In conclusion, it's not just about the cost, you could equally argue the Italians, Portugese or even the Indians to some degree for that, but it is about how effective your force is going to be, which I would argue the Turks can do at least equally well as the Spanish.

In a support role or even as an effective force on the frontlines, the Turks have Hussars and especially have Cavalry archers which can truly be mass produced or at least soak up the damage, their CA are more durable with Sipahi. Their faster collection rates allow them to field more gunpowder units, these things together outweigh firing faster if you know what you're doing at all. Artillery is as effective as firing 15% faster because you can fire sooner, and again as long as you're using more than one of any given unit, the damage is good enough. How fast you fire isn't important when you have extremely powerful units Janissaries do more damage than Conquistadors, and the extra health is certainly nice for gunpowder units. The Jaguar Warrior is thus a heavy infantry unit who is strong against other. Their unique unit is the Jaguar Warrior, the highest rank of warrior in the Aztec army, wielding a wooden club studded with obsidian shards sharp enough to decapitate men and horses.

The Aztecs are a Mesoamerican civilization appearing in The Conquerors Expansion. Turks have free Chemistry, this is more about having instant access to gunpowder than the cost, although it sure does add up with the other bonuses they have geard for gunpowder A list of all civilizations in Age of Empires II.
