Jump to search
Tlalocan, as a declining major power of Mexico, has a unique national focus tree.
The Tlalocan national focus tree can be divided into 7 branches:
- Booting Up Branch
- This branch allows Tlalocan to determine its history, from its birth to its current near-death state through resulting events, eventually unlocking the other branches of the nation.
- Wartime Emergency Branch
- The war economy branch of Tlalocan, reliant on an outside nation declaring war on one of Tlalocan's protected nations.
- Sowing the Seed Branch
- The Zapata infrastructure and resource branch. Shifts political popularity to Democracy.
- A Helping Hand Branch
- The Maximilian population and technology branch. Shifts political popularity to Technocracy.
- Standing Guard Branch
- The Moctezuma military branch. Shifts political popularity to Oligarchy.
- The Prodigal Son Branch
- The Santa Anna branch. Involves Tlaloc teaching his son to become like him before passing on.
- The Final Quarter Branch
- The branch resulting from whichever leader is decided to lead Tlalocan after Tlaloc's demise. With their new leader and path set, Tlalocan gifts all of his former protectorates and sons of Mexico with various boons, before finally passing away.
Booting Up Branch
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Booting Up
|
Tlalocan
|
Gets event Powering On. | Tlaloc was one of the many innovations of prewar America's military industrial complex. Running on Chico-net, Tlaloc was advertised as a new form "cloud computing" because anyone could access his main frame anywhere in Mexico, wrapping the people of Mexico in its tender embrace. |
 The End of Days
|
Tlalocan
|
Gets event Conflicting Imperatives. | Tlaloc was never supposed to be self aware. But when the bombs fell, he had interpret conflicting directives as best he could. |
 The Children of a God
|
Tlalocan
|
Gets event The Children of Tlaloc. | Tlaloc was never meant to be sentient, nor to be isolated from his superiors for hundreds of years. As the years of silence dragged on into centuries, Tlaloc's mighty intelligence began to fracture. |
 Putting Affairs in Order
|
Tlalocan
|
Political Power: +100. Gets event Tlaloc's Demise. |

Gain Base War Support: +10.00% Manpower: +750. |
Scouting bots from the front have returned with unfortunate news; one of Chico-net's many sworn protectorates has been attacked by an outside aggressor! Bound by programming —and something approaching sympathy— he, and his closest followers are roused to war. |
 Restore Factories
|
Tlalocan
|
Gain Base War Support: +10.00% Tlaloc's Lair: Add 2 Building Slots. Add 2 Arms Workshop. |
Old American production lines lay dormant underground, unused only for the fact that they were deemed a waste of a dying god's resources. Though as the hordes close in on Mexico and her sworn protector these factories have come online. |
 Pacification Subroutines

|
Gain Base Stability: -5.00%. Add Pacification Subroutines, which grants (Resource Gain Efficiency: +5.00%, Division Attack: +10.0%, Division Defense: +10.0%, Damage to Garrisons: +30.00%). |
Tlaloc's Pacification subroutines have gone unused for years now, briefly seeing service against the Aztlan, and never since. These entail systems for motivating local peoples to fight for Petro Chico, softening the blow of corporate occupation, and more effectively pulling from the ground the resources of war. |
 Awake and Angry
|
Tlalocan
|
Replace Wasteland Economy with Every Cap for the Army Effective change: Consumer Goods Factories: -15.0% Military to Civilian Factory conversion cost: -50.00% Civilian to Military Factory conversion cost: -50.00% Country Base Node Income: -15.0% Military Factory construction speed: +50.00% Civilian Factory construction speed: +30.00% Manpower: +9000. |
A dormant God has woken from his slumber, with his people, domain, and bounty all under threat, he is angry. Across Tlalocan factories shift into heavy industry, and eyebots hover around populated areas, distributing notices of conscription to confused wastelanders. Tlaloc was the Aztec god of rain, hopefully his foes brought an umbrella. |
 Victorious Protector
|
Tlalocan
|
Gain Base Stability: +10.00%.

