So I guess what my point (no pun intended) is that with a lot of sharpened obsidian rocks fastened to the side of a wooden club it would be just as sharp as any European metal sword and hypothetically a big burly Aztec might've been able to decapitate a horse with it.

    PS- I'm new and I'm looking forward to contributing every once in a while :)
    Yeah, it's like the ancient spearheads, sharper than todays modern lasers can get them. Incredible stuff.

    Only bad thing about Obsidian is that it dulls quicker than a blade.

    As for Aztecs being a dumb civilization, barely, they were the biggest empire in Mexico at the time. The only reason the Spanish beat them is loads of smallpox and allies. Saying they were dumb is quite frankly ignorant.

    As for the colours and regalia, I love it. It's what makes the Aztecs unique from the other factions. Ooh yay another European unit with plate armour, woop-dee-doo. The Aztecs have very interesting weapons and armour.

    As for the pinatas comment, look at some of the European soldiers, they were way more flamboyant than Aztecs
