Perhaps someone who is familiar with playing the Americas campaign as the Spanish can answer this question.
When I played as the Chichimecs, the Spanish were #1 in military, and then suddenly and mysteriously they disappared.
Now I am the Mayans. The Spanish were again the top military power. I was holding off several Spanish stacks when suddenly an isolated stack, headed by Viceroy Pedro, came into my lands. I lost a close battle to this stack but killed Pedro. No more Spanish!
I reloaded a saved game to confirm that the Spanish had other named characters heading their armies. Apparently, though, they had no faction heir.
If this is usually the case, then the way to beat the annoying Spanish is just to go after their faction leader.
My question is this: when you play as the Spanish, are you without a faction heir at the start, and for how long?
