A Deep Dive into the New Muisca Civilization

Fabulously wealthy in gold, precious stones, and salt, the Muisca watch over the northern Andean highlands with skilled ranged soldiers and potent, mysterious priests. Ingenious craftsmanship and thriving trade networks have spread the legend of their prosperity far beyond Muisca borders, where it has even reached the ears of avaricious conquistadors. Despite the divisive war between the Zipa and Zaque demigods, the hidden Muisca mountain refuges should defy conquest and subjugation.

[h3]Unique Units[/h3]

[h3]Guecha Warrior[/h3]
Guecha warriors were elite Muisca soldiers who gained significant social status through military victories. They carried a variety of weapons, but commonly utilized javelins and long shields. Guecha warriors carried their predecessors' mummified remains into battle, believing that the fallen warrior’s body could lend them strength, fierceness, and deadly skill.

This formidable javelineer excels against ranged soldiers and regenerates whenever a nearby Guecha Warrior dies.


[h3]Temple Guard[/h3]
The Muisca had a strong religious tradition, which they practiced at locations such as the beautiful Sun Temple of Sugamuxi. They defended these wealthy sites fiercely against predatory rivals, whether they be Spanish conquistadors, German explorers, or fellow Muisca.

This zealous heavy infantry attacks faster the longer it remains in combat and will fight to the bitter end.
