I had a couple of games yesterday but I was very impress with Spain.
In Emperor level I reached a Economic victory with them but it was so fun. Early scouting with the Galleon really gave me a bonus, because I found the 3 relics in no time + getting 50% more gold for exploration gave me the 1st settler (the one for free when you reach 100 gold) only a few minutes after the game start!!!.
I was a little bit behind in technology, but with the 50% Gold bonus I was able to rush so many buildings that at one point I could it choose any kind of victory.
Without any push I flipped 4 cities and my gold income was over 2500 per turn, including some colonies also. I had so much gold that I had 3 Megacities producing buildings and units and 2 more pumping settlers + 5 more that I captured later in my path of destruction.
And another factor that probably not many people realize is HOW important is to have sea control. With the bonus of +1 naval combat it was huge!! They whole ocean belongs to Spain in that game. Plus the naval support when you are attacking and defending is way to much to not keep him in mind.
I like them a lot, probably I'll be playing with Spain online, but I'm still testing the others civilizations before I can decide 100%.
