In-Game Description

Small towns often have incredible histories. Going back to the prehispanic era, Cuernavaca has been the site of battles and important cultural developments. This is where the Aztecs clashed with neighboring peoples, Cortés built the first colonial structures, rebels made their stands in the turbulent post revolution era, Zapata threatened the Capitol, and American expatriates lounged about in the interwar. Now, a new era dawns on the sleepy city. Long an important connection between Mexico City and the rest of the Valley of Mexico, the city now experiences a new arrival more powerful than the armies it has seen clash before: the highway. Miles of asphalt are poured here every day, and more and more people pour into the town in large amounts. To pave the roads, to cater to the cars that ride on them, this is the call of Cuernavaca. And where centuries of men fought and died, the highway will now bind the land together.
