* The [[Spanish (Age of Empires III)|Spanish]] can support almost their entire population with a single [[Town Center (Age of Empires III)|Town Center]] by sending the [[Spanish Home City Cards/3|Colonial Estancias]] card and purchasing the ''Immigrants'' upgrade, only being 30 population short. Furthermore, that card will negate the need for the upgrade altogether if two Town Centers and six houses, or three Town Centers, are constructed and kept safe, even if they lose all other houses in an attack. Such a strategy can be used to create chokepoints with Spanish houses, cause enemy runaround, or slow down attacking armies who believe they are damaging Spain's population cap. Especially effective versus AI opponents.

* ''Immigrants'' can synergize extremely well with [[Chinese (Age of Empires III)|China's]] card [[Chinese Home City Cards/3|TEAM Provincial Administration]]. Fewer population buildings will be required prior to the Imperial Age, and then even fewer upon researching the upgrade.
