The Aztecs were known for being a very fierce nation of people. And they would defend their homeland with might and ferocity against all invaders. This wasn’t only relevant to the men, but to the women as well. And henceforth, the Aztec Warrior Princess slot game was born. It’s a little bit of a shame that Play’n Go chose to simply replicate the Aztec Princess game, at least in terms of the visual side of things. All of the icons that you will see on the reels are exactly the same in both games. In fact, it seems as though they’re exactly the same game, but with one word difference in their titles. Either way, this is not so much a bad thing in terms of the entertainment side of things. After all, the inclusion of several special features and high quality graphics makes for an exciting slot. The question that remains though, is why do you need two games of exactly the same thing? Either way, regardless of whether you play this option or the Aztec Princess option, you’ll be spinning through a thoroughly compelling game.

This Play’n Go slot offers up a layout of five reels and three rows in total. Therefore, you’ll have a standard video slot design on display, so it should be quite familiar to see. Alongside this setup, there are 20 different win lines for you to place bets on. However, if you find that these lines are too many for you, you do have the chance to customise them easily. Simply utilise the relevant plus and minus buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can also adjust the value of your wager there too. First of all, why not alter the value of a single coin between $0.01 and $0.25? And once you’ve done that, you can select how many of these coins you want to be in play per active line. The slot offers up a range of between one and five for this. Therefore, the maximum overall wager possibility in Aztec Warrior Princess stands at $25 per spin. And there’s also the inclusion of an ‘Auto Play’ button too.

As we said before, the game also has some impressive graphics for you to see. You’ll feel very much like you’re in an Aztec world with the decorative background of the slot. And the icons of the game will show up on its reels, as is standard. The first of these icons are present in the shape of the playing card images. So, you can spin through the blue 10, the green J, the purple Q, the turquoise K and the red A. Together, they are what form this slot’s lowest paying symbols. Following on from these, there’s the icon of the poison dart frog. Then comes the icon of the bald eagle and another of the leopard. Either of these can pay out up to 500 times your in-play wager. Last but not least, there’s the symbol of the dragon in play too. Five of these on a winning bet line will reward you with a pay out of 1,000 times your bet.

If you’re thinking of overrunning the Aztec village, then you’ll need to be aware of the Warrior Princess. She’ll defend her territory valiantly. And she’s no pushover either. Fortunately, you can make use of one or two Play’n Go specialities in order to defeat her and claim the land as your own. The first of these features is the wild icon. This appears on the reels in the form of the gold coin. As a wild icon, it will substitute for any other symbol upon the reels to form a winning combination. The exceptions to this rule come in the shape of the bonus, scatter and freespin icons. And whenever you spin five of the wild icons into view on a winning bet line, you’ll receive a bet multiplier of times 5,000.

The game’s freespins round comes into play with the appearance of the Warrior Princess symbol. This is the game’s first scatter icon, so it can appear anywhere and still provide you with a pay out. For example, if you manage to bring five of them into view on a winning bet line, you’ll receive 300 times your wager as a reward. Additionally, whenever three or more of the scatter princess icon show up, you’ll activate the freespins feature. The scatter symbol turns wild during the freespins round as well, and there are a total of 15 freespins for you to receive. You cannot re-trigger the freespins while the feature is in play though.

Finally, you will also see the appearance of an icon with three skulls on it. This is the second scatter symbol of Aztec Warrior Princess, which is also the bonus icon. Whenever you spin three or more of these into view in any position, the Bonus Game begins. This presents you with a screen of various different skulls. Clicking on them will reveal a colour. You need to try and match three of these colours up in order to win up to 500 times your wager!

The story of the Mexica sacrifice of a Colhua princess

ORIGINAL QUESTION received from - and thanks to - Ibod: Hi I have some confusion about the story of “Aztec sacrifice a Culhuacan princess”. How could the Aztecs sacrifice a Culhuacan princess when their first king’s mother is a Culhuacan princess, or is the story of a Culhuacan princess’s sacrifice a myth? Many thanks. (Answered by Ian Mursell/Mexicolore)

Pic 1: Codex Boturini, fol. 20. Mexica leader Huitziihuitl and his daughter Chimaláxoch are captured and brought by Colhua warriors to King Coxcoxtli. The Aztecs were imprisoned (right) at Contitlan (Click on image to enlarge)

