Hello guys. Here is the issue i bring to you today:
I mostly play 1v1 Arabia with huns, so I am usually in trouble when i play any other civ...
Yesterday I played a Spanish war (mirror) vs a guy from brazil.. He did drush+FC+Kts, side wall, while i did Full wall + FC+Conquistadors. This is a strat i use almost alywas when i get Spanish in a raodom or mirror civ war. And I won everytime i used it .
I also had a good lead in the game yesterday, but than i remmebered that in most of the expert TG recordings I've watched, the spanish player would start with some conquistadors in Castle age, than switch to Paladins in Imperial. So I said, let's try this ...
And guess what, i went imp and switched to Paladins, while my opponent went on Elite Conquistadors + Hussars + halbardiers.... He finally won the game after more than an hour if i remember correctly...
Anyway, my question is WHY DO EXPERTS CHOOSE PALAS IN IMPERIAL AGE INSTEAD OF ECONQUISTADORS?
Is it a matter of baing in a TG or 1v1? How are Palas>Conquistadors when you can hit and run all the time?
And how can Conquistadors be countered in a Spanish war, as I think that skirmishers won't really work..?
