Conquest 05: Inca

In a few short centuries, the Incan civilization rose to be the largest of that Native American civilizations following their conquest of the Moche Culture in Peru, and their lands stretched from the Equator to the pacific coast. Building their cities and fortresses on the highlands of the Andes, the Incans showed great flair for engineering. This extended to the creation of drainage systems and canals that showed that they had a great understanding of the benefits of irrigation.



The Incan civilization was only really prominant for slightly longer than 3 centuries, before it was destroyed by the conquering Spanish Conquistadors. Your task is to prevent yourselves from being bettered, and lead the Incan civilization to reach its full potential!
