New Spain (M2TW:K Faction)

Malcolm mcdowell:

{{M2TW Kingdoms}}
New Spain is a faction the Americas campaign based on the Spain of the original game; it features a few new units but makes extensive use of later-game Spanish units that don't get used as often in vanilla campaigns.
It is the most financially powerful faction on the map. It has access to the most diverse mercaneries, and is unbeatable by normal means (i.e. by natives) until the emergence of New France and New England.
It features extremely powerful infantry and is the only initial faction with cavalry(a huge advantage); most infantry halved in unit size with 2 hitpoints but most cavalry is regular sized with 2 hitpoints. Its units have a steep recruiting cost and above average upkeep, but due to New Spains vast economical power it should not be problematic.
Buildings and units are unlocked for this faction through ranks, gained through prestige as described below.
Missions rewards are raised, with even minor trade agreements being able to give you 2000 gold and 4-6 powerful units regularly .
They are the only catholic faction until the emergence of New France/England but do not have to deal with the pope.
They are often regarded as the most simple faction to play as a player, and the fastest expanding faction with the AI.

== Starting area ==
Cuba, containing Havana, and Vera Cruz, which is on the mainland, slightly south of the center of the map. The Spanish are the only starting Christian faction in the campaign. They are also the only ones initially able to recruit merchants. Their guides (spies) and emissaries (diplomats) will often come with movement boosting traits.

=== Prestige ===

'''Prestige is necessary for advancing to higher technologies. There are several ways it is gained:'''

A "Hard" mission (Taking a Region): 10 prestige points

Failing a mission incurs the above prestige points subtracted instead of added

'''Victories over your enemies'''

Victory (When outpowering the enemy): 1 Prestige points

Victory (When odds are 0.50 - 1, i.e. the enemy slightly outpower you) 2 prestige points

Victory (When odds are <0. 50, i.e. your power ratio is 1 : 2 to the enemy ): 3 prestige points

Defeat Penalty is incurred in reverse (-1 point when outpowered by 0.50, -3 points when you outpower them 2:1 etc)

When capturing, sacking or exterminating a settlment 3 prestige points

'''Other Ways'''

=== The Spanish Consulate ===

The Spanish Consulate is located in Havana, and it has replaced the Knights of Santiago building. (What follows is uncertain)

In this campaign two sources of mission exist for New Spain; missions from the Council of Nobles, and missions from the Spanish Consulate. When the Spanish Consulate is destroyed you will no longer recieve missions and can therefore be lazy (and gain 1000 florins as well!). Spanish Consulate missions increase prestige if completed and reduce it if not, this will get rid of the missions so you cant fail them!

The Americas Campaign

2008-02-12T12:39:55Z

Malcolm mcdowell: /* Main Playable Factions */

{{M2TW Kingdoms}}{{stub}}
'''The Americas Campaign''' is one of four campaigns available in the [[Kingdoms]] expansion to [[Medieval II: Total War]].

==Overview==
The Americas campaign is based in the 'New World' starting in 1521AD. Spanish Conquistadors in search of new lands, fortune and glory have arrived in the Americas. Some disgruntled native warriors stand in their way however...

==Map==
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x228/Dordor333/0064.jpg

==Factions==
===Main Playable Factions===
*[[New Spain (M2TW Kingdoms)|New Spain]]: Has many good European units including cavalry and artillery, and uses the prestige system. Difficulty: Easy
Spain mostly relies on halved 2 hit point melee units with excellent armor and attack but with relatively slow speeds, they have both the crossow and gun at their disposal and can attack through the use of boats at any chosen area. They have the advantage of starting in Havana which is an island and therefore unreachable except by New France and New England
They start with mostly swords militias but through gaining ranks they can eventually advance to improved units, including the very powerful spanish dragoons
*[[The Aztec Empire (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Aztec Empire]]: Fast Plentiful and very cheap units. No artillery or cavalry. Difficulty: Moderate
They Aztec empire starts with some well-developed cities. Most of their powerful units are accesile with very few upgrades to buildings. They have some very powerful units early on but eventually will be outmatched by most other factions with technology. They can ritually sacrifice instead of disbanding or execution which will result in increase of the belief of the sun god in the area.
*[[The Mayans (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Mayans]]: Fast but cheap units. No artillery or cavalry. Difficulty: Hard
Their units are mostly similar to the aztecs, they get an interesting hornet thrower unit. They are usually in close proximity to the early spanish expedition and ocassionaly new englands first landing . They are considering difficult due to the constant invasion and difficult enemies.
*[[The Apachean Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Apachean Tribes]]: Good archers. Can advance in technology to get horses and guns, gets really good missile cavalry. Difficulty: Easy
Apacheans only have villages, They have no walled cities unless they capture them. They rely mostly on huts. They can create better huts and better units with them as they defeat their enemies and capture villages. Their units are extremely cheap, an average city can support about 50 times more apachean units then spanish ones. They do lack powerful early tecnology and their cities usually make very little .

===Unlockable Factions===
*[[The Tlaxcalans Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Tlaxcalans Tribes]]- Fast but cheap units. No cavalry or artillery. Difficulty: Hard

Surrounded by the aztecs and spanish, They would be advised to attack the aztecs with a spanish alliance. However this means that spain which would be the bigger of the two threats, will grow stronger. The decision to ally with spain or not is a very important one early on .

*[[The Chichimec Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Chichimec Tribes]]- Representing the Puebloan peoples of the North of Mexico. Good infantry and archers. Can get horses and guns. Difficulty: Moderate
*[[The Tarascans Tribes (M2TW Kingdoms)|The Tarascans Tribes]]- Fast but cheap units. No cavalry or artillery. Difficulty: Moderate

===Unplayable Factions===
*[[English Colonies (M2TW Kingdoms)|English Colonies]]- Similar to New Spain, but uses Longbowmen.
*[[New France (M2TW Kingdoms)|New France]]- Similar to New Spain.

==Special Features==
The presige system. New Spain's action will be rewarded by the king with monetary rewards or units. The Apache, or other tribes, can go on the warpath to unite the other tribes against the invaders.Ritual Sacrifice, units disbanded in a region or units executed after captured in battle will be instead sacrificed which will increase the amount of the followers of the sun god in a region. Ritual Sacrifices and Dances can be preformed on a Yearly/Monthly/Daily basis to increase public happiness but reduce income based on frequency.

==The Spanish Player==
The Spanish Player, while having European units, must rely mainly on Native Mercenaries, because few of these European units are available in the New World.
Special mercenaries can be acquired through allying with the native factions, many will give their native units in the form of merceneries to new spain when they are around their original area.
Spain can however use cheap native merceneries that are numerous and available initially and easily without having to ally with anyone, however they are worse.
