Montezuma (Civ6)

Montezuma I (c. 1398 AD – 1469 AD) was the fifth tlatoani of Tenochtitlan and second huey tlatoani of the Aztec Empire. He is known for greatly expanding Aztec territory, as well as consolidating Tenochtitlan's supremacy as the dominant partner over Texcoco and Tlacopan in the Aztec Triple Alliance. He leads the Aztecs in Civilization VI.
Montezuma is an aggressive expansionist who pushes out his empire in order to collect all the Luxuries he can.
== Intro ==
 Tlatoani Montezuma, keep your eagle warriors happy and fed, and they will forever fight for your cause. As your Aztec empire unfurls across the land, you will never want for people to raise your walls, for you will be blessed with new, loyal workers as you conquer those around you. Go forth; Huitzilopochtli calls.
== In-Game ==
Montezuma's unique agenda is Tlatoani. He likes civilizations who have the same luxury resources as him and dislikes civilizations who have luxuries which he does not possess.
Montezuma's leader ability is Gifts for the Tlatoani. It causes luxury resources in his territory to give an to two extra cities and gives his military units +1 Combat Strength (and his religious units +1 Religious Strength) for each different luxury resource improved in Aztec lands when attacking. Luxuries obtained from Great Merchants (i.e., , , , and ) count toward this leader ability, but luxuries from trading or city-states (i.e., and ) do not.
== Detailed Approach ==
The Aztecs will be a warmonger throughout the game, but they should have plenty of to handle any war weariness that develops. Their initial push will be to defeat enemies with their Eagle Warriors, allowing those enemy units to morph into Aztec Builders. These Builders then serve as fuel for a rapid expansion of Aztec cities, utilizing their unique ability to use Builder charges on construction. Ultimately they want as wide an empire as possible since any extra Luxuries they can capture will increase their further and provide stronger attack boosts.

Montezuma is voiced by Irwin Daayán Rosenthal Sarli. He speaks Classical Nahuatl, but the language is both poorly translated and poorly pronounced.

Codename 	Quote (English translation) 	Quote (Classical Nahuatl) 	Notes
Agenda-based Approval 	We have more in common, than not. You follow Tlacaelel's words. 	Notemi nicapapaquiz ica moyaoyo[tl] hual tepotztoca Tlacaelel. 	
Agenda-based Disapproval	You have much that I do not! Do you want your people taken as slaves? 	Tleica ca tictlahcalli pampa xiquimoyotl huan? Ticnequi titlaquih ahmo tlacahmeh quemen tlacotli[huen]? (?) 	The voice actor appears to repeat ca as it is already included in tleica. The pronunciation is rough, and it is difficult to tell what huen is - it may be huan, the possessive plural, but this would still be ungrammatical since it does not have a possessive (e.g., motlacohuan).
Attacked 	Your soldiers will die on the battlefield or upon an altar. It makes no difference to Huitzilopochtli. (lit. "Your [?] die on the battlefield immediately or maybe on tzompantli. Now not anymore [?] Huitzilopochtli.") 	Mohuaxohuan miquih [ic] yaoyotl niman nahuac ahnozo ipan tzompantli. Nican aoc ceneca Huitzilopochtli. 	The first part of the first sentence ("Your...immediately") is entirely ungrammatical. The stress in nicán and ipán is incorrect - it should be nícan and ípan instead.
Declares War 	Now we will see if you are cowards or warriors! 	Niman axcan mititintlahquia! Timahuiqui ahnozo teyaochihuani?! 	The voice actor mispronounces axcan - it should be "ásh-can," not "aks-cán."
Defeated 	Huitzilopochtli forgive our weakness… my weakness. I was not strong enough to serve you. (lit. "Huitzilopochtli, forgive our lack of [muscular] strength... my lack of muscular strength. I abandon [?, locative] in a cloudy place [?].") 	Huitzilopochtli pohpolhuia toahchicahua[chotl?]huan... noahchicahua[chotl?]huan. Ca nicauh cencah miec [?] pampa mixtlah [?].	
Greeting 	I am the scowling lord of Tenochtitlan. The tlatoani. Who comes before me? A warrior or a coward? (lit. "[ungrammatical form prob. of "stand aside, withdraw"] lord of Tenochtitlan. The great Tlahtoani. What do you want? Are you a warrior, or a coward?")	Nicuani tequiuh ahquetl Tenochtitlan. Huey[i] tlahtoani. Tleinon ticnequi? Tiyaochihuani ahnozo timahuiqui? 	
Quote from Civilopedia 	The sun is not hot when it has risen; after it has been travelling its course a while, then it becomes hot. 	In oaquiza Tonatiuh ahmo totonqui. Quin ihcuac quiyeliz ye tiuh ye totonqui.

* Montezuma's leader ability references his reforms of the Aztec Empire's tribute system, while his agenda is his title.
