I love the Aztecs. Just thought I'd add, they aren't actually called Aztecs. That's what the Spanish called them. They're called Mexica. Another interesting thing is that the second largest language spoken in Mexico by the Mexican citizens is called "Nahuatl", the original Mexica language is spoken by over a million people. And on top of that, we actually did defeat Spain during the "Chichimeca War", in which afterwards, we fought our war for independence from Spain defeated them twice otherwise our country would be called "Nuevo Espana (New Spain)". But since we the Mexica defeated the Spanish, we called the nation what it's original name was, Mexico. So whenever you guys hear about Mexico. It's cool to think that we are what people would know as the modern "Aztec Republic" or "Mexica Republic".
The Mexicans are exactly the same people as the Aztecs. When the Aztecs move from Aztlán (Their native land) and found Tenochtitlan, his prime god, Huitzilopotchli, gave them the name of "Mexicans".
Cleopatra is the one that gives you food for trade routes to her. Also dont leave Harald alone for too long, if he gets enough Beserkers out then you could be in trouble.
As somebody who really, really likes the Aztecs and mesoamerican cultures in general their unique stuff in 6 really makes no sense compared to in 5. I don't see how the luxary resource thing related to them at all. While the ball court does make sense, the floating gardens did so much more given how important hydroculture was to Tenochtitlan historically and how fast it's population grew, rivaling Constantinople's in only 200 years. Likewise, capturing workers makes no sense since the aztecs sacrificed their war prisoners, so, again, the culture bonus on kills from 5 makes more sense.
Jabberwockxeno you know aztecs had jaguar warriors and eagle ones. i think the developers should make the game with them more versatile around this units. like eagle being an unique unit replacing scouts with almost the same strength as a normal warrior (like shoshoni trackers) and their promotions (at least the first one) be double movement in jungle or forest and to not be affected by zone control (the shit that doesnt let you move around a hostile unit) and the jaguar (replace warrior duh) has a little bit more strenght but killing units with him gives more exp and prophet points. their first promotions would be little more strength in forest or jungle tiles with plus 5 healing in those tiles. and not be affected by zone control.
Luxuries were a big thing for the army since the more prisoners they captured the more ranks and luxuries they were given. As for the chinampas I'm guessing they just wanted to add something new
The builders are war prisoners??? They’re literally turned into builders.... as in slaves. Then, you can sacrifice them in order to speed up production on districts.
Hey Drew, i just noticed at 3:51 if you switch the tiles you can see the difference of your food/production turns just under the housing information, it says now 5 and 21 turns, so you dont have to wait one more turn to find out! Btw great channel, i love the Civ-Series and played it since Civ 3, but i just discoveredy your channel some days ago and binge-watch the Civ-6 Playlists, keep on the work! You are doing awesome videos, quality of playing the game and entertainment are perfect!
Drew because you weren't sure how much faster you would grow by taking the 3 food tile in the beginning. Even though the timers on the city don't update immediatly when you switch, it does show you the accurate numbers in the overview at the bottom right. Growth went from 7 to 5 turns and the unit production from 16 to 21 turns.
Drew, you really don't need to ALWAYS have mountains for your campuses. While it is a bonus, the buildings you put in the districts often supremely overpower the bonuses as the game goes on.
Hey Drew! What's your video "schedule" when posting on your channel? I'm super excited about this lets play series and I want to know what days to tune in! Thanks!
I know I'm late to the ball game here but if tomyris ever pops up within the first 10 turns by turn 25 I'm attempting to take her out, even if I'm not going for a domination win. She's terrifying.
On Emperor! No chance, the AI will be done building it before you even have the tech unlocked. Even with a perfect setup its still really hard to get early wonders on higher difficulties, I started the Pyramids really early in my Germany game but I still had to reload and cut down 3 forests to finish it with one turn to spare.
Plays Aztecs. Has Diamonds and plains hills rainforest in one turn's worth of movement away. Doesn't settle on the diamonds. Aaaaaaand, I'm turning the video off.

You mean the Aztecs I think you're getting the Aztecs confused with the Mexicans and calling them Mexica. It's a common mistake I don't blame you.
The Mexicans are exactly the same people as the Aztecs.
When the Aztecs move from Aztlán (Their native land) and found Tenochtitlan, his prime god, Huitzilopotchli, gave them the name of "Mexicans".
The Chichimecas were not the Aztecs they were a different ethnical group.
Nice
"The Eagle Warriors are the best early game unit by far" Well now.
War carts>Eagle warriors
Cleopatra is the one that gives you food for trade routes to her. Also dont leave Harald alone for too long, if he gets enough Beserkers out then you could be in trouble.

