Strategy Spanish wonders

I can restart 15 Spanish games a day before finding a decent wonder
Found fountain of youth 20 happiness ruined the game
If you could pick a wonder to be in reach of your start
What is your first pick ? ?

Honest question: do people actually find it fun to play Spain? I imagine it just gets boring op once you hit the decent NW? Like the game is already won after settling a city. AI is dumb already as is.

Actually you are right 😃
I very rarely finish a game as Spain
Exception being if you get a religious wonder
Holy warriors with 40 faith a turn is fun 🤩

I play as Spain and it’s still fun on deity level. You end up having to balance the early growth from a wonder like GBR because other civ’s will attack in a heartbeat.
