The Skull Knight is a very powerful infantry unit of the Aztec civilization with a lot of Hit Points, but with a low speed and no ranged attack, very vulnerable against Artillery. It is very strong in melee combat because he is equipped with an attack that hits every one around him.
It can be trained from the Fire Pit with Garland War Dance.

[edit] History
In the Aztec society, members of a Calpulli decided the religious and secular education of every individual except for the training that he recived. The Members of a Calpulli served in combat together. The most feared division from the Aztec military were the Skull Knights.
The original name of the Skull Knights was "Tzitzimitl". Their looks were similar to an undead monster which often caused enemies to flee instantly. They were armed with large sticks of stone and wood.
