Not all of Tawantinsuyu's traditions died along with Atahualpa or his embittered brother and rival, Huáscar. To make ends meet and smoothen the process of extracting Perú's vast mineral wealth for the kings of Spain, the viceregal authorities of Perú simply chose to keep the old order of things.
Thus, Quechua Auxiliaries are essentially the leaders of the indigenous population of Perú - and while they may now have Spanish helmets and steel for spears and hatchets in place of the stone clubs of their ancestors, they are still very much close order fighters, and pass for what Perú has in terms of early era shock infantry. This lack of modernisation however means that they aren't just very effective, except against infantry in close order but not against enemy cavalry, especially heavy cavalry since they lack proper armour, and also do not have the splash damage ability as Halberdiers or the range of Janissaries or Watergeuzen. Thus, as Perú, you are best advised to keep these men in line only to fight off light cavalry and defend your slingers and musketeers, but train up bodies of colonial cavalry for the purpose of swarming enemy cavalry formations ... or entrench these men whereso needed 
==History==
Like most imperial powers, Spanish influence on the late Inca empire was more of a gradual process than a tidal wave. Under the Spanish, the Inca aristocracy (the caciques or chieftains) were offered to hold office under the Spanish to overlook the civilian and criminal matters of their subjects. While the common Incas were paying tribute and taken for forced labour, the caciques were exempted from this and had the right to have their cases tried directly by the audiencias, bypassing their immediate supervisors.
They had a special incentive to maintain and transmit Inca cultural traditions, for their title to office was based on the fact that an ancestor had belonged to the Inca nobility. However, after 1619 CE the viceregal government provided special schools for the sons of caciques. These schools were under Jesuit administration and apparently offered an excellent education by the standards of the time and place.
