Renaissance is at the very end of period that AoE2 covers, and Pikes are a lot harder to use so only Pan-Asian civ would have them as they have a standing army (maybe Itay too).

I think Eagle's role should be replaced by Puma Warrior which cost more 5 more food with 20 more hp and 2 more attacks, to make them take the role of infantry verison of Magyar Hussar that they are suppose to be (or bastard child of Huskarl and Woad). El Dorado should buff them instead.

Then the Eagles should cost 80 food like Hussar but get two less attack, while gainning +2 on archer units and buildings, so they can still do light raid and fight archers but weak against melee infantry; without El Dorado they are less Mayan would have a lot more transitional pain but can stand up to powerful Post-Imp Civ with the new Puma Warrior should they have enough gold to raise the army.

Aztec would have actual strong Cavalry-like unit and can still raid while on a back foot with the trashy Eagles.

Inca get the complete trash triade as well.
