• Unique improvement: Terrace Farm
• Unique civics: Mit'a, Ayllu, Qhapaq Ñan

Intro

Tawantinsuyu, "the empire in four parts," was ruled by the Inca, and extended across the Andes mountains, building roads and waystations, terraced fields and silver mines – an empire in the sky. Under the Inca was a diverse collection of subjects, languages, and cultures, but no writing or coinage. Yet the empire came to a crashing end upon the arrival of the Spanish, and smallpox.

Trivia

• The Inca civilization's symbol is the chakana, which is thought to represent Cusco (Qusqu) and the Southern Cross.
• The Inca civilization ability is the English plural form of apu, meaning "lord" in Quechua, and referring to sacred mountains or rocks inhabited by protective local deities or spirits. The plural in Quechua be "apukuna".
• The Inca background art depicts the Inti Raymi ("Sun Festival"), dedicated to the solar god Inti, being celebrated in front of a temple. The temple appears visually inspired by the Temple of the Sun at Machu Pikchu.
