Maybe is because the conquistadors are armored while my Jaguars are not and I usually win with a high casualty and still have a few of those bastards galloping off the field.
They all have 2 HP that's the problem. I find a good spanish killer army is 16 spearmen/warriors and 3 priests combined with high dread general. You rush the army towards the spanish (not walk) send a few units on flanks running after the musketeers/crossbows while the rest smashes head on into spanish lines, then you stop the priests and the general just behind the pile up ad get the priests to chant = insta rout. As long as you keep your main force near the priests and neautralize (chase) muskets you'll always win due to 3 times the number of soldiers and dread factor lowering the already low morale of spanish troops (their best units have 11 morale yours 25)
You can use elite units with archer support but i tend to get "smart" when using them and suffer more casualties which are low with the rush max 15% Oh playing on VH battles.
