Sid Meier's Civilization V/The Aztecs

The Aztecs are one of the three most recognizable South American civilizations, famous for their practice of ritualistic sacrifice. The Aztecs are lead by Montezuma I, the fearsome emperor of the Aztec empire. The Aztecs have a unique playstyle due to their Unique Ability, letting them play aggressively while having a cultural victory to fall back on. With their strong early-game Jaguars and growth boosting Floating Gardens, the Aztecs can be a fresh and fun civilization for conquest.
