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 with 2 hitpoints that can form a very strong battleline. Bull Warriors essentially make the faction. Their cavalry is decent early on but falls behind a bit in the late game. They have no Spearmen worthy of mention, and their infantry is mediocre apart from the Bull Warriors. Their missiles are very poor except for Balearic Slinger Mercenaries. Their early roster is quite weak, similar to Carthage except with the addition of Naked Fanatics.
