So by using these Puma Spearmen, the Aztecs have the unique ability to bring powerful siege damage to bear very quickly. Furthermore, the Spearmen shrug off 20 percent of hand-to-hand damage. They do 5x damage to cavalry, and triple damage to light infantry, which are a common infantry counter early in the game. They don't cost any wood, leaving that resource free for important structures; they even go for a nice round sum, at 50 food and 50 gold. Since I suck at math, this makes it easier to calculate how many Puma Spearmen can build, as opposed to units that cost something like 105 food and 35 wood, so I just keep clicking until the clicks don't take anymore because I've run out of a necessary resource.

So congratulations to the Aztec's Puma Spearman from the War Chiefs expansion for Age of Empires III. You are the winners of this week's Unit of the Week award. Unfortunately, you were wiped out by Spaniards and small pox 500 years ago, so the award will have to be presented posthumously.
