Spain

Unique Ability

Treasure Fleet: naval units can form Fleets and Armadas as soon as Mercantilism is researched, instead of waiting for Nationalism and Mobilization. Trade Routes get +3 Gold, +2 Faith, and +1 Production — tripled for routes between different continents.

Unique Unit: Conquistador

A strong unit that can found a city directly upon disbanding.

Unique Infrastructure: Mission

A unique improvement that boosts Faith and Science, usable even outside your own territory.

How to Play Spain

• Prioritize converting captured cities to your religion immediately rather than leaving the job half-finished.
• Seek out Natural Wonders early — Spain gets outsized value from them.
• A combined Domination-and-Religious approach usually outperforms committing to either path alone.