It’s probably, in David Carrasco’s words, ‘a combination of legend and history’. No images exist of the particular incident in question, but it’s very much part of the final stages in the mythical foundation story of Tenochtitlan, and the context for it is depicted in important migration story manuscripts such as the Codex Boturini (pic 1) and the Codex Azcatitlan. Richard Townsend (The Aztecs) places it within the narrative as ‘the point [at which] the migration myth enters the realm of actual history.’ It’s worth quoting Townsend’s telling of the story in detail... (Note that Colhuacan is often also written Culhuacan)

Pic 2: The glyph for Colhuacan (right): shown here defeated, years later, by the Aztecs; Codex Mendoza fol. 2r (detail) (Click on image to enlarge)

Returning to Chapultepec, [c. 1325 CE, having earlier reached the Basin of Mexico after travelling through Coatepetl and Tula, and receiving a hostile reception from the tribes already settled in the Basin] the Mexica soon faced another threat, this time from a coalition led by the Tepanecs of Atzcapotzalco and supported by neighbouring Culhuacan... [pic 2] The Mexica were seen to be dangerous squatters and were decisively defeated [pix 1 & 3] in the woods in the area of modern Chapultepec Park in Mexico City... Eventually the main group of Mexica refugees made their way to Culhuacan to beg protection of its rulers. The council of Culhuacan decided to grant the supplicants some land at Tizaapan, an inhospitable lava-flow near today’s University City. Displaying courage and endurance, and drawing on their long experience of hunting and gathering, the Mexica proceeded to adapt themselves to this unlikely environment...

Pic 3: A repeat of the image shown in picture 1, this time depicted in the Codex Azcatitlan, fol. 10 (detail) (Click on image to enlarge)

As a degree of acceptance grew, courtship and intermarriages also began. Soon the Mexica were styling themselves “Culhua-Mexica”, and by virtue of newly established bonds of kinship, they began to regard themselves in some measures as part of “Toltec” civilisation, for Culhuacan was a town where Toltecs had settled after the fall of Tula.The Mexica position within Culhuacan was strengthened when they were enlisted as allies in a small-scale war against neighbouring Xochimilco. In the ensuing battle along the lakeshore the Mexica warriors saved the day... Aspiring now to higher status the Mexica boasted of their achievements in the marketplace. This insolence failed to impress the old Culhua nobles...

Pic 4: Following the death of the princess, the Mexica are driven out of Colhua territory and into marshlands. Note the glyph for Tizaapan as a collection of dots by the waterside, and the use of shields as makeshift rafts; Codex Azcacitlan fol. 11 (Click on image to enlarge)

As discontent arose, the Mexica themselves precipitated their own violent departure. Obeying the promptings of Huitzilopochtli’s priests, they had approached Achitometl, one of the Culhua magnates, asking for his beautiful daughter as their “sovereign” and “wife of Huitzilopochtli”*. Not understanding the implications of this request, Achitometl acceded to the honour; his daughter went to Tizaapan, where she was splendidly arrayed and sacrificed. Following an old custom, the body was flayed and a priest donned her skin in an ancient agricultural rite symbolising the renewal of life. The unsuspecting chieftain Achitometl, invited to participate in the concluding festivities, suddenly recognised the skin of his daughter on the body of the priest. The outraged Culhua took arms and were joined by others and, in the wild melee of javelins and arrows, the Mexica were once again driven into the reeds and brackish swamps of Lake Tezcoco. [pic 4] The next day they made their way in canoes and makeshift rafts across the water to the uninhabited islands.

Pic 5: Colhua warriors chase the fleeing Aztecs. The gloss ‘colhuaque tetoca’ means ‘The Colhua follow people...’ (Click on image to enlarge)

Although this episode reads as a single event in the migration, it is also a stylised way of expressing the tribe’s intention to become a settled agricultural people by ceremonial marriage with a female who was the symbolic personification of an “earth mother” deity...
* Note Berdan & Rieff Anawalt’s comment here that ‘By the fourteenth century, Colhuacan’s greatest assets were its princesses. Because this centre could truly claim ruling lineages dating back to the revered Toltecs, the sequential, newly arrived Chichimecs were eager to marry into these royal lines so as to attain legitimacy. The Mexica were no exception.’
