Aztecs

Aztecs

This civ is versatile, with strength across Ranged and Infantry -- allowing flexible strategies that adapt to any opponent. Anti-cavalry options are limited -- beware of knight-heavy opponents. Good skirmishers help shut down archer compositions. An infantry ram push is the signature play -- use Elite Jaguar Warrior as a meatshield to protect rams pushing into enemy bases.
