The Spanish are classified as a gunpowder and Monk civilization. Their gunpowder units have a faster firing rate on their Hand Cannoneers, Bombard Cannons, and Cannon Galleons. Their Monks have every upgrade available, as well as Inquisition to speed up their conversions, and their Missionary is faster than a Monk. Their infantry and cavalry units are great and do not miss out on a single upgrade. They also have fully upgraded Elite Skirmishers and are the only civilization where every single trash unit is fully upgraded.
