So I was just playing to get the Steam achievement (which resulted in coal), and stumbled across a seemingly undefeatable build order for the aztecs. I thought I would share it with you guys if you wanted to get a little more time in the game and win a few online matches.
Build gatherers until 8 nonstop
Buy dart blowers first thing
make them every chance you get while still producing workers
around 8 workers, either go jaguar warriors or cage trap.
If the enemy has a necromancer, go warrior, if they go warriors, cage them and let the dart blowers deal with it.
build up to 10 workers whenever you have time if you haven't won already.
Generally after this point you've already won, or will win shortly.
Just continue producing counters to whatever the other guy makes, and use spells as you see fit. Sadly, mind control is one of the worst spells for the aztecs... but it can be used well, here's how:
build TONS, tons, of cheap dart blowers and warriors, you'll need them to sacrafice. You're going to be using sacrafice any time one of your units get weak to benefit from their death, and then anytime a big enemy unit is produced, sac a full strength warrior to get the mana and mind control their big unit. This is extremely economy efficient and will work great. Once you have the upper hand, you'll need to transition into other spells, or bigger units. Otherwise, just win by pumping out warriors.
Sorry for going overboard, but playing this after Starcraft2 is like going to lego's after building a mansion. Really refreshing and a nice change. I'll post other factions strategies if there's interest.
Have fun!
