This page contains all Home City Cards available for the Spanish civilization in Age of Empires III, including The WarChiefs and The Asian Dynasties expansions. An important note with Spanish shipments is that they need less experience to get them, and if they pick The Logistician for advancing to the Commerce Age, all Exploration Age cards, as well as Improved Buildings, Hot Air Balloons, Native Lore, and Extensive Fortifications, are shipped in 30 seconds.

• Green: TEAM Shipment that is sent to each player in a team
• Purple: Shipment that can be sent an INFINITE number of times
• Blue: Shipment that arrives fast (5 seconds)

In the Definitive Edition, all cards are unlocked by default and don't need Home City level to use them.
