Yesterday afternoon, I finished up the Montezuma campaign. Although most of the civilizations in the game have much in common, the Aztecs were somewhat unique. They did not have any mounted combat units of their own. Without cavalry, knights, and so forth, the battle tactics required were a bit different. The Aztecs had very nice ground troops, however. Between the Eagle Warriors and the Jaguar Warriors, the Aztec infantry was a match for anyone. I enjoyed the story line from the campaign quite a bit. It followed actual history pretty closely. Montezuma died during the campaign. The story is actually narrated by Cuauhtémoc, Montezuma's successor and the last of the true Aztec emperors. As Cuauhtémoc, I was able to rewrite history and drive out the greedy Spanish led by Hernán Cortéz.
