On which maps are Aztecs good as a team game flank and with which strategy?

I would like to get some experience with Aztecs but despite them beeing a top tier 1v1 civ, I struggle to see them thriving in team games. You get a great eco starting in feudal, you can get to imp faster, those seem to be the main advantages. But without thumbring, archers will be lacking starting mid castle and it doesn't get better in imp. Eagles could be decent but they struggle against knights from the pocket and you don't get halbs which could help with siege strategies.

What are your experiences, how do pros use them in team games and what important points am I missing?