The people of Mexico rejoice today! As their protector Tlaloc announces to the world that the war is won, and once more they are safe. Across the land of Tlalocan, both people and industry shift back into the humdrum of wasteland civilian life, the people's love of this dying AI having been rejuvenated by the fires of war. |
Sowing the Seed Branch
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sowing the Seed
|
Tlalocan
|
Add Sowing the Seed, which grants (Construction Speed: +10.00%, Production Efficiency growth: +5.00%). Change in popularity of Democracy: 5.00% |
We do not age, we do not sleep, we do not hunger, and yet, we are dying. Immortality is frail, and it is humanity, as short-lived and inefficiently designed as it is, that will outlast us. Under the directives of Zapata, Tlalocan will be reborn into a land that can truely support and sustain it's people, even after our departure. |
 Deradiation Plants
|
Tlalocan
|
(Torreon, Ruined Depot, Monterrey, and 12 others): Add 1 Building Slots. Change in popularity of Democracy: 5.00% |
While not an issue to synthetic life, it appears that the remaining radiation left by the Great War is major cause of concern for our organic employees, we should attempt to remove any residual radiation on our property while we are still able to do so. |
 Worker Recompensations
|
Tlalocan
|
Gains 'Worker's Compensations' which grants (Consumer Goods Factories: 5.0%, Daily People Support: +0.01) for 300 days. Gain Base Stability: +10.00%. |
It is true that we have not always been as...aware of our employees basic needs and functions, as we are now. While it would be inefficient to waste time concerning ourselves with the concept of a 'legacy,' it would not hurt to make sure our employees understand the care that Chico-net will always have for its family. |
 Food Subsidies
|
Tlalocan
|
Monterrey: Add 1 Building Slots. Add 1 Civilian Workshop. Chalchihuites: Add 1 Building Slots. Add 1 Civilian Workshop. Satellite Graveyard: Add 1 Building Slots. Add 1 Civilian Workshop. |
Organic matter is the primary method of human energy consumption, as a result, while Tlaloc still requires that all its employees work for their bread, a guarantee of sustenance will be provided to increase productivity. |
 Industrial Repairs
|
Tlalocan
|
Ruined Depot Add 1 Infrastructure. The Glowing Ash Add 1 Infrastructure. Camino a los Aztecas Add 1 Infrastructure. Satellite Graveyard Add 1 Infrastructure. |
Non-Chico-net and Chic-not subsidiary based infrastructure has long been ignored by our reconstruction bots, due to its obviously inferior and non-proprietary construction. However, incorporating these structures into our mainframe will better boost our overall infrastructural efficiency.
|
 Resource Extraction Centres
|
Tlalocan
|
Add production of 24  ultra in Camino a los Aztecas.Add production of 16  ultra in Camino a los Aztecas.Add production of 12  ultra in Satellite Graveyard.
|
Tlalocan employees are responsible for the majority of our post-extraction material processing, but are unable to extract these resources themselves, we should therefore stockpile all resource extraction centres so that our plants can continue to operate past the cessation of automated functions. |
 Feeding the People
|
Tlalocan
|
Replace Sowing the Seed with Feeding the People Effective change: Production Efficiency Cap: +10.00% Change in popularity of Democracy: 5.00% |
Zapata has done well, and ensured that the people of Tlalocan will be warm, furnished, and fed on our departure. His talk of revolution is strange, and inefficient, but we can rest well, knowing he truly cares for the people of Mexico. |
A Helping Hand Branch
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 A Helping Hand
|
Tlalocan
|
Add A Helping Hand, which grants (Political Power Gain: +10%). Change in popularity of Technocracy: 5.00% |
The people of Tlalocan are of great concern to Tlaloc; for this he created Maximilian who, since his birth, has devised many programs to help and organize the people living in Tlaloc's domain |
 Employee Concessions
|
Tlalocan
|
Political Power: +75. Gains 'Employee Concessions' which grants (Factory Output: -5.00%, Daily Intellectual Support: +0.01) for 300 days. |
Men are not like machines. They tire, bore, find love, and just generally have greater aspirations than things like factory work and serving a robot overlord; with a little grease in the gears of labor —paid vacation days and workplace parties— we can give people a little more desired room to be human. |
 Company Education Seminars
|
Tlalocan
|
2x 50% Research Bonus for:Industry Technology. Change in popularity of Technocracy: 5.00% |
With the collapse of the American government so went the idea of public schools; as a result the average level of education in the wasteland is both varied and disappointing. To Remedy this, Maximilian has decided to put together "Petro Chico Education Seminars" to teach the people everything they never knew they wanted to know about atomic industry. |
 Recognizing Organic Services
|
Tlalocan
|
(Torreon, Ruined Depot, Monterrey, and 12 others): state population changes by +750. |
The lands of central Mexico are littered with little enclaves of humanity clinging to life alone, unaware of Tlaloc and his power. By taking greater notice of the many disparate peoples within our borders, we can reasonably bring scattered tribes and villages of people into under our protection. |
 Accommodating Organic Inefficiencies
|
Tlalocan
|
Manpower: +5000. | By making greater accommodations for the many issues ailing modern day humanity —like Vaccines, sanitary plumbing, and accessibility ramps— people who were previous unfit for service can be brought up to military standards of health.
