Introducing: The Spanish Empire
Continuing on from the Ottoman Empire, here is the guide to the Spanish forces in the Demo.
The Spanish Empire in the demo represents Spain in the 16thC, after the reconquista and the unification of the Christian Spanish kingdoms. In the full mod will include the Kingdom of Castile rather then a 'united' Spain.
The guide can be found here.

Re: Introducing: The Spanish Empire
I like the preview but I find it a little bit too little for the most powerful nation of the period...
Some comments:
Apart from german mercenaries, there were a few army units composed exclusively of germans/burgundians, such as one of the king's guards (there was a german guard, a spanish guard and a burgundian guard), the famous Archeros were very heavy cavalry and composed exclusively of burgundiands because, as you mentioned Spain was unable to sustain a decent body of proper heavy cavalry.
Herreruelos: they were the equivalent of whar in the rest of Europe were the later cuirassers, they apperared at the beginning of the XVII th - possibly end of XVI th century as an organised part of the cavalry force.
Lancer: They weren't as heavy as the french Gendarmes but they were the heaviest cavalry the spanish could muster and replaced the heavies with eficiency, and shouldn´t be considered anything else but heavy cavalry even if slightly lighter than in the rest of Europe.
I also hope you include drummers and standard bearers for all the units as this was the norm by the XVII the century.
I like the graphics of the units although the foot-cuirasse-wearing units look like they all take Kellogs All Bran for breakfast (they are probably too thin for meat-eating, beer-drinking scum of all the Spains)

These are ONLY the units for Spain in the demo, which represents the Spanish Expeditionary forces (for lack of a better term) under the command of the Viceroy of Southern Italy that went to help expell the Ottomans from Malta.Originally Posted by SwordsMaster
Trust me, there are alot more spanish units
The main reason they are not going to be in the demo is they just are not done yet.

Re: Introducing: The Spanish Empire
NP, I should have mentioned it in the first post (hell, I had thought of mentioning the fact that the demo happens after the unification, but I expected someone to come in saying that it should be Castile not SpainAh, Ok.)
Don't worry, there are more spanish units to come... an idea I had was that after the demo is released we would concentrate on finishing of spain and the moorish units giving us another theme for an expansion to the demo (Reconquista), but nothing is certain yet.
