I used KittenWorld 8NC. I added Coffee, Oasis, Seals, Salt and Marble. It plays well, except that the Middle East is underpowered and overpopulated.

Isabella has been chosen, because the women:men ratio is already VERY much leaning towards men. Of all the ExtraPack Civs, Spain had the best female ruler to offer.
I think we all agree that Louis XIV or Napoleon would have made better French rulers too, but... |
Well, really more than 90% of the great leaders were men, but if you think you need more female leaders...
Some notes on your Spain description:
Magellan was portuguese, not a spaniard
I think Charles I is a better leader than his son Phillip II
Other leaders: Gran Capitán, Viriato
Spain didn't rule Portugal. At that time Spain didn't exist, Phillip II (Phillip I for the portuguese) was king of Castile, Navarre, Aragón, Portugal and other places. It is the same thing now with the United Kingdom and Canada: both have the same queen but are independent. I know then the king were absolutists and ruled as such, but the laws in each part of the kingdom were diferent.
City Names:
Cadiz -> Cádiz
Merida -> Mérida
La Coruña -> A Coruña
Almunecar -> Almuñécar (Why this city?)
English is not my native langage, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think Isabella was the queen of the spaniards and not the queen of the spanish.
Do not hesitate in sending me a private message if you think I can help you in this nice project. Maybe we can use spanish, as I think you speak my idiom.
Best regards
Un cordial saludo

I've added Carlos as a Great Leader, I don't know why he wasn't in.
....
The politics of Philipp II showed that he tried to make a common politics for Spain and Portugal, like expelling the jews in the first place...
I don't know the difference between Spanish and Spaniards either, but until now, no English speaker complained about Spanish, so...
Saludos, Wernazuma |
Magellan (Magallanes) conducted his around the world voyage for the portuguese king of that time. He was killed by the natives in the Phillipines and Juan Sebastián de Elcano finished the voyage. For us, spaniards, is the first one to sail around the world.
The jews were expelled from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492 and from Portugal by D. Manuel I in 1497 (Decree of December 1496)

Antxon, Magellan was traveling under Charles I, king of Spain. Portugal was independent at that time and, as Werna said, rejected Magellan's services. That's why he crossed the border. Historically speaking, Magellan is a Spanish sailor, just like Columbus.
The problem with Isabella (and this is something I have mentioned several times already) is that she never was Queen of Spain, but of Castile. It's exactly the same as Elizabeth II being queen of the English, but not the British. The right one should have been Philip II. Charles I (V) wasn't bad either but he ruled over severla other countries, which in my opinion rests credibility to his 'Spainicity'. Philip II was just king of Spain, period.
Spaniards and Spanish, when used as a noun, mean the same. Spanish can be used as an adjective as well (i.e. Spanish language, Spanish Pride....), Spaniard can't.

I agree with you about Magellan.
I cannot agree with you about Felipe II. He was king of Castile, Aragón, Navarra, Portugal and other places as well (I think), but at that time Spain was only a place with many countries with diferent laws, but with the same king.
Yes, but you can say 'A Spaniard came to see me' and you cannot say 'A Spanish came to see me'
Oye: ¿Por qué discutimos en inglés?
Saludos
