Garland Wars is a technology in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors that is unique to the Aztecs and can be researched at the Castle once the Imperial Age is reached. Once researched, it increases infantry attack by +4, making their infantry some of the most lethal in the game.
Strategy[]
With Garland Wars, Aztec infantry are almost unrivaled in melee combat, especially when their Jaguar Warriors are factored in. Even Teutonic Knights will struggle against the Jaguar Warrior, given their lower cost. Eagle Warriors arguably appreciate the bonus the most, as they have low attack and are commonly used for raiding. Their Pikemen are better than the average Halberdier in one-on-one, but still fall behind when fighting against cavalry.

History[]
| “ | When the normal competition between cities and states did not produce enough sacrificial victims for rituals, the Aztecs and their neighbors organized garland or flower wars for the purpose of increasing supply. The warriors of these societies went off to these wars with enthusiasm, knowing this was their opportunity to win glory and status. | ” |
