New Spain - wrong choice?

Then once you have had fun with the dragoons. Have a game as the Aztecs. They are enjoyable with the many interesting infantry units. See how the AI manages the Spanish as you see things from the other side of the table.
Have fun!!

phonicsmonkey is absolutely right on that point.

When i choosed Spanish, i thought they will have no support from mainland, and they will have to send lots of gold to the King. And they will have no advantage but firepower of musketeers.

But game is totally opposite of it:
* Spanish men are almost unkillable.
* Their cav. charge is unresistable.
* They taking huge reinforcements to the most strategical points during the game.
* They are not sending gold to the King, but King sending them tons of gold...

So spanish campagin was really disappointment for me as well.
Only good side of the Spanish is killing thousands of worthless peasants with cannons, while waiting at the city hall.

Yesugey is right. It is counter intuitive and historically inaccurate that King sends gold to new Spain. Otherwise it is fun: single culverin can take out more than 150 even before battle starts, foot and horse conquistadors easily break any native unit, and as soon as you get used to easy life and become careless, native armies will beat your army and so on..

The backbone of all mighty spanish armies is their 2 HP Conquistadores on horseys... they are just completely awesome to be used and spammed everywhere..... even with Spanish campaign, I got my general commands only Conquistadores and dragoons, while the slow infantry commanded by lesser general (younger one), and carryin my cumbersome cannons.

And remember how you get 6 units of conquistadores as a trophy for capturing little rebel vilages! I can make my way to other corner of the map with 6 Conquistadores! I absolutely disband them whenever i get them.
