A BO to a well executed Spanish FF:

Discovery:
As soon as you start out. Put villagers on food crates and que 1 villager.

First Card: 3 Villagers

Gather crates, herd hunts to TC, set gather point on hunts, and age with 15 villagers.
Treasure hunt with your explorer.

Your priorities in treasures should go like this:
Food (you can never get too much food, it will all get used up in something whether its war dogs, minutemen or 2-3 villagers), Gold (this will reduce the amount of gold you have to gather in your transition to colonial thus allowing you to gather more food), Wood (will need this for houses, place your houses in front of your TC, try tempting your opponent to take them down, allowing you more time to deal damage to his troops with TC and Tower fire)

Also, make sure you scout with your explorer to see if he's rushing or attempting to FF with you.
Age with the Tower+200 gold politician. Remember to herd your second hunts. This is crucial since you're likely to get rushed by most civs (specifically Ottos and Russians).

Transition from Discovery to Colonial:
Transition from Discovery to Colonial:
Move 4 villies from food to gold.
The rest on food. As soon as you get 250 gold (100 to age up and 150 for minutemen) switch those 4 villies to food.

Colonial:
Second Shipment: 700 gold

Que 2 villies.
Place your tower directly in front of your TC facing where the opposing army is likely to come from if you suspect a rush.
If you don't then place your tower as close to the enemy TC as possible.
Keep your explorer close to your TC so that you can train war dogs.

Third Shipment: 7 rodeleros
Don't attack with them until you have war dogs and minutemen out at the same time. If he doesn't rush you then
You should be clicking the age up button by about 5:30 and arriving by 7:00 to 7:30.

Age with the 4 Hussar politician.
By the time their rush hits you should have enough food to get minutemen and make some war dogs.
If he rushes you:
Garrison your villies.
Don't attack as soon as he starts seigeing wait for those 4 Hussar to come. If it doesn't look like they're gona get there on time then attack with what you have. I find that when you get jan rushed you need to attack with dogs+rods+minutemen early and once you age use those 4 Hussars to clean up any left over janissaries.

I find it works best if you attack with your units in this order:
7 rodeleros+war dogs
Minute men
4 hussars

All in quick succession not one after the other. Unless he's about to seige down your TC, in which case the 4 Hussars will get there later. Send in your 7 rodeleros with your war dogs and explorer (to soak up damage). After the rodeleros have made contact with the enemy get those minute men out. Your Hussars should come from the tower in front of your TC (if you still have a tower) to box your opponent in if he tries to escape from the minute men and come back when they are at a low HP.
With this you should be able to repel any rush.

Fortress:
If he rushed ungarrison your vills and chop wood so that you can build some houses for the shipments, and get a rax ASAP for skirms.

Fourth Shipment: 5 lancers

Hope this encouraged more players to try Spains powerfull FF

Good Luck
