Can I get a clarification on how many cuauhchique and huitzilopochtli priest elements are allowed in a competition army. The description in the notes takes a bit of reading. If the army is for competition games do I upgrade all of the ehuatl bases in the unit to priests (for a maximum of 2 units upgraded with priests) or is there a base limit eg 4 as there is in non competition armies?

two units each containing 2 to 4 ēhuatl warriors bases upgraded as Priestly led. So you can have 8.

This appears to be the correct answer and all the Ēhuatl warriors bases in such units must be regraded to cuauhchique and huitzilopochtli priests and the calpolli the the unit(s) regraded to the Tribal type.

Ok but as the army list states :
QuoteNote: In non-competition games the player may choose to represent cuauhchique as a single element of Infantry, Tribal Loose, Exceptional, Protected, Devastating Chargers, Melee Expert;
a huitzilopochtli priest as a single element of Infantry, Tribal Loose, Exceptional, Unprotected, Devastating Chargers - to replace an ēhuatl warrior in the front rank. Only 2 elements of each type should be permitted.

It does not state "only 2 elements of each type PER TUG " but only "2 elements"

That is confusing

Not really, it is giving a maximum allowed for the whole army (2 bases of each type) to be used in units to replace an ēhuatl warrior as the player sees fit.

Note that this is not the situation that awat03 was asking about as that was in reference to competition armies whilst this option is for non-competition armies.
