Age of Empires II civilization analysis — power units, tiers, and strategic identity
← All civilizations · Matchup Advisor
This civ has strong infantry for frontline pressure, with Elite Jaguar Warrior serving as the backbone of siege-backed pushes. Limited counter options mean this civ must play aggressively and press its advantage before opponents can mass their army. An infantry ram push is the signature play -- use Elite Jaguar Warrior as a meatshield to protect rams pushing into enemy bases.
