The Aztec Army. At DBA, this army is made up of a very large number of hordes ("5Hd"), intended to represent the plethoric numbers and the range of its fighters. This type of troop, if there is nothing truly scary, gives this army an undeniable solidity. It is a hard nut to break. The eagle or jaguar knights offer, as well as the warrior priests, an infantry of the highest quality.
One of the weak points of the Aztecs is the total lack of mounted troops (and for good reason) but this is not insurmountable and the light troops allow to comfortably lean on the ground. The main weakness of the army resides in the absence of a real force of rupture. The Cuachics do what they can in this field, but are too few to adequately fulfill this role.
A very colorful army and very pleasant to play.
