The Mayans and teammates also have 50% cheaper walls, which allows them to protect their economy from raids. Resources remaining 15% longer is also a strong bonus. They start with an extra villager, but with -50 food, which saves the player's Villager creation time. This allows the Mayans to field a fast and durable force that can handle most threats. Their Eagle Warriors gain an extra forty hit points with the Mayan unique technology El Dorado. Plumed Archers work well when used in conjunction with Eagle Warriors, who can knock out the Skirmishers and siege weapons that can easily kill the Plumed Archers. In groups their lower attack is mostly negated and if outmatched can easily escape due to their high speed. Their unique unit is the Plumed Archer, an archer with better hit points, armor, speed but lower attack. Their archers decrease in cost every single age, making them the cheapest of any civilization.
The Mayans are one of the strongest archer civilizations. 5 Compared advantages and disadvantages.3.4 Strategy changes in Lords of the West.3.3 Strategy changes in the Definitive Edition.3.2 Strategy changes in The African Kingdoms.
