Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* EvilGloating: Moctezuma is prone to this, even if you ally with him. If you lose the final battle against him, he takes it UpToEleven.

** Many Spanish soldiers are shown wearing the morion helmet. Despite its popular association with conquistadors, it was not used in Mexico until well after Cortez had conquered the Aztec Empire -- it was only the later conquistadors, such as Coronado and de Soto, who supplied them to their men in the 1540s.

Bald Of Awesome has been renamed and redefined per TRS decision


* BaldOfAwesome[=/=]BaldOfEvil: Depending on how you view Esteban Gallego, the rebel against the Hispaniolan government. According to Manzanado and Noriega, he is merely working out of greed and lust for power, according to him fighting for the liberty of the Tainos. Regardless, he's got quite a shiny dome.

** RetiredMonster: Getting that 50,000 gold requires to left no dog unkicked and no crisis exploited. It is flat-out impossible to get that much money on any higher difficulty than the easiest one without sacking villages, gunning down your way through any resistance and looting graves, while often forcing your expedition to go on empty stomach, as everyone is busy guarding that huge pile of gold rather than hunting for food.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: Several of the conquistadors feature this. Esteban Gallego deserves a special mention.



* RetiredBadass / RetiredMonster: The Mexico Campaign ends when you decide to sail back to Spain. After you do this, you will get a nice estate on a hill. If your expedition returns with 50,000 gold or more, you will get rewarded with huge swaths of land near the Capitol AND all your team members will also get land and title.

Added DiffLines:

* ArbitraryHeadcountLimit: You can never field more than six characters in a single battle, even when it makes no logical sense, such as when you're defending your fort. The computer has no such limitations, however, and will regularly outnumber you, sometimes fielding 12 or even more characters.


Added DiffLines:

* StoneWall: The Soldier class has the greatest defensive capabilities in the game, and can also wear the most armour, making them even harder to hurt. Their abilities are all defence-oriented, as well: one makes them forego their attack for increased defence, another protects adjacent allies, and the last one stuns an opponent, making them lose their turn and giving you time to reposition without provoking attacks of opportunity. Soldiers armed with shields also have a chance to further reduce incoming damage.

Added DiffLines:

* WarriorPrince: The Aztec emperor Moctezuma is a mighty warrior in his own right.
* WeakBossStrongUnderlings: Unlike Moctezuma, Tepictoton, the ruler of the Totonac, is far weaker than his guards -- the game treats him as a mere Civilian, meaning he has pathetic stats and equipment, no special skills, and will usually try to run and hide rather than fighting.

Good Adultery Bad Adultery now requires two affairs, one presented as 'good' and one 'bad'


* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: In the beginning of the Mexico Campaign, you have the option of marrying a native. Later on, you have the option of starting a romantic relationship with a different native. If you accept and you're already married, than your spouse will lose one moral point. While this might seem like a lot, if your spouse has high moral than it will have no affect. As one comment said,[[http://www.gog.com/forum/expeditions_conquistador/marriage_minor_spoilers "This is totally insignificant in my case because she dropped from Devoted (22) to devoted (21)."]] This means that your spouse is only slightly annoyed by your adultery.

* ShoutOut: The tavern of the stronghold is called [[VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland "El Pollo Diablo"]]. Also, the Temple of Death featured in Mexico is filled with ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' style deathtraps, and the achievement for completing it is called [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Raiders Of The Lost Temple]]. Arguably the ship in the tree is a one to ''Film/AguirreTheWrathOfGod'' and one of the Surnames you can pick during the character creation is Aguirre.

* CycleOfHurting: Surviving missions/having a string of bad luck/making poor decisions where your best people are incapacitated, leaving you still going but with several days of recovery time at best before they can do their jobs again. This can leave you without your best hunters/soldiers/scouts, which in turn leaves you open to food shortages or lack of guards. Lack of Guards leaves you open for a night ambush, which are hard enough when your best people can respond, but are downright brutal, if not impossible when it's whoever is available with daggers against a fully armed band of raiders at night, and if you manage to survive that, you likely have even more people with injuries that need treatment. Welcome to the death spiral.

* MoneyGrinding: If you want the wealth aspect for the best ending, be prepared to do a lot of this. That requires 50,000 valuables, and there is no way to get that from playing the game normally, even if you do all the optional content. So once all the quests are done and you're ready to sail back to Spain, you can first look forward to many hours of wandering around aimlessly to looking for treasure and cranking out rations to sell.
