A desert and jungle-border dwelling people. What little I read on them is from Aztec research so I get the impression they are very behind in technology and civilization compared to the almighty Nahua.

If I were to be skeptical of the Aztec description, it would lead me to believe they were developed enough to have standing villages and bureaucracy. They would also be behind enough to retain many customs seen in the Navajo and other North American tribes.

They hat qt3.14 waifus too, senpai

Funny enough they gave the Spaniards a harder time than the Aztecs did. One chronicler said that Chichimecs considered it a bad shot if they aimed the arrows at ones eye and it went in between the eyes instead. Another which said a mere four chichimecs forced 50 spanish allied natives to retreat. And they refused to confront them again.

I could believe it. A less settled people would be a bitch to fight for the Spaniards and their allies - all of which are used to Aztecs and their "allies" throwing bodies at them like madmen

Medieval 2: Total War's depection must be really ahistorical. Not implying Total War is in any way historical but wouldn't have guessed it was this bad.
