The Conquistador is the unique unit of the Spanish in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. It is a mounted gunpowder unit with high armor.

The Condottiero (plural Condottieri) is the second unique unit of the Italians in Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. It can be trained at the Barracks once the Imperial Age is reached. It is a quick anti-gunpowder infantry unit. In The Forgotten, a Castle was also required in order to train Condottieri. That was changed in The African Kingdoms.

The Condottiero has a large attack bonus against gunpowder units, and because of this, they are capable of taking down armies of Janissaries, Conquistadors, or Hand Cannoneers, who are usually paired with Halberdiers or Camels to take down cavalry. Also, Condottieri have bonus armor and take no bonus damage from Hand Cannoneers which helps them in their role as a gunpowder counter.