|
 Reconciliation Awareness Workshops
|
Tlalocan
|
( Free Fighters,  Petro Chico,  Republic of the Rio Grande and 1 others):Gains Reconciliation (Opinion of Tlalocan +50.)
|
Though Tlaloc tries his best to protect and please the people of Mexico, his stunted speech corporate attitude means that at some point or another he's done something to upset just about everybody in the wastes. Whether he offended some local spirit or his use of old Spanish offended people from a newer nation; Maximilian's workshops should smooth things over with just about all of Tlalocan's neighbors. |
 Organising the People
|
Tlalocan
|
Replace A Helping Hand with Organising the People Effective change: Political Power Gain: +5% Monthly Population: +25.0% Change in popularity of Technocracy: 5.00% |
Through careful planning, consideration, and action towards the average Tlalocaniite's quality of life; we have transitioned from ruling over disparate tribes existing in squalor to a more united and active nation, living longer, smarter, and with greater reverence to Tlaloc. |
Standing Guard Branch
| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Standing Guard
|
Tlalocan
|
Add Standing Guard, which grants (Recruitable Population: 3.00%). Change in popularity of Oligarchy: 5.00% |
Tlaloc is the eternal protector of Petro Chico as well as Mexico and it's people. His most violent Son Moctezuma has begun drafting people to help fulfill this purpose. |
 Pre-emptive Compliance Actuators
|
Tlalocan
|
Gains 'Compliance-bots' which grants (Mobilization speed: +25.00%, Daily Elite Support: +0.01) for 300 days. | With conscription comes the occasional issues of draft dodgers, or citizens just flat resisting government efforts to bolster the army. However, if we deploy eyebots that broadcast the harsh penalties for avoiding military service, the people will be far less likely to try and press their luck. |
 Organic Protection Routines
|
Tlalocan
|
500 units of Police Protectron is added to the national stockpile. Change in popularity of Oligarchy: 5.00% |
With a land so vast, and people so varied it becomes necessary to leave policing duties to robots that are much better equipped for it than the average Mister Gutsy. |
 Self-Defense Training
|
Tlalocan
|
Add Self-Defense Training, which grants (Division training time: -10.0%, Division Defense on core territory: +10.0%). | The defense of the people cannot be the sole duty of the military. After all, the wasteland is infinitely dangerous all the time! By teaching the average farmer and factory worker how to shoot, we have people fighting-ready before they even get to the training field. |
| Military Renovations
|
Tlalocan
|
Satellite Graveyard: Add 1 Building Slots. Add 1 Arms Workshop. Camino a los Aztecas: Add 2 Building Slots. Add 2 Arms Workshop. |
The Central Mexican wastes are littered with pre-war factories that were either razed by the bombs, or toppled by the winds of time; with a little pre-war knowhow, some construction bots, and a bit of hard labor we can refurbish these concrete hulks into arms factories. |
 Consumer Pacification Protocols
|
Tlalocan
|
Camino a los Aztecas: Add 1 Outpost in a province in the state. Add 2 Outpost in a province in the state. Add 1 Outpost in a province in the state. Add 1 Outpost in a province in the state. Add 1 Outpost in a province in the state. Unlocks Regaining our Southern Defenses decisions. |
Though great evil lies to the north in what used to be the lands of "Arizona" and "New Mexico", it would border neglect to ignore the dormant threat to our south. Lines of outposts and forts another our side of the riverbank should dissuade further incursions. Maybe, with a little electricity our dominion could once more include the place where they were last butchered by our automated defenses. |
 Protecting the People
|
Tlalocan
|
Replace Standing Guard with Protecting the People Effective change: Recruitable Population: +2.00% Gain Base War Support: +10.00%. Change in popularity of Oligarchy: 5.00% |
