Spanish

This civ excels at mobile cavalry play -- able to raid, flank, and apply pressure across the map with Paladin. Limited counter options mean this civ must play aggressively and press its advantage before opponents can mass their army. Siege options are limited -- look to win through open-field engagements rather than pushing fortifications.
