They also make appearances as AI players in: The Aztecs have a campaign devoted to their civilization: Montezuma. The Aztec economy is one of the strongest in the game, due to their villagers carrying +3 resources.

But their Monks are the best in the game with access to all religious technologies and an extra 5 HP for every one researched.

Their navy is weak, lacking almost everything apart from the fully upgradable Fast Fire Ship. The Aztecs are strong in the siege weapon department with Siege Rams, Siege Onagers, and Siege Engineers. Their archers are below average without Thumb Ring and Ring Archer Armor, but their Skirmishers are still very strong with Atlatl. The Aztecs possess some of the strongest infantry, despite lacking Halberdiers. As such, they lack any access to cavalry, including Cavalry Archers, by default, but since the Definitive Edition they can produce Xolotl Warriors from converted Stables. The Aztecs are a Native American civilization. Also, they start random map games with an Eagle Scout (an Eagle Warrior in The Conquerors) as a scouting unit instead of a Scout Cavalry. Thus, they completely lack Stables (and with it the entire cavalry branch) and cannons. The Aztecs did not have horses or gunpowder. They were famous for their bloody and ardent faith, with their Relics generating extra gold and their Monks receiving extra HP per each Monastery technology researched, allowing their Monks to join other soldiers on the battlefield. Being a highly military civilization, the Aztecs also have a general creation speed bonus across the board for all their military units. The Aztecs were also known as a hard working and innovative civilization, and their Villagers carry more resources (and got the Loom technology free before The Forgotten). Their Imperial Age unique technology, Garland Wars, references the 'flower wars' which the Aztecs organized among their allies in order to provide more sacrifices.

Their Castle Age unique technology, Atlatl, represents a tool employed by hunters and Warriors that was used for throwing spears or javelins. The Jaguar Warrior is thus a heavy infantry unit which is strong against other infantry units. Their unique unit is the Jaguar Warrior, the highest rank of warrior in the Aztec army, wielding a wooden club studded with obsidian sharp shards. The Aztecs are a Native American civilization introduced in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. The Aztecs' civilization music theme in the Definitive Edition
