Starting Position
They start occupying half of Spain on the Iberian Peninsula. They are bordered by Carthage and Gaul.
Their cities are:
- Scallabis: Spanish Capital; Region - Lusitania
- Asturica: Spanish Large Town; Region - Gallaecia
- Carthago Nova: Spanish Town; Region - Hispania
- Osca: Spanish Town; Region - Taraconenis
Victory conditions
- Long Campaign: Hold 50 provinces including Rome.
- Short Campaign: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy Carthage.
Units
Spain is an heavily infantry focused faction, because of their Bull Warriors, an extremely useful light infantry unit that can form a very strong battleline. Without Bull Warriors their roster would overall be very poor. Their cavalry is mediocre, good for light roles but no match for heavy cavalry. Their recruitable missiles are very poor, although they are strengthened by Balearic Slinger Mercenaries. Their early roster is similar to that of Carthage, in other words it is very weak, an unusual situation for barbarians.
