Welp. I knew it was coming.

I hoped to all the Pantheons that they could avoid this fate. In fact, as I got closer to the finale I jokingly thought to myself "Kastor is the messenger. He told Iztaccihuatl that her bf died just so he could have her to himself..."

I didn't think the Devs would ACTUALLY go ahead and make him the Messenger. Now he's a True Greek Hero™ and he has to live with this for the Rest of His Life. I wish he just stayed a simp and not become the Hero of a Greek Tragedy. Is he even going to keep his title as Ruler/Basileus of Atlantis in the next campaign having messed up so bad?

If you don't know the story, in most versions Itz dies of grief after being erroneously told that Popocatepetl died in battle. And when Popocatepetl actually returns and finds Iztaccihuatl's body he takes her to the mountains and the two are turned into twin volcanoes by the Gods.

As for the rest of the Campaign.

Sibling Rivalry: I was expecting an easy starter but there is no handholding from the get-go

Hades Mission: Hades has Archer but, really, your mother/sister-in-law is much better at defending vault thing. Kinda wished I was playing Demeter instead just to see if I could beat my fave Arcadian Cheese.

We're Surrounded: Hardest mission yet. Gonna have to go back at some point and beat this.

Edit:

The Final Stand: What do Aztecs fear most other than the sun not rising? The "Giant Tapirs" of the Egyptian Army.

Other surprises? For a Pantheon introduced with the one-liner "War is a Divine Duty" it gets surprisingly anti-war and anti-imperialism as you follow Pocatepetl's story. I suppose this plays into the belief that snek demands less to no human sacrifice compared to Huitz, a War God.
