Faction Overview Strategic Overview History
  • Strengths: Strong economic fundamentals. A faction that is capable of creating immense amounts of Wealth.

  • Weaknesses: Complicated recruitment structure. Almost all UUs are mercenaries, so Wealth dependency is a possibility with all its pitfalls.

Almost all the Iberian UUs are mercenaries, so gathering enough wealth to recruit them is very much a preoccupation of any player using the Iberian civ. So while this simplifies things a great deal as long as Wealth is available, it can also be a double-edged sword, with the Iberian faction having to scrape up enough Wealth to continuously maintain its armies. This isn't helped further by the fact that almost all the Iberian UUs must be recruited from separate buildings too, and aren't that useful against other civs using heavy cavalry units, such as chariotry or Lancers.
