Montezuma is an absolute f**king idiot

[antrahk36]

The clown literally has an obsession with declaring war on me. I'm playing as Japan going for a cultural victory but for the last 500 years the Aztecs have been constantly declaring war on me when I have done absolutely nothing to them.

They send all their troops over to try take my capital, but my cities are just insanely defended with jets, anti-aircraft guns and pretty much every weapon under the sun and the Aztecs get wiped out. I white peace them for 10 turns because they're infuriatingly stubborn, and until I get nuclear missiles, trying to take one of their cities would be a stalemate because they have a perpetual stream of units coming out of their capital.

The other AI are useless because they all like the Aztecs. But the guy doesn't stop declaring, it's actually running my country into the ground because of all the trade going in the toilet.

What is this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s problem? This is the first real issue I've had with him and I think he's the biggest idiot of all the AI's.

If you look back in history that he would always be paranoid and would thirst for conquest to expand the borders of his empire which lead to his downfall with the spanish

Play a game as Aztecs and you know why he is doing that. Answer: His UA provides culture from kills, so of course he wants to kill units, usually target is the closest civ (yuo in this case?). Only way to avoid him attacking you is to give him an other target.

Going for a culture victory as Japan, really? Japan gets culture from fishing boats and atolls, but it's not designed to give them an edge for a culture victory, purpose of that culture is actually opposite. That fishing boat culture is designed to be a defence against culture civs, so you are not influenced too easily. It's not enough for culture victory by itself. Any victory condition can be won with any civ and without any bonuses, at least up to King or Emperor difficulty level though.

That all seems kind of a lost cause for him though. I'm about to become influential with all the other civs and Monty is nowhere near winning. He has no tourism or influence over anyone else. (I'm 83% influential over him). And all the while he's willing to put his country through a deficit of about minus 60 gold per turn because of it.

Aztecs is not a culture civ either in BNW. Their culture is for getting lots of early policies and defending against tourism, just like Japan. AI don't know how to play as Aztecs properly. I thing that Aztecs are best for science victory in BNW, because of their food bonus, but they are one of the worst class civs regardless of the victory condition targeted. AI Aztec is just pure warmonger, but they don't have any bonuses for that once those Jaguars are obsoleted.

Aztecs are a vanilla Civ, all of which were not really inspired as much as their expansion counterparts. Still, Aztecs are suited for domination victories. Keep in mind the game isn't designed around meta-gaming, or more specifically capital sniping or abusing ranged units. Upgraded Jaguars keep their heal bonus. A constant influx of culture is great for picking up extra policies, which are great/essential for conquering multiple cities since large sources of happiness come from policies.

I also hope you are joking with the worst comment. They are no Poland and it is map dependent, but the growth potential is top tier, and the meta-game is all about fast growth regardless of victory condition.

I agree Aztecs are not designed for a cultural win, but are decent at science. I can win against Babylon on Immortal level, but I might have to resort to nuclear whack-a-mole.

Why not try to play with random personalities?
