I think if you want to include that it would be a tiny amount of gold for every single enemy killed.

Eagle Warrior rushes are surprisingly good on the Castle Age. Most people, on the Castle Age, tend to go for one of the following kinds of units: Knights, Crossobowman, or Monks. Eagle Warriors do a incredible job out of countering the last two, and though they are not -That-Good against Knights, during the Castle Age, their very low Food cost, small anti-cavalry bonus and still all-around decent stats make then food-effective against then. This is more important then it seems because, during the Castle Age, one of your priorities will be researching technologies and gathering the resources to go to the Imperial Age, so if you invest too much food in your army, you may lag behind technologically. I am still unsure if they are quite as good as Knights on the Castle Age, but they can cut it.

Hey Spirit, I thought I was going to pass away before you made the aztecs. Kudos for the great job :) Just 4 thoughts, (the first one is the most important tho): 1) friend of mine (TheGhostmaster) ran the same scenarios for which unique infantry is the best and he found something very interesting. In plain AoC the samurais own jags, hands down (I learned that the hard and painful way) however there is a kind of nerf for samurais in AoF/AoAK since now the matches are pretty even. 2) While the eagle unit line seems to have been nerfed, the fact that you can get eagles in feudal, you can actually pull a pretty decent (and even mortal) eagle scout rush, and keep spaming eagles while you go castle, that strat was not even posible in AoC 3) Atlatl seems to be bigger deal because a fully upgraded skirm has 9 range and 8 attack. Now it is very easy to counter an average brit attack, where in AoC aztecs where very vulnearable to a post-imp brit archer line. 4) Aztecs are kind of a "refined zerg rush", while most of us will agree the most zerg like civ are the goths, aztecs can spam military faster, and even when we know aztecs have not the best infantry (that is the japanese), it is the second best infantry combined with the faster spam speed, and with a very strong eco, you can actually spam units like mad man without caring about they are dead or alive, you just keep spamming until you overwhelm your enemy. Aztecs still have the worst tech tree in all AoE II (making a comparison with the Spaniards who have the most comprehensive tech tree in AoC), they usually will have an awful kill/deaths ratio, but aztecs win by the number. Thanks again for your analysis, I am not let down in anyway.
@rovsea-37618 жыл бұрын
It's arguable that access to the Eagle Warrior means Aztecs do, in fact, have the best Infantry in the game. The eagle scout rush is good for countering archers, I suppose, but I wouldn't call it a great feudal opening. Scouts are probably a stronger initial opening because they build much faster and in feudal have better stats. Eagle scouts in general also produce pretty slowly, so I'm not sure how effective they are. I'd agree that skirms which out range most civs' archer units completely are pretty powerful.

+Rovsea - Eagle Scout rushes are pretty powerful but you have to take advantage of the tight window where your opponent won't have out enough scouts or archers to counter your eagles. You can make 2 Barracks in the dark age when going up to feudal and then immediately queue up 2 eagles from each one when you get to feudal; they come out way faster than any archers or scouts could, because archery ranges/stables need barracks to be built, and can only be built in the feudal age. It takes at least 50 seconds before you'll even be able to queue up a scout cav, at which point 2 Eagle Scouts will already be about to come out. They aren't as good as raiding as scouts or mass archers, but they're quicker and can harass pretty early.

Time to clear up some misconceptions about the Aztec spear line. Against Cavalry: Halberdiers>Viking Pikemen>Aztec Pikemen Halberdiers enjoy a much higher damage bonus against cavalry than the other 2, and will kill cavalry faster as a result. Viking Pikes can also work well depending on the enemy cavalry they encounter. Their extra HP usually allows them to survive one extra attack unless against Elite Cataphracts, the longer they live, the longer their attack bonus comes into play. Aztec pikes aren't much better than generic pikes against cavalry because the flat bonus damage they get to cavalry overshadows the +4 attack from Garland Wars. Against other units: Aztec Pikemen>Halberdiers>Viking Pikemen This is where the +4 attack from Aztecs' UT shine. Aztec pikes deal 2 more damage than generic Halberdiers, and this really shines in a trash war. Viking pikemen, although the most durable, don't deal enough damage to be effective. They make better meat shields, but better meat shields is misleading information. If you are using the spear line to tank, you are using them wrong. Aztec pikemen are stronger against non-cavalry units at the cost of anti-cavalry capability, whereas Viking pikemen are straight up outclassed by Halberdiers.

One thing you might want to look into: The +5 carry bonus is extremely beneficial for AIs. One of the problems with AIs is that they constantly re-task villagers between different resources, wasting a lot of time. This bonus makes Aztecs one of the best civs for AIs, since the cost of this re-tasking is reduced.
@SpiritOfTheLaw8 жыл бұрын
maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't the Aztec bonus be worse for the AI if it redirects villagers a lot? Over the long-run they'll be carrying more resources than average when they're re-directed, which means more resources lost

I'm not exactly sure how AI re-tasking works, but The Offwo (one of the AI designers for the original Forgotten Empires mod) says that one of the reasons Aztecs are picked in AI tournaments is that the +5 bonus eliminates excessive re-tasking. I don't know if the UserPatch does anything to affect re-tasking that isn't available in HD, but it might be interesting to look at.

They could have otherwise been flawless but as it stands the skirms lack the last armor upgrade and the pikes of course miss halberdiers. Their monks are great though. Whenever I play singleplayer I make use of the pause key to micromanage them as best as possible (usually against a non-heresy civ). It's amazing what monks can do when you give them that kind of co-ordination. Wow, though! We made it through all the original civs and the FEs. I never got a chance to properly play with the AK civs (because my PC can't handle patch 4.3+ for some reason) but I can't wait to hear about them.

Where were you all these years, I played AoK and conquerers for many years (still suck at it :P) and looked for good videos on internet, and years after I quit this game (long before the hd version) you come with these awesome videos, make me wanna start playing this again. Keep up your good work man.

13:31 - Besides, the silly fact of carrying a shield and having no pierce armor kinda drives me nuts. May I recomend to do a quick video with the changes up to the Rajas expansions. Then, you can just put a link withing your old civ overviews and make it up for all at once. Good video, c ya!

Tho it might be affected in the long run, I never lost a match playing with the Aztecs. The Elite Eagle Warriors paired with the Jaguars are not to be messed around with.

7:00 loom for free is a great bonus for three reason, the third is that you can wall more safely without losing vills bc of wolfs

Mongols could beat them, their unique unit can kill most units with guerilla warfare. Otherwise, pick a civilization with Paladins, like Persians, Huns, Spanish and counter their trash units.

We've done it lads! Only the African Kingdom civs left to go. As usual, an excellent video! Personally, I want to see you cover the Portuguese next, but I enjoy all of the African Kingdom civs, they feel a lot more solid than the Forgotten Empires ones. Also, incoming salt about Aztecs not getting A+ for infantry! *cough cough* Celts are better *cough cough*
