Aztecs Overpowered

Yeah, not good idea to use VHI against them, especially due to moral issues. Put a carrocio standart close to them this may helps.

Anyway, cavalry and gunpowder is the way to beat them. Without cavarly they are incredible weak against charges from heavy infantry, and especially, missile cavalry. About gunpowder, well, it's use is simple, put your gunpowder units between heavy infantry, but slightly on front. Fire at them. When they come after them, retreat for the space you left between your heavy infantry units (but slightly behind it), and they will came after you. Then your heavy infantry will attack them from their sides and they will start fighting. Then, while you come for behind and charge to their rear with heavy cavalry (they have no armor so the results will be awesome for you), you continue to shot at them since you will still have a clear sight of them, with no friendly units between you and them. While fighting heavy infantry from their left and right side, being charged from behind with heavy cavalry and being food cannon from musketers on their front, carnificine is inevitable.To avoid massive routs, put some carrocio and your general close to your units. Then zoom in and enjoy the show. This tactic works so well, i love it

Apparently Aztecs do get cavalry. When I took their last city their remaining General went Rebel. And now they get a European Feudal Knight-style Generals Bodyguard unit. Bizarre.

Well, it seems you will need to bring piques for the New World after all

Use heavy infantry and a very high chivalry general even better when he has traits like brave. ohh and I almost forgot anti units cannons.
