The SI event mentions the Incas using "Thunder Sticks" and the Aztecs only holding them back with their newly-acquired Cavalry (and, presumably, metalsmithing/siege techniques). Still though, people don't give the Aztecs a lot of credit for their technology, which was really quite good - just somewhat lacking in metallurgical skills. With some luck, they could have beaten Cortez - or rather, less luck on his side. That said, it's not hard to code in an Aztec Cultural Building.
Code:

Just drop this into 00_buildings.txt in the castle section. Buffs light infantry and heavy infantry in the same way as the Aztec Retinue, and provides some as well. I went with culture_group = mesoamerican, but you could replace that with culture = nahuatl if consistency with the Retinue matters to you.
You'll also need this dropped in a .csv in localization

I didn't include french/german/spanish translations because I don't speak any of them well enough to be confident, but it's not hard to add.
