Do you think Spanish should get a buff? What do you think about free melee armor upgrades?

I feel Spanish are pretty meh at the moment and could use a boost.

Conqs used to be super OP in Castle Age but ever since DE and reclassifying their armor class, they seem to be just a really solid castle age unit and mediocre Imperial age unit.

I feel with free melee armor, it would encourage them to play infantry. Spanish have a really solid barracks but its not especially used that much. Having armor makes openings better and make transitions more viable.

They are one of the worst feudal age civs in the game since they lack an eco bonus. Improved drush and m@a rush would make fast castle more viable. Improved spears would give a small boost for scout vs scout wars.

After feudal the boost is a little less important but obviously in general it makes infantry easier to switch into. It also makes pike ram pushes slightly easier and it could be fun doing full long swords if the enemy goes trash units since the meta would still be stables or conqs most likely.

I also have a smaller suggestion to remove the team bonus of extra gold on trade. Its pretty OP. My thoughts would be to exchange it for 1 extra range on gunpowder units. I would reduce conqs range by 1 and keep elites range the same so that the extra range only applies to conqs because in imp they fall off some.
