Spain

Units of Spain


Peasants
Attack: 3
Defense: 3

Price: 120
Warcry improves attack
Poor morale
Can sap
Most basic unit of all. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How).

Town Militia
Attack: 3
Defense: 7

Price: 150
Warcry improves attack
Poor morale
Can Sap
The Town Militia is very useful outside of the battlefield, when you need someone to guard a town (leave at least 4 regiments of Town Militia, they'll be okay), or on the battlefield, when you need to distract an enemy group, lure them into a trap or something.

Skirmishers
Attack: 3 (Missile 6)
Defense: 4

Price: 180
Can hide in long grass
Bonus vs. elephants and chariots
Fast moving
Can sap
A bit like the Velites and Peltasts, nothing special, throw sticks, boo. They would be really good if they didn't have so little ammo.

Onagers
Attack: 53 (vs. Building 70)
Defense: 3

Price: 720
Area attack
Very long range
Can use flaming missiles
Can't hide
Inaccurate against troops
The last attribute is totally unjust. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic. With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.
