I dont think is that bad Spain. Yes, we have a ****ty cavalery, wonder why...we didnt have much but it was not that bad....IMO. I find Spain very funny and exciting, since nobody wants to push you to the other side (FR and GB), the manly 2 major powers at war with, besides Turky at the begining at least. So you can play kind of neutrality till you get under control serveral states (north africa, some in Italy, maybe Portugal...) I dont think GB or FR are going to mess with you at the very begining and neither Turky, because everybody is busy conquering minors. GB wants Spain as ally because of his amount of ships to avoid join France and high trading values, of course as being french neighbourg is very solid place to attack France from. FR wants Spain as ally because of his amount of ships to attack the british and because there is nothing of profit attacking Spain and much money to spend. So I think you should play with this neutrality as long as you can while you are building your kingdom. Turky is a danger, but usually after 1807, not before. He has the same problems as Spain, he can only be good besides france or british, so usually is the other country that is not with spain. Austria, Prussia and Russia have nothing to do against Spain, so are valuable allies to get money and help from them when needed, of course as FR or GB, who ever is your "protector". A war between TU-SP is usually a benefit for the brit, taking control of north africa and the good thing will be that TU-SP were allies against the brit in the mediterranean, so they can reach an agreement for the minors and dont let the brit have anything else besides malta and gibraltar. In my game rigth now I am Spain and is not bad, well, not good in VP (7-8) but I have Portugal, Kingdom of 2 Sicilies, Tuscany and i am fighting the brit for Morocco (was mine) and Algeria (was mine too), now both under besige.
