Aztecs (M2TW Faction)

Aztecs (M2TW Faction)
Name:	Aztecs
From Game:	Medieval II: Total War
Religion:	Pagan
Culture:	Mesoamerican
Playable:

The Aztecs in Medieval II: Total War are a non-playable faction which begins the game hidden in the Central American provinces on the far Western portion of the campaign map. This area is inaccessible for much of the early game, highlighted by the fact that it is shrouded in black fog. Once the campaign has progressed for long enough and triggered a certain technological 'discovery', all factions will find themselves able to build ships capable of navigating the deep Atlantic waters and sail to the Americas in an attempt to conquer the Aztec faction.

Difficulties playing as the Aztecs in the Grand Campaign

If you have enabled the Aztecs in the Grand Campaign (through mods such as the Custom Campaign Mod), 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.

However the Aztecs are a playable faction in the Americas Campaign of Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. They have been improved (in terms of getting additional agents, ancillaries, buildings, and traits) to suit this purpose.
