I think the Spanish will be good super power, with their huge armada ships and calvary, they will put any player in for a run for their money. I am curious to see whether they have typically larger ships than all the other factions.

I wasn't really thinking of the 1500's, but thanks for that gesture.

It is true that, during the Napoleonic Wars, the Spanish typically used some of the largest ships of the line. The Santísima Trinidad, for example, had some 140 guns and was the largest warship in the world from when it was launched in 1769 to when it sank after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. That said, such ships were the exceptions rather than the rule.

Another point about the Spanish Armada is they never actually sailed to invade. The English ships attacked them as they sailed to the Netherlands, thus were technically more vulnerable.
