Spawn unit: Conquistador.
Spawn interval: 10 s per Castle.

CBA role & archetype

Primary role: Mounted ranged raze / hit-and-run. Conquistador is fast, ranged, and razes buildings well.
Secondary role: post-villager BBC + Paladin + Hand Cannon comp.

🌅 Opening play (pre-villager)

Minute 0–3: short spawn, patrol into flanks. Conq is mobile — use it.
Preferred fights: any melee ball (kite them with Conq range), any archer UU with less range (Conq HC range).
Fights to refuse: mass CA (Mangudai out-DPS), Onager stacks.

⚔️ Kill accumulation strategy

Safest kill farm: melee balls, most infantry UUs.
Avoid feeding: Mongol Mangudai, Mayan Plumed (Plumed faster + more HP), Vietnamese Rattan.

🏚️ Raze allocation

Spanish are often delayed-raze (Conq self-razes). They benefit hugely from gold-only economies, so if fed razes they can go all-in on BBC + HC + Paladin.
Feed razes to teammates who need food/wood.

👷 Post-villager composition

Wall order: gate patches for constant harass.
Standard build: 1 Barracks, 1 Archery Range (HC), 2 Stables (Paladin), 1 Siege Workshop (Ram).
Imperial composition: Conquistador + Hand Cannoneer + BBC + Paladin. Spanish Paladin is full-tech and pairs with Conq raid.
Silver-UT priority: Supremacy situational (villager buff — huge if you're getting caged); otherwise Inquisition if monk play.

⚖️ Strong against / Weak against

🤝 Team synergies

Best pairs: Turks (double gunpowder, BBC + Janissary + Conq), Portuguese (Organ + Conq), Byzantines (Cataphract front + Conq kite).
Conflicts: another squishy mounted UU on the same flank.
