    This makes me wonder how well the aztecs would have done if they had to interact with different religions

      They interacted with Catholics and got genocided. As for other native faiths, I don’t really know much but they were very much an empire and treated other peoples very poorly.

        I remember reading a book on the Astec empire and its fall by the spanish was a sum of perfectly aligned random events, based on their system of beliefs. They could have resisted the invasion and records by spanish soldiers of the time on how the astecs were fierce and fearless warriors exist.

        The astecs just stopped resisting at some point and either got assimilated or slaughtered and their civilization wiped out.
