    allright, let me explain that:

    contrary to popular belief, while spain was a power in decline, the soldiers who fought in the ranks were capeable of acts of bravery on the battlefield, and were actually trained: this can be seen in Italy and in Venezuela (v. Britain).

    now here is where things get messy: the Spanish, inspite of individual bravery, were poorly led, poorly motivated, and let's face it, treated as . the probelm was that the officer corps, as in France, rose from the nobility by favortism, not merit. this, combined with an outdated regimental and staff operations system, made the spanish army, at best, a mediocre one. this is seen in reports of Spanish soldiers mugging and attacking their own officers, or deserting en masse from one regiment to another.

    so if I wanted to depict the morale of a unit in E:TW, it should be ok, but also relatively fragile-equivalent to RTW unitts having a morale of 3 or 4, but undisciplined or normal for resistance to morale shock. also, in the period starting from c.1730, the militia should have only a slightly lower quality status than the regulars: this is because of their use as "fillers" to supplement the ranks in emergency situations. also, militia serving in spanish counties from 1730-1763 wore iron blue (I noticed it was missing up there)

    I've been reading some more

    Yeah! i recommend you to watch the film "Alatriste" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAcrIr84OdQ about the spanish XVII century (our Golden Century), starred by Vigo Mortensen. Spaniards fought in the XVI, XVII, XVII and XIX century all over the world and they got a traditional state of war (remember the fight against the muslims in the middle ages), and them with this experience, the warfare for the spaniards were so familiar

    Yes, perhaps in military (but remember the Armada´s fiasco in XVI century) but not in Arts (Velázquez, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Cervantes...).
    Anyway, in the Spanish War of Sucession there was ideas about divide Spain between Great Britain, Austria and France
