- A long time ago, in ancient Maya, located in present day Guatemala, Southern Mexico, and Northern Belize...

- Mother! What's the matter!?
- Oh no! We have to go watch!
- Oh, Izel, our individual city's king had decided to have another religious Ulama game! The losers get sacrificed! And while you were gone, the tax collector came by, and saw your dad, who was harvesting our crops. The collector saw how strong he was and ordered him to play in the game. If he loses...
- Later...
- Achievements, Religion, Society
- He lost the game! Now he'll be taken by the priest to that big pyramid that was built a few suns ago to be sacrificed!
- Come with me, commoner.
- Religion
- Now the priest will take father to the temple and sacrifice him one way or another. Probably by slicing out his heart!
- None
- Hello?
- Religion, Society, Economics
- Gasp!
- Is that you!?
- Yes! It is me! The priest decided I wasn't important enough to be completely sacrificed! The priest just took a few drops of blood from me for Chaac, the god of rain and lightning. I've never been so happy to be unimportant! Now, let's finish harvesting the corn, beans, cocoa pods, squash, and peppers, and we can have a feast to celebrate!
- I know Izel... but there's nothing we can do about it now... let's go home.
