I've always preferred the aztecs over the mayans, for no particular reason. But after thinking about it for a little bit, there seems to be no area, apart from the drush but I dont feel like thats a massive advantage, in which the aztecs beat the mayans. Flush, mayans, cheaper archers, castle age, mayans, plumed archers + cheaper xbows, imperial, mayans, cheaper arbalest, elite plumeds, better eagle warriors, post imperial, mayans, better trash killing eagle warriors and longer lasting resources. Although arguably aztecs have an advantage if they get the relics.
Thats my opinion, yet I see people rating aztec over mayan in many "best civ" lists.
Is the extra 50 gold, ie. 2 militia that big of an advantage?
Or is the +5 carry that much better than longer lasting resources?
Just to be clear, this is 1v1 arabia where it is an aztec vs mayan, not vs other civs.
