Garland Wars is a technology unique to the Aztecs that can be researched at the Castle. Once researched, this technology will increase Infantry attack by +4, making their infantry one of the most lethal in the game.
Strategy
It is this upgrade, coupled with Jaguar Warriors, which in many cases, can more than make up for their civilization's lack of cavalry units and make even the Eagle Warrior a reasonably effective combatant. Even Teutonic Knights will receive a quite significant damage, allowing Jaguar Warriors to defeat them in some circumstances, especially in mass battles.
History
โ | 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. | โ |
