Do any of you play as the Spanish (Commercial, Religious)? I haven't played them and wondered if any of you have any thoughts on strategies with them.
Starting with the Alphabet would give you a jump towards the Great LIbrary (which I try to build each game). Also, I figured that the Conquistadors (3/2/2, replaces explorer) would put a useful twist to gzollinger's explorer tactics -http://www.civfanatics.com/civ3acad_explorers.shtml. I fear, though, that the AI would treat the Conquistadors as military units rather than 'harmless' Explorers.