The intro made laugh so hard I dropped my phone •_•
Nolan Casimir OMG same ahaha

They captured prisoners during the flower wars, that's true.
But those prisoners, were meant to be a sacrifice to the gods...
Luxuries were a big thing for the army since the more prisoners they captured the more ranks and luxuries they were given.

So far it looks good can't wait for the other videos.

Whenever I play as the Aztecs i dont even bother building a slinger or a builder.
Just eagle warriors, until I steal 5 or 7 cities
I cried when he picked Foreign Trade as his second civic. Aztecs should go for craftsmanship every time so they can build eagle warriors faster.
Drew, you really don't need to ALWAYS have mountains for your campuses. While it is a bonus, the buildings you put in the districts often supremely overpower the bonuses as the game goes on.
Norway declared war on tomyris at the end
I saw that, lol
Hey Drew! What's your video "schedule" when posting on your channel? I'm super excited about this lets play series and I want to know what days to tune in! Thanks!
You need to finish the Indian game!
I took out another player with Cleopatra's help VERY early game and omg it's so freaking good Domination is so much fun
I've been waiting for someone to do Aztec gameplay YES!!
Very excited for this series! :)
I'm so happy I have all ways loved playing the Aztecs and now you are playing him so happy
that intro was so good :D
Drew, when you change your tiles worked, the number of turns that it takes to grow and produce things updates in the bottom right corner of the ui.
gandhi is waiting for you...
"our demands are backed up by nuclear weapons".
Woah, drew used to actually play?
The Barbarian gods have heeded our call!
I know I'm late to the ball game here but if tomyris ever pops up within the first 10 turns by turn 25 I'm attempting to take her out, even if I'm not going for a domination win. She's terrifying.
Let's go Aztecs! #SDSU
thankfully foolish drew will not notice me till later
Wooo! But what happened to Gandhi?
Gandi nuked himself
i died when he said crack lord loves coffe
I hope Drew plays as Russia next!
When I just barely miss first by 3 minutes...
Omg, a video where drew is playing
9:23 Did you not see Nidaros' Population drop like a bad habit? You could have quickly killed them then moved on to Tomyris.
More please
DREW WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU DIDN'T GO TO WAR WITH TOMYRIS!
Is it just me or did I hear a ring at 10:06
Jesus Finally a No mods one.
what happened to the India let s play ?
How do you get rid of the city states. Is it obvious and I missed it or not?
He may have moded it I really hate city state because they just take up land you could have used
Joshua Pritchard go in to advanced settings, it's a type of meter thing there wich says city states. Turn it down to zero
do marathon deity with barbarian drew!!!
Just started the video and I immediately feel sorry for him that he is starting off next to scythia
Why can't I see the fights play out?
hey guys anyone know what the mod to disable the city states ? , drew please man you should say what mods you are running , love ya
Ak Ak if u go to advanced settings u can slide the city state meter all the way to the left meaning zero city states
You should take advantage of your position to make money to upgrade units quickly
can u make a civ game with your friends
Lol Drew doesn't have any friends.
Play with the MOAR UNITS mod!
How does the turn end so fast?
Hi, how do you play as the aztecs?
It was a preorder bonus. Everyone will get it after 90 days which should be tomorrow.
Jamessy65 depending on where you are, example- I found them in my menu this evening. I live on the Pacific Northwest of the USA
You landet in Panama City
Oh sheet
Drew
Drew, Build Pyramids !!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Emperor! No chance, the AI will be done building it before you even have the tech unlocked. Even with a perfect setup its still really hard to get early wonders on higher difficulties, I started the Pyramids really early in my Germany game but I still had to reload and cut down 3 forests to finish it with one turn to spare.
If he will take out all of the world he might have a chance.
Oh yea yea
It's a small world after all...
He should do more civ but like a American revoltion
Diego Cruz it should be an American
Aztec eagles
I need to do this too. I will not because of Gandhi´s stupid Nuke or Scythian Horde. Thanks Cracklord
Petr Vilímek wait your profile picture makes me dizzy, are you Slovak or Czech?
I am from Czech republic. In Slovakia it´s called Peter. Why ?
Petr Vilímek oh nothing, i just wondered because i saw both country balls on your pic
Whamuu!
Could you maybe not include spoilers in the intro?
Tbh wasn't much of a spoiler, plus it had good comedic timing so it worked well as an intro.
Sgt.Boris ye but I knew sythia was next to him and it would be funnier if I didnt see it coming
👍
apocalypto
