Nation description - Aztec
Name | Effect |
Legend of the Five Suns | Spend builder charges to complete 20% of the original district cost. |
Thanks to this ability you can easily make up for lacks in productivity of your new settlements or use builder charges to strengthen your capital. But remember to use it only when the situation really calls for because the time that is needed to recruit new builders is rather long in the beginning. Their primary task at this stage of the game is to build improvements that give a foundation for a development of a settlement. But, at the later part of the game, you can recruit them in your capital and send to new settlements to build new districts quicker. Thanks to that you can save a lot of time.
Name | Effect |
Gifts for the Tlatoani | Luxury resources in territory provides 2 additional amenity to cities. +1 to combat strength to units for each different luxury resource improved. |
Regarding the previous ability it should be noted that for military it is important to build improvements on luxury resources so you can't use all of the builders to reduce the costs for building districts. Luxury resources gives you additional amenities which in the beginning of the game can allow for a more dynamic development of your settlement and, in the later part, allows you to save a lot of production points and gold. Also, remember that in the case of resources what matters is their type, not the number of used sources so in order to use all of your resources you can raise your maximum number of combat units by 24 points because some of the resources can't be used by improvements. However, this bonus is still higher than the ones that can be generated by other nations.
Summary
Aztecs have a solid ground for creating a strong empire that can distinguish itself by its combat strength. You can use this to achieve domination but remember to not ignore them when they are used by someone else in a scenario. When playing as Aztecs it is important to keep the control on luxury resources and continuously making them more diverse.
