So I've scoured the forums here and the recorded games section looking for an expert replay of someone using the Aztecs in treaty or in any game lasting into the imperial age. I just can't find any though; everyone seems to just rush with them, which I know isn't true since I see a lot of people using the Aztecs in treaty online. So does anyone out there know or have any Aztec treaty replays by an expert player? btw, I play with the latest retail patch but am willing to install the fan patch just to watch some replays if they're good enough.
On a side note: Are macehualtins, ERK, and puma spearman any good in treaty? They all seem to be pretty weak units (puma not that much, but JPK is better). Without those, Aztecs only have 2 good units - JPK and Coyote. And to make Skull knights isn't viable in treaty when you need war/fertility dance.
Do they have any advantages besides walls?
Which units should I be mostly making?
For non-treaty, is there any point at which making Skull knights is a good idea?
And during the treaty period - should I have all villagers on resources and then move them to the FP when the treaty is over, or should I keep them on resources after the treaty period and just let the WP dance?
Thanks in advance for advice/replays anyone may have to offer.
