Aztecs Guide – Dominate with Early Aggression!
In Rise of Nations, the Aztecs aren’t here to sit back and chill — they’re built for early-game domination!
If you love charging into battle, overwhelming your opponents before they even know what hit them, the Aztecs are your perfect pick. 
Let’s jump right into how the Aztecs turn early aggression into total control!
What Makes the Aztecs Dangerous?
The Aztecs are all about early warfare and resource advantage.
Here’s why they’re scary:
- Cheaper Military Upgrades: Get stronger armies faster than other nations.
- Plunder Bonuses: Every city you capture showers you with bonus resources — making it easier to keep the war machine rolling.
- Early Economy Focus: Aztec farms and cities pump out resources faster, giving you the edge to field massive armies early.
Pro Tip:
The Aztecs are strongest when the world is still disorganized — hit fast, hit hard, and keep hitting.
Aztec Domination Strategy – How to Play It Right
1. Rush Military Buildings
Skip the slow build-up! Focus early on barracks and stables to pump out units quickly.
2. Farm Like a Boss
Aztecs get extra resources from farming — so don’t neglect your farms. A strong food income means a bigger, faster army.
3. Attack Weak Neighbors Early
Look for the closest enemy who’s slow to expand — and crush them. Taking cities early gives you plunder resources and puts fear into the hearts of your other neighbors.
4. Snowball the Advantage
Every city you capture fuels the next attack. Use the bonus resources to build even more armies and more upgrades.
5. Pressure, Pressure, Pressure
Don’t sit back after one victory. The Aztecs win by staying aggressive — keep marching forward and force your enemies to play defense all game long.
