Spain = God Tier

I think England are really nice. Even if you don't get a good naval game, the Longbowmen are incredible and the extra spy ain't that bad. More techs for the win. Also, the civ's colours are nice to look at. =)

Spain could be good I guess. Upgrading your units into tercios could be a good strategy with horseman upgradedinto cconquistadors. One with nature gets you good gold to purchase settlers and buildings that can get your civilization up and running quick.
