I was a bit startled when I started my Spanish campaing in the 'age of exploration'.

- Apparently you can't see the size of armies in the field by their banners.
- Both factions Portugal & Aragon (obvious choices to protect once flank) are to strong to attack just yet.
- Although grenada is in rebel hands, it seems it'll take multiple years before I can take the province with reasonable casualties.

On the plus side I immediatly have acces to a 8-star general (with title) and a 5-star general (again with title) on top of the king.

Proposed early strategy:
1) Take Grenada ASAP with as little casualties as possible and perhaps go as far in North Africa without stretching my resources to thin.
2) Build up an army to take on Portugal or Aragon (Whichever seems to be the easiest target) to set up the bottlenecks that'll protect the homelands.


The biggest problem so far:
I have absolutly no idea what the men at my disposal are to be used or what they are capable of.
What do I use Ballesteros or arbelasters?
Are Rondeleros shock troops?
What units should I build ASAP?
