If you have enabled the Aztecs in the Grand Campaign (through mods such as the [[Custom Campaign Mod], or by removing the line of text that says "Undiscovered" in the descr_text file), beware if you want to play as this faction. This is due to the fact that you have no cavalry or artillery and no weapon or armor technology. Besides the lack of units, the Aztecs almost have no buildings. It is not recommended to play as them (the Aztecs), because it would be extremely difficult.
The Aztecs' main strengths is large numbers of both melee and missile infantry, allowing them to swarm opposing armies and rain missles to whittle their numbers. Their main weaknesses is featuring no cavalry or artillery units in their roster, susceptible to routing in the presence of discharged firearms and cavalry units, and having poor armour defense. Despite fielding large numbers the Aztecs can be easily routed by a technologically advanced enemy.
