so, the aztec horde DLC is out. anyone had some games yet and can comment on:
1. the frecuency of the invasions(every game or like 1 in 10)
2. their blobbing capabilities
3. how good the AI is at handeling them.
1. They will probably appear in every game if DLC is loaded. They are supposed to appear after 1250 (I think they appeared in 1253 or so in my campaign). In my case, first army landed in Iceland and second in Morroco
2. They conquer the entire country they landed in and after that attack the neighbors. They ended up conquering one Morroco province and entire Scandinavia (starting with Iceland) in my game but than rebellious vikings and HRE (which conquered Denmark from them) stopped them from expanding further and the Inca inventing gunpoweder event weakened them further. Around 25 years after they landed in Europe their rapid expansions stopped in my campaign
3. From what I have seen, Aztecs don't waste time in declaring full invasion wars if they find themselves at peace. However, if they are dealing with rebels they won't be starting new invasions.
For other nations, rebels form factions and rebel against them. Other nations, in my case Scotland, HRE and one Sultan, used that opportunity to kick Aztec sunny BLEEP's
