Inca units

[Silver]

So I'm trying to play as Incas and find it more difficult to get a hang of them than the relatively simple infantry spam aztecs or archer spam mayans.

So far I assume Kamayuks are basically superior pikemen but cost gold, so really only useful if your enemies field quality cavalry that unsupported halberdiers, let alone pikemen would struggle to break.

I assume as an inca player you should instead focus on Slingers since they are supposedly better at taking out infantry than your foot archers are.

So slingers supported by Skirmishers with Andean Sling researched for the ideal anti-infantry, anti-archer army?

Considering you wont encounter cavalry anywhere in south america in the campaign, I find the kamayuk pretty limited in use?

The Kamayuk is also quite good against infantry due to its +1 range.

No, your main units are eagles and crossbows.
- You should basically play them like Aztecs, but you have way better pikes and arbalests but way worse monks.
- Slingers are situational because -1 damage (compared to xbows) is a big deal. They are great against infantry based compositions, but we usually use them against eagles/huskarls and big masses of champions. Otherwise, xbows are better all around.

The main problem with a skirms + slinger combo is that you die to compostions with lots of knights, light cav, skirms, scorpions or mangonels. And you should add need siege units to destroy buildings. But for the campaign against meso civs it should work fine along with siege rams or trebs.

Kamayuks are better than champions thanks to the +1 range. They are deceiptively powerful despite the unimpressive base damage.
