In these same areas numerous clay figurines similar to those produced by the Chimu and Mochica cultures of northern Peru, as well as star-shaped maceheads reminiscent of the same region, have been discovered (Krickeberg 1982,354).

According to conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo, the macuahuitl was 3 to 4 feet (0.91 to 1.22 m) long, and three inches (75 mm) wide, with a groove along either edge, into which sharp-edged pieces of flint or obsidian were inserted and firmly fixed with an adhesive.[

One of the most interesting early arms of Hawaii is the shark toothed club. Although this name is some what a misnomer, due to the fact that the shark toothed weapons were used for slashing weapons. A round weapon may have 30 or more shark teeth around the edges, other varieties featured as few as 3 in a claw shape. Shark tooth also a proffered weapon of ancient Hawaiian nobles. Many weapons were hooked to grab limbs.
Short spears and stone clubs made up the bulk of Hawaiian close melee weapons. Short spears were not larger at the base like the longer pikes

The weighted part of the rope was thrown at an opponent's legs to trip him, and then another weapon, perhaps a stone hand club shaped like today's hand-held weights with bulbous ends and a slimmer connecting section to grasp, would be used to finish off the tripped enemy.

The Aztec armed forces were typically composed of a large number of commoners (yāōquīzqueh [jaː.oːˈkiːskeʔ], "those who have gone to war") who possessed only basic military training, and a smaller but still considerable number of professional warriors belonging to the nobility (pīpiltin [piːˈpiɬtin]) and who were organized into warrior societies and ranked according to their achievements.

Warfare amongst the tribal chieftains (ali'i) of the Hawaiian islands was common, with fierce battles typically fought to establish political boundaries and during succession disputes. Raiding was frequent. As the scale of warfare increased, the chieftains of Hawaii and Maui became increasingly powerful as they could draw on the larger populations and resources of their islands to support military operations. By the 1780s warfare was increasingly institutionalized, with formal rules and rituals. The ali'i built and consecrated luakini (state temples) and conducted sacrifices, prayers, and ceremonies before launching campaigns.

As the retiring Oahuans reached the head of the valley, they were trapped with the 1,200 foot Nu'uani Pali cliff at their backs. Kamehameha committed his pike, whose advance literally pushed the Oahu warriors off the cliff to their deaths.
... ... ...
After 28 years of campaigning, Kamehameha now ruled all the islands of Hawaii. Governing from Oahu, he issued the famous Mamalahoe Kanawai or Law of the Splintered Paddle, which decreed that old men and women and children should not be subjected to wanton attacks, and passed a series of laws against murder, theft and plundering. Conquered lands were divided among his high chieftains in widely dispersed parcels to minimize the risk of rebellion. In 1812, he took a final tour of his kingdom and then settled at Kailua-Kona, where he mixed avid sport fishing with statecraft until his death in 1819.

Malietoa King (Samoan pronunciation: [maːɾiɛˈto.a] Mālietoa, of Samoa colloquially [maːɾieko'a]) is a state dynasty and chiefly title in Samoa. Literally translated as "great warrior," the title's origin comes from the final words of the Tongan warriors as they were fleeing on the beach to their boats, "Malie To`a, Malo e tau".. great warrior, thank you for the war.

The name “Zapotec” was given them by their rivals to the north, the Aztec. However, their creation tales spoke of their origins from supernatural beings from above, hence their native name Be’ena Za’a, or “people of the clouds.”"

from a war game, I think...Age of Empires...brb...
quote
Age of Empires focused on events in Europe, Africa and Asia, spanning from the Stone Age to the Iron Age; the expansion game explored the formation and expansion of the Roman Empire. The sequel, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, was set in the Middle Ages, while its expansion focused partially on the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The subsequent three games of Age of Empires III explored the early modern period, when Europe was colonizing the Americas and several Asian nations were on the decline. The newest installment, Age of Empires Online, takes a different approach as a free-to-play online game utilizing Games for Windows Live. A spin-off game, Age of Mythology, was set in the same period as the original Age of Empires, but focused on mythological elements of Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology. A fourth main installment in the series, Age of Empires IV, is under development.
