Haha this is funny. No wonder Spanish Catholics went nuts conquering Mexico, the religion side of this is massive I guess.

I mean if I saw my comrades get sacrificed alive (Day of Sorrows) I would be pissed too, though they were relatively well behaved compared than Tlaxcalteca soldiers or Spaniards during some Reconquista campaigns.

Yea the Tlaxcalans were fricking brutal, I love reading about how the Spanish tried to control them in the war but that it never worked. Bernal Diaz del Castillo writes that during the Conquest the Tlaxcalans promised not to do human sacrifices or worship idols but by the time he died it was clear they were lying about quitting all that. Native thought was just too powerful, and he couldn’t do much about it since they were supposed to be the allies.
