Macehualtin

The Macehualtin is the basic Aztec light infantry unit with a decent attack and acceptable range. It is best used against heavy infantry units. Provided with a cotton vest, a sling and a shield, it is the weakest and least expensive Aztec unit. They are featured in The WarChiefs. They are similar to the Russian Strelet though they are more expensive than it and have slightly more htp. The Macehualtin is best used in the Colonial Age when the majority of armies are composed of Infantry. In the later ages the Macehualtin gets defeated easily by Cavalry and Artillery.

It can be trained from the War Hut in the Colonial Age.
