History VideoGame / AztecWars

** BearsAreBadNews: Russian war bears. They're fast and utterly devastating against infantry, but useless against buildings and vehicles.
** BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: A Chinese unit. Depicted as a sluggish, giant, yellow ape with a colorful club.
** PantheraAwesome: The Aztecs and their jaguars.
** WarElephants: The Chinese. They have cannons on their backs.
* ColorCodedArmies: Every unit has some kind of a bright-colored feature which changes color depending on the nation that controls it: for example, the swordsmen have colorful capes, the ninjas' entire uniforms change colors, and the yogins have differently-colored turbans. The silliest example is perhaps the Yeti; depending on which side it's fighting for, they give it a different, brightly painted club.

* HongKongDub: The Polish translation of the game, especially painfully visible in the intro, where everyone move their lips even when quiet, as if they were all chewing gum.

* IdleAnimation: Units keep looking around when idle, and have special animations such as the Musketeers dropping their weapons and hastily picking them up again.

* AlternateHistory
* AntiInfantry: Bears and jaguars.
* BeastOfBattle
** BearsAreBadNews: Russian bears, deadly against infrantry, helpless against buildings.
** BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: A Chinese unit. Has yellow fur, for some reason, and swings a colorful club around.

* ColorCodedArmies: Especially important due to you being able to [[EnemyExchangeProgram control units by other nations]]. The weirdest example is the Yeti's club, which changes color from a cheery blue to a bright red or bright green.

* DamageIsFire: The fire gets increasingly bigger as the building approaches destruction.
* EnemyExchangeProgram: In fact, some of your ''own'' units require buildings that can only be constructed by a different nation, requiring you to conquer their base.

* HeroUnit: One of the campaign missions gives you one of the characters, a badass Arabian, as an unit. HeroMustSurvive, of course.
* HongKongDub: The Polish translation of the game, especially painfully visible in the intro.
* HoppingMachine: The Aztec cannon.
* MarketBasedTitle: Renamed as ''Aztec Empire'', ''Die Azteken'' or ''The Aztec: True History Of Empire'' outside Russia.
* ModernMayincatecEmpire: One of the sides of the conflict.
* {{Ninja}}: A Chinese unit.
* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Only the Russes get one.
* PsychicPowers: Supposedly what the Yogas use to attack enemies with lightning.
* SpiderTank: The Aztec have two of these. One of them equipped with a flamethrower.
* {{Steampunk}}: The Russian and Chinese war machinery.

An obscure Russian RealTimeStrategy game from 1999 (but not released abroad until 2 years later), ''Aztec Wars'' takes place in an AlternateHistory where the Aztec empire has crossed the Atlantic sometime before being conquered by Europeans, and promptly conquered pretty much all of Europe and Africa, thanks to its armies composed of fireball-tossing priests, tamed jaguars and mechanical {{Spider Tank}}s, among other things. Standing against the Aztec are the Russ (the only nation with a campaign), with their war bears and axe-tossing tanks, as well as the army of China, helped by yogas with PsychicPowers, yetis, and a slew of ridiculously advanced {{Steampunk}} machinery.

[[WidgetSeries Yeah, it's that sort of game.]]

''Aztec Wars'' never really achieved a success, and was criticized for its simplicity compared to other RTS's of the time, as well as poor graphics. But it sure has some [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4165E0DB23EA9865 catchy music]].
