Late Game Army Composition - Aztecs

Post by jj0823 »

Late game Aztecs. What do you think?
Obviously pretty strong with 10 WP War Dance, but what unit comp really drives it over the edge? I have been playing some Aztec (and still losing to Iro/Otto lamers, I don't know why I even click in to them) and it seems like the early comp of Coyote/Mace/Puma is pretty strong. Once you hit fortress, Puma definitely get replaced by ERK, but I am torn on the other two. Do you go full noble hut units, or stick with Mace and Coyotes? JPK are great, but they are slow and I still feel like Coyotes do a better job than them. Mace are the only real ranged counter infantry unit available.

I usually maintain a large amount of coyotes (they are cav after all and even faster than cav after you send the "coyote combat" card), keep large amounts of mace vs heavy inf/goons and have some Eagle Runner Knights to face big groups of cav. Mix in few arrow knights vs cannons and buildings and you're good to go. The mercenary card that boosts HP of mace and attack of coyote are pretty good IMO as well.

Cheers!

ERK are great, maces are okay. Also, in 1v1 sup games you should have the explorer card and then firepit revive using the cover mode bug (the hero revives in covermode but with full speed, which is like 7 speed with the age 3 card, and full attack) and then occasionally spam some extra skull knights (because you can counter this OP explorer by going melee but skull knights beat melee).

Although I guess this can be considered as abusive.
