nice i forgot about that just think how could turn out if aztec didnt get the diseases

k first off aztects are very good can beat almost any civ. agains spain all you need is jags backed by eagle runners with 25 on attack dance eagles own all horses and heavy infantry and jags will keep lancers from getting close alos dont forget that aztects can get a army over 300 for first attack so max out army and then select all big buttun upgrades giving you more units adding up to over 300 population put your villagers on atttack dance spain wont tough you. also use eagles to kill donkes or stealth jags to get close and drop missonarys

dont use aztecs vs spanish, spain is one of the best civs in treaty with missionaries....and aztewcs arent very good at all.....so well, i would recommend you to play spain, france or russia.  io dont really lioke op civs, but its the only way to play against them

Yes i agree that you should not use them against spanish however they are a very good civ if used correctly and take practice to master and perfect. I have a question does the missonaries effects stack, when they are together.

Yes, having all 10 missionaries nearby grants +63% damage and even effects petards, and ships. Aztecs, like all native civs had the fire pit nerfed in the last TAD patch.

Missionaries get 10% ranged resist, over 400 hps, 8.5 or so speed and no unit has any type of damage bonus against them since they are not cavalry, etc. They are alot harder to kill than you might think, especially due to their speed.

Their aura range is big enough that they don't have to stand right behind the attacking units to buff them with the aura, and the damage increase when applied to artillery is enough to instantly kill huge chunks of infantry in a single shot(even if they have over 800 hps).

In laggy team games, missionaries seem impossible to kill when they are mix into the units.

Example of missionary range.

That outer edge you can see would only be getting the benefit of 8 of the missionaries though(if their formation was straightened up a bit, instead of at that angle but I was getting tired taking screenshots and wanted to play a legitimate game), the two in back are out of range of the units.

I'm lazy though I still haven't tested to see if you can overpopulate with missionaries(and deal something like 80% bonus damage, if the typical stacking pattern is applied to the extra missionaries) if you have a Japanese ally who sends the x2 Team Missionary card when already at the 10 missionary limit.

Well i did not really know that to well thanks for clearing that up for me
