Conquest of the New World – Spain Strategy (Deity)<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Initially I thought Siglo de Oro was a “Seal of Gold”. I was wrong: It translates to “Golden Age”, “Golden Century”. A Golden Age it was indeed: The Spanish colonization of the Americas<\/a> was by far the most extensive and impressive and given its head start (Columbus sailing west<\/a>) it was also the longest: The Spanish colonial empire, starting 1492, lasted until 1975. Quickly after Columbus made landfall in the West Indies, the Spanish had conquered the Incan empire in the south and the Aztec and Mayan realms in Central America. All this is even more impressive since the Spanish had just reclaimed their homeland from Moorish rule in the very same year 1492. Read more about the Reconquista in the Into the Renaissance Spain Strategy (Deity)<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n

Over centuries the Spanish monarchy managed to not only be a major player in Europe, but to establish an empire where the sun never sets<\/em><\/a>. As early as June 1494 the Portuguese and Spanish had split the globe into two hemispheres with the Portuguese claiming the land between Brazil in the West and present day Indonesia in the East and the Spanish gaining exclusive rights to establish colonies anywhere else, ranging from west of Brazil to the most eastern islands in Asia.<\/p>\n

Win the New World Scenario as Spain.<\/p>\n

The following Steam Achievement Guide is basically the same as Conquest of The New World \u2013 Tea and Crumpets for Everyone Steam Achievement Guide<\/a>, which describes how to succeed with England. The same strategy was already validated with Conquest of The New World \u2013 Tout le Monde Francophone? Steam Achievement Guide<\/a> and now, winning on Deity, with an even higher score will be my final validation. If you need more details on something, please check out the English strategy first. I will use this guide to point out small variations and improvements to the aforementioned strategy.<\/p>\n

Part 1: Dominate Europe<\/h2>\n

Chapter 1: Initial Build Order and Research<\/h3>\n

The AI in this scenario is dominant as always. So as usually we need to defeat the main AI players as early as possible.<\/p>\n

Now in Conquest of the New World, European Nations can not declare war on each other until the discovery of Piracy. This means in order to get the Siglo de Oro, you need two things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Direct your Research straight to Piracy<\/li>\n
  2. Meanwhile build a military strong enough to capture those European capitals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The initial build order shows exactly that focus on Production improvements<\/strong> and right after only units<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    11. Galleas 3, 4, 5, 6<\/td>\n—<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