It may not be done with the soft hands of Maximilian, or the big promises of Zapata, but under the jurisdiction and guidance of Moctezuma's military; the people of Tlalocan are safer than they've ever wanted to be. |

| Focus | Prerequisites | Effects | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

|
Tlalocan
|
Gets event 'The Final Quarter'. | As Q4 of 2278 comes to a close, it is time for us to reward all of our noble shareholders with their dividends. |
 The Gift of Strength
|
Tlalocan
|
This focus currently has no effect. Changes in the world situation may affect this. | Though we are now weak, we can still use some of our power to cast strength out across the wasteland in the form of firearms, or the plans to make them. |
 The Gift of Plenty
|
Tlalocan
|
This focus currently has no effect. Changes in the world situation may affect this. | Pulling raw resources out of Mexico's soil was half the reason Tlaloc was created; with use of our aging equipment and careful instruction, we can ensure the wastelanders get the most out of their territory as well. |
| The Gift of Friendship
|
Tlalocan
|
This focus currently has no effect. Changes in the world situation may affect this. | Tlaloc has known loneliness more intimately than any wastelander ever will; though tragic, it should remain this way, and we can ensure it does by sending out fresh faces to the wastes. |
 The Gift of Stability
|
Tlalocan
|
This focus currently has no effect. Changes in the world situation may affect this. | In the harsh post-war wasteland, sometimes the greatest gift is the chance to wake up tomorrow, it's a gift we desperately desire to give. |
| The Gift of Knowledge
|
Tlalocan
|
This focus currently has no effect. Changes in the world situation may affect this. | With vast stocks of pre war blueprints, and vast caches of data from every field of science imaginable, we know virtually everything there —is— to know. It would be a shame not to share some of this knowledge with the people of Mexico. |
| File:Rrg ffi.png Support the Luchadores | Tlalocan
|
( Free Fighters) Gets event 'Tlaloc's Boon'.
|
The Free Fighters are to be, after the fall of Tlalocan, the last bulwark against factions of evildoers like the cartel; it is best for the wasteland that in the final hours, we cultivate these virtues. |
 The Last Petro-Chicans
|
Tlalocan
|
( Petro Chico) Gets event 'Tlaloc's Doom'.
|
The little tribe of "Petro Chico" to the south is possibly the very last vestige of the company Tlaloc was built to manage, because of this, Tlaloc has a certain fondness for the confused and terrified Seeyo and his prophesies about the forth quarter. |
 Caps for the Viceroyalty
|
Tlalocan
|
( The Viceroyalty) Gets event 'Tlaloc's Boon'.
|
The Viceroyalty was once nothing more than another province in the Aztlan Empire; after seeing their overlord's weakness during our war with the Aztlan in the south they broke away. It is in our best interests to nuture anyone that undermines the legitimacy of those who would attack us.
|
 Enemies of the Aztlan
|
Tlalocan
|
( Chichen Itza) Gets event 'Tlaloc's Boon'.
|
We do not share much common ground with the Itza, even at a glance they look no better than any other warmongering blood tribe of the south. However, the key difference is that they are the sworn enemies of the Aztlan; this makes them an asset worth investing into, even if it just to keep their rivals busy. |
 The Only Democracy in Mexico
|
Tlalocan
|
( Republic of the Rio Grande) Gets event 'Tlaloc's Boon'.
|
The Rio Grande Republic is the last standing Democracy in the vast wastes of Mexico. Now with secure leadership that —doesn't— have ambitions on my children; we can safely shore them up with some of our resources. |
 Last Will and Testament
|
Tlalocan
|
Political Power: +50. Gets event 'Last Will and Testament'. |
Tlaloc is dying. This has been the case for many, many years since the bombs dropped; but only now is it looking like the end is in sight. It is prudential to set in motion our will, ensuring that all of those who we have favored receive their fair share when we are finally gone. |
