| - Eagle Warriors replace the cavalry for the Native American civilizations. Consequently, the Aztecs and Mayans start the game in The Conquerors with an Eagle Warrior as a scout. Since The Forgotten, they have to be upgraded from their newly introduced predecessor, the Eagle Scout. As a logical consequence, the Eagle Scout replaces the Eagle Warrior as the starting scouting unit for the Native Americans.
- The life of Aztec warriors was one of constant battle, as the primary purpose for this continual warfare was to take prisoners to be sacrificed to their gods. As the Aztec empire expanded, however, the expansion of the empire in size and power became increasingly important.
- Eagle warriors are a special unit of Tzan, focusing on the eagle as their totem animal. Like the other totemic warriors, symbolism related to the totem animal features in their equipment, abilities and doctrine. Eagle warriors are very fast infantry units with a long sight range and therefore make great scouts. They have less camouflage than ordinary warriors or scouts, and indeed their flashy armor and non-subtle movement easily betrays them, despite camouflage skills equal to the other Tzanite units.

- The life of Aztec warriors was one of constant battle, as the primary purpose for this continual warfare was to take prisoners to be sacrificed to their gods. As the Aztec empire expanded, however, the expansion of the empire in size and power became increasingly important. In current culture, the eagle warrior is a representation of the Aztec culture, and therefore the Mexican tradition. Some companies use the eagle warrior as a symbol that denotes strength, aggressiveness, competitiveness, and obviously remembrance of the ancient cultures of Mexico. AeroMexico's logo, for instance, shows a cuāuhtli.
- Eagle warriors are a special unit of Tzan, focusing on the eagle as their totem animal. Like the other totemic warriors, symbolism related to the totem animal features in their equipment, abilities and doctrine. Eagle warriors are very fast infantry units with a long sight range and therefore make great scouts. They have less camouflage than ordinary warriors or scouts, and indeed their flashy armor and non-subtle movement easily betrays them, despite camouflage skills equal to the other Tzanite units. Eagle warriors are armed with spears, giving them a ranged attack, and inflict bonus damage against meelee cavalry units, clerics and slightly less bonus damage against Coyote warriors and siege engines. They can also enter meelee combat, but do substantially less damage overall in close combat. While maintaining their damage bonuses, they receive a penalty against civilians in close combat. Finally, their armament makes them ineffective against buildings. Eagle warriors are themselves resistant to ranged attacks (+30) and Morale damage, but because of their light armor, they are "soft" targets that almost any other infantry unit will be highly effective against. Larger guns, which suffer against infantry not because of armor, but because of accuracy issues, are unaffected by this and will still be ineffective against eagle warriors as they are against any other infantry target, as eagle warriors maintain the same evasion and cover towards large guns that infantry units have in general - and more than that, as its ranged resistance works against large guns. With advance in level, eagle warriors can learn several spell-like abilities related to their totem, making them in a way similar to the Dragoon. The high magical background field of Gondwana affords its inhabitants with a variety of alterations. These can be suppressed through rigorous self-discipline and ritual, or they can be embraced, and guided.
