Caballeros
My go to strategy when I was a MS was Spain FF (because this is vanilla, I apologise). I used to always send Caballeros soon after aging as it allows my lancers to pretty much one hit KO colonial infantry. As I got better though, I started doing that less and less as thought I could be better off sending 1000 wood or 5 lancers earlier. Then I stopped doing the FF and switched over to Spain musk/rod rush to get me to 2nd LT. Now I'm 1st LT and this guy tried an FF on me and I'm curious--is there a 1v1 BO that incorporates Caballeros? Is it even a viable card to send? Bear in mind that this is Vanilla Spain where things like 5+4 lancers are available and TPs are 250 wood. What would be a good BO to get lancers out quickly in team games? Thanks!
Re: Caballeros
It is fine, but I think you are better off shipping units in 1v1. In team you could do like 3v, 700c, 700w, 5v, 5 lancer/1k coin, cav combat, cabelleros or smth like that and do a rod/lancer spam.

Can I come play nilla team with you guys sometime, I actually kind of miss 3v3 GP (sooooooo much better than 3v3 Deccan all random, lmao). Btw do you know CannedBabySouls or Dustin1by1? I use to play team with them a lot back on nilla bills and they're in the 1lt range iirc.

Re: Caballeros
I don't think anyone else is like this, but I wouldn't have any cav cards in my deck. Rod combat and refrigeration are much much more important, as you should never have more than 10-15 lancers in your army at any time imo. But if you do have it, DEFINITELY don't send it as one of your first few cards.

Re: Caballeros
This card probs works in some match ups (like vs otto) but you would ship pretty late, after a lot of units and 1000w I guess

Could you elaborate a bit? It seems like a really nice boost actually, refrigeration is a different type of card, for which you should not opt for when picking Spain, especially while performing an aggressive FF IMO.

Well you wouldn't want to send caballeros for your 5 lancers when doing an agressive ff either. I have 10 pike, but some people have refrigeration. Maybe I would have caballeros (tho tbh I would prefer cav combat anyway) if I made many lancers, but like I said before it's bad to make more than like 10-12 lancers; they do very well vs infantry so you really don't need more than that to kill all the skirms fast. What you do need is skirms and (mostly) rods to keep the goons away while the lancers are raping the skirms. If they don't have musks, your skirms are really only there to make sure that the enemy doesn't come out of his base only with the goons and hit and run you forever.

Re: Caballeros
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I would see it being a viable option if you shipped 5 + 4 lancers and made 5 more against infantry-heavy compositions, but yeah, it's pretty situational and you're right that regular cav is better than such an anti-infantry overkill.
That said, I'd still keep it
