New Reskins for Mesoamerican Civs (Aztecs, Incas, Mayans) | Age of Empires 2

[@Jel.Awesh.M]

It looks amazing! Just one thing, only Mayans (and maybe Aztecs) belongs to Mesoamerica, Incas lived in the south part of America.

I really like the infantry units. The arbalester I feel should be reskinned as a bow and arrow unit, and the skirmisher could still throw a spear but just change it's outfit. Good ideas!

Xolotl is pronunced as sholotl. The champion is a very accurate jaguar Warrior, even more than vanilla uu. Slingers should be only for incans, mesoaméricans used bows. Iroquois use axe, i cannot see but if is an iron axe then is out of place for mesoamérica. At least for mayans and aztecs, because only tarascans (the worst enemies of the aztecs) and incans used metals on their weapons... Axes on that case. I would incluyed replace ships too in your video. Also, good selection for music, very aztec. 😏

[@kylethomas9130]

I remember when I played the Aztec campaign, I only ever trained the units unique to the mesoamerican civs. Jaguar Warriors, Eagle Warriors, Monks (who did get a reskin), and the mounted and gunpowder you unlock during one of the missions. Because they felt on theme to the story being told. As an adult I realize I had some pretty bad matchups, and probably spent way too much gold.

[@ratoimariurs5323]

Tlacalhuazcuahuitl which is the aztec blow gun would be a good replacement for hand cannonner also aztecs did have bows they would call them Tlahhuītōlli, and the archer line should be replaced with tequihua the champions would be The Shorn Ones, a Papalotl would be replacement for two handed swordsman, a Cuextecatl would be replacement for long swordsman, for the aztecs, the man at arms should be replaced with Tlamanih, the atlatl is perfect replacement for skirmshers.

Looks good but there should be done some significant changes with generic military units. First of all longswordsman should be splited from 2handed swordsman. Longswordsman should be archer resistant infantry and 2handed swordsman would be heavy infantry with huge mele armor just like Teutonic knight and area attack. Few civilization should get acces to it. Spearman should be separated from pikeman and be upgradeable to halbardier, but pikeman would be heavy infantry with lots high melee armor and be upgradeable to heavy pikeman. They would be resistant in melee fight just like pikeman in stronghold games. Skirmisher should be trainable in the barracks and operate as infantry unit with rechargeable ability to throw a javelin. They would get similar bonus attack vs archers just like huscarl does. Movin on to the archery range. Archers and crossbow should be separated. Archer should get longer range. Crossbow would have shorter range but high bonus attack vs infantry. Cav archer is fine but with parhian tactics is would get an ability to attack while moving and it should slow them down a bit so that units chasing them would be able to catch up for example cavalary units. Handcannoner would ignore armor. And what’s more important all range units should have longer range, deal more damage, have accuracy just like arambai and reload longer. Moving on to the stables. Scout and light cav should be separated. All civs who get access to camels could gain access to camel scout instead of regular scout. Lancers shouldn’t be regional units because there are many civs that used lances in battles like Magyar hussars, leitis or infamous winged hussars. Pop of cavalary units should depend on how many stables u currently own. Each one of them would provide 10 pop for cav units.

[@DemonAgeOfEmpires2-wf8lv]

@@quaintserpent you know I've never understood how the crossbow in this game have longer range that a bow. Expect Longbowmen of course. I feels strange but I think we got used of it. And most of your points are valid, but it would need to remake the whole game at this point. These changes should have been done when the game came first out. Other than that very interesting comment.
