[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7734061, member: 2518"] Uhm, maybe you should read the adventure and interview again. The Spanish have dragons on their own and all of Europe had them for centuries. The native dragons are bigger, but not as well organized and less numerous. Also the designers want the players to shape the setting by sending in the results of their plays. But considering how much care was spend on fleshing out the natives I doubt a total Spanish victory would be what the designers want as that would restore the historical situation. If the Spanish are not able to plunder the riches of the New World history will look very different for Spain but also for other countries which profited from the wealth gained there (Britain) and countries which came into conflict with Spain like France and the Dutch. But that would be out of scope of DCA. The exploitation of the New World only started much later. Still, I feel the setting would be better to not limit itself to the Americas and eventually release a expansion book about Europe, the Middle East and maybe the Far East. After all the Italian War is at its height, the Ottoman and Mamelukes are headed toward their final confrontation and the Timurid Empire just collapsed. Lets see how "shades of grey" the setting will be. After all the reports of mass human sacrifices by the Aztec were not false, only (maybe) exaggerated. [/QUOTE]
