Best Troops
Moctezume is not about troops types at all and the only real thing you’d do with him is rally barbarian forts early game with him, so bring a huge mixed army and that works out well.
Best Commander Pairing for Moctezuma
Minamoto deals massive damage and you can get additional 100% extra damage to neutral units with this pairing (See full build here).
Guan Yu does not provide any additional damage to neutral units but has som healing and they can do well together as well, espcially with the area damage Guan Yu provides (See full build here).
Yi-Seong Gye (YSG) is a commander that also provides area damage and skill damage increase (See full build here).
Cao Cao has a similar kit as Moctezuma and also adds more damage to neutral units which comes in very hand against neutral units (See full build here).
Diaochan is an epic pairing that can make sense with her healing factor and the additional EXP gained against neutral units (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Moctezuma
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Moctezuma that make sense when running as the primary commander in any march in Rise of Kingdoms. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.

This is the build you would use to rally barbarian forts with Moctezuma as the primary commander in earlier stages of a kingdom until better commanders become available. There’s no bigger picture of this build, it’s simply investing into those talents that make sense and give the biggest bang for your buck, adding march speed, stats and rage generation for Moctezuma zu cycle through his skills faster.
Best Formation + Armaments
Formation and Armaments are supposed to work perfectly with your commanders kit or you will find yourself very quickly in a disadvantage on the battlefield – and with so many variations it can be tough to stay on top. Here is what the works best in today’s meta:
