the truth about aztec..

[Aaryn_GenD]

hey,
i have read some great things reagarding aztec :-)
their fenching school card decreases the train time of their WP by ALOT too!

after sending 3 WPs and fencing school, to mass army faster and WP too, you'll have 10WP out at no time.

did anybody of you knew this?? macabee?

imagine training villies super fast with this, or after you got some army to use attack dance on.

i think this should be sent after the initial military shipments you use as aztec with a bit of harassing.
you can practically outboom, outmass every civ (besides brits regarding outbooming)

your thoughts on this

I've never heard of it decreasing warrior priest train times. It says on the card that it only decreases war hut units so that would mean cyotes maces and pumas. Also I can easily counter boom brits once I hit age 3 with the aztecs with just 2 tcs. 10 warrior priests on fertility dance with 2 tcs = 2 vils every 3 seconds = vil pop skyrockets past brits.

Though my only problem is to know when to stop booming and make units. Once I start I usually don't stop till I'm attacked or I hit age 5.

Yeah, it decreases WP training time.

[James246]

Mega-boom material!

I think all good Aztec players already know this. ::/

yeah michael its not the card next to the macehultain card shipments its the "european" fencing school decreses all infantry training, yea knew about it, theres just much better cards to send imo, and theres not really much spare age 2 shipments with 5+4 vil 600g 5 coy, coy combat, 6 puma 10+9 mace, 3 Wp. i think fencing school as a whole isnt very useful until late game, especially when 250 wood for a 2nd warhut increases military production by 100%

[Hydrovert5]

Fencing school is useful late game when your economy is booming and you need infantry quicker.

Like treaty, for instance.

[I__CHAOS__I]

I've used that card many times in the past to get 10 WP's out sub 6 min.
really strong, but shipment rush is just more popular and easier

Doesn't it make you wish you could have like 15 age ii cards LOL. That's aztec in the current state of affairs anyway.

[I__CHAOS__I]

spam age I cards too

[Aaryn_GenD]

you are all right, aztec got too many useful age2 shipments to add in the fencing school, which comes in handy rather later in the game.

i'm not surprised you knew this drew :-)

in addition, ther's another card which has "hidden talents": the SilkRoad one for ottos.
not only does it increase the content of each crate, which everybody knows, it also increases the resources that stagecoach gives you by 15%, too.

since the card is not useful in 1v1 anymore because it got nerfed long itme ago, i think it could have limited use in team games with a couple of tps available for you :-?

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Silkroad has been known for a long while :p

i know that he card is known by everybody, but who knew that it also increases stagecoach food, wood and coin income :-P

[Sporting_Lisbon]

That's what I'm saying, most people knew it increased stagecoach :p
