with them and not erradicating them or putting them in apartheids. Look at the native americans or the australian abos, cause you are worlds apart from them.

It's funny how we still have the Leyenda Negra over our heads cause we spared the natives lives while anglos erradicated almost to the extinction all natives and nobody throws shit at them. Well, I guess that's because the scarce survivors of the anglos colonization don't have a fucking voice in their respective societies and are a minority of outcasts in their own lands.

It's more complicated than that. The amount of inter-mixing was very significant and there was a lot of different strains involved, including Jews, Asians, Blacks and in some cases other Europeans like the French and the Italians. Latin America is very ethnically diverse and a lot of people identify themselves as white even if their skin is dark as fuck.

Yeah, how dare the Spanish try to keep blood-matted papas from sacrificing people to their idols and selling their arms and legs in butcher shops. Why couldn't they have just respected their unique and beautiful religious beliefs?

It's an absolutely stunning story - the Spanish arrive to trade in friendship with the native people of Mexico, and they are constantly attacked by natives who pretend friendship but lead them into ambushes. In every town they visit they see people in cages waiting to be sacrificed on bloody altars, butchered and then eaten. Moctezuma sacrifices seven people a day to his war god praying for advice on how to dispose of them. Caziques from nearby towns are constantly coming to the Spanish to complain about the Mexican's cruelty, even though it would mean their destruction if the Spanish were defeated. And somehow, today the Spanish are supposed to be the bad guys.

Demolishing some idols and setting up a cross and an icon of Mary on the old altars is nothing. So yeah, I'm fucking implying that the Spanish were better. All the towns that allied themselves with the Spanish against Mexico certainly fucking thought so.

This. The besieging force on Tenochtitlan was almost entirely made of native soldiers. The Aztecs were fucking brutal to the point where natives were willing to side with complete strangers in order to oust them.

If Portuguese are niggers then so are the Spanish, they are the same but with different cultures.

The Aztecs rulers were also crazy religious fanatics, during the later stages of the war they would rather hide in their own temples sacrificing their own blood to the Gods rather than defend from the invaders.

No, because we thought it would be good for us. At least our motives weren't retarded. Brutal, yes. Greedy, yes. But not as stupid as thinking an eclipse means we need to wipe out a farming community because the Sun is mad.

Plus the people you sacrificed were slaves that you took from conquered people. So don't act superior. Don't even act like you were equal to the Medieval Europeans. Europe might have been slave owners, but you were slave owning MORONS.

>>339870489
>Are you really suggested wars never happened in the Americas?

Of course wars happened, although the history has been mostly been forgotten due to the Spaniards destroying most of the records.

The point is that people back then were insanely violent all over the world. Christians and Muslims pretended to be morally superior but they tended to commit all sorts of massacres.

I've had my fill of abos too, anon. The smell alone is enough to make me puke. But you also have to realize how absolutely fucked over they were by the Aussies, to a much higher degree than any American minority has been oppressed. I get why integrating into society is rough for them.

The Spanish compiled the single biggest resource on the Aztecs, using actual Aztec codices as the source.

Look up the Florentine Codex. If the Spanish wanted to be seen as the "good guys", they wouldn't have left in all the passages about spreading smallpox.

That is why it is more open in one direction than the other. So it benefits China. It benefits you if people want to buy the shit you make but not so much if you are buying what they make but it depends on the balance. You want more buying your shit than you are of theirs.

No what "fucked" Africa is a lack of integration.

Compare the Botswana and Zimbabwe for example. One blossomed because they accepted what was left behind post empire, and the other resisted it, and is now one of the worst countries in the world (and we are not talking subjectively here, it's bottom or near bottom of every index and statistical chart)

What do you think happens when a country's borders aren't allowed to develop naturally, along culturally-defined areas? Cultural identity is the most important kind of space that defines a nation - but instead, we ended up with borders drawn according to the layout of railroads built by European colonials in the 1800s. And now these cultural groups are spread apart and dispersed, waging civil wars in a desperate, futile attempt to re-draw those borders.

Look at the middle east. Look at the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire. Why do you think so many different groups of people are slaughtering each other over there? There are 35 million Kurds, yet they have no nation of their own. Borders and countries weren't given the opportunity to develop naturally along these cultural lines. You can thank The British Empire for it.

Just a correction buddy, it was against the Aztec Empire, not Mexico. Mexico came to be almost 300 years later. Everything else you said is correct.
