  • the Sioux stress the cavalry. The latter makes it possible to create a varied, powerful and resistant army only made up of riders.

  • the Aztèques start with a warlike priest (being able to accompany the war leader). The Aztec ones fight by the only force of the infantry. As of old III, new units of infantry are available, these last being of a great power.
