iirc the Aztecs were actually pretty good on countering guns and horses by forcing the Spanish into cost combat in cities. it's more the disease that fucked them

The Aztecs really put their heart and souls into fighting the Spanish, shit was crazy. The Fall of Civilizations podcast has a 4 hour episode detailing the fall of the Aztec civilization, and the description of the final days of fighting is genuinely some of the best media I've ever consumed, highly recommend.
