Conquistador
The Spanish unique unit. A mounted gunpowder unit with high attack and good mobility. Devastating in early Castle Age.
Tactical Briefing
You're a mounted Hand Cannoneer with 16 attack and 6 range. At 1.3 speed, you can hit-and-run effectively. Your 2/1 armor and 55 HP make you surprisingly tanky for a gunpowder unit. The high damage melts infantry and archers alike. But at 70F/60G, you're expensive, and your accuracy suffers at range. Get close to maximize damage.

Strategic Analysis
The Conquistador is a **mobile gunpowder cavalry** unit. High burst damage combined with mobility creates devastating hit-and-run potential.
- Castle Age Power: 16 attack in Castle Age is massive. Melts any infantry or archer you encounter.
- Hit and Run: 1.3 speed lets you engage, fire, retreat. Repeat until enemies die.
- Good Armor: 2/1 armor is exceptional for cavalry. Takes less damage from everything.
Warning: **Expensive and slow to mass**. 70F/60G and 24s train time. Can't spam them like archers.
