All of Mictlan's normal troops are very low cost in gold. The 8 resource ones can fill much the same role as C'Tis elite warriors. The 14 resource troops have enough survivability to take an arrow without necessarily dying, which is mostly what you need early game. The sacred warriors are all quite useful, although the sun warriors are too slow to move to the front. Jaguar warriors make decent flankers, and can take down high protection units fairly easily. Eagle warriors are great for swarming archers. Slaves come in huge numbers once you get a couple dozen tribal kings capturing them, and they make a great cannon fodder layer to protect your more expensive troops. Mass protection is also highly useful, since it boosts their protection to the point where they won't die quite as quickly. I tend to take a Mausoleum with Mictlan, but mostly for the gold bonus from administration.
