In the mid 1500’s Karel V was the ruler of lands what are now the Netherlands and Belgium. Karel V let his kingdom to his son, Philip II, who was now the ruler of his kingdom. Because of the small riots that were going on Holland and Vlaanderen because of the raised taxes. Philip decided to sent the Duke of Alba to the Holland to suppress the rebellion. The rebellion started because the people in the Holland and Vlaanderen and Wallonië were upset about another taxes they had to pay. Alba decided to call a meeting of the leaders of the rebellion. Most of these leaders saw that it was a trap. But the most important leaders showed up and Alba arrested them and prosecuted them. This was the sign to start a overall rebellion in the whole land. This was also the start for the 80 Years of War.

If you don't mind, I fixed Duke of Alba (from Alva), and I think more people will know better the name of Philip II rather than Filips II
Good luck with the mod, I don't have time for playing right now

Well, I think you can do some translations if you want to. Until now, I used google translate but it gives weird names which aren't correct. I have Spanish myself, but I am not that far yet that I can translate names of armor to Spanish.
So, if you agree, I can sent you a list of items and troops that need renaming. We are also planning to add some new voice-acting, so maybe you are also interested in that.
I actually finished the list. I didn´t a literal translation, but one more precise in order to fit in the equipment of the Spanish tercios, and create a more historically acurate atmosphere.
Items:
Spanish Armor Coraza
Spanish Suit Vestimenta española
Mailled Armor Cota de mallas (by the way, I think it wasn´t used by the tercios)
Spanish Breastplate Peto español
Heavy Spanish Breastplate Peto de los tercios
Captains Armor Coraza de capitán
Shooters Armor Coraza de tirador
Skirmishers Armor Armadura de batidor
Heavy Breastplate Peto pesado
Spanish Scout Armor Armadura española de de batidor
Sword of Espanol Espada toledana
Rapier Espada ropera
Captains Rapier Estoque
Claymore Mandoble
Spanish Scout Lance Garrocha
Light Morion Morrión
Heavy Kettle Hat Capacete
Heavy Sallet Hat Celada
Burgonet Borgoñota
Sallet Feather Yelmo acolchado
Lancers Helmet Casco de piquero
Captains Helmet Casco de capitán
Jinete Helmet Yelmo de caballero
Strong Steel Shield Rodela (if small and round, tipycal Spanish shield), escudo pesado.
Troops:
Spanish Recruit Recluta español
Spanish Soldier Soldado español
Spanish Lancer Piquero
Spanish Swordsman Rodelero (if he has the small round shield), Espadachín español
Spanish Sergeant Sargento
Spanish Captain Capitán
Spanish Elite-Lancer Piquero de los tercios
Spanish Skirmisher Batidor
Spanish Shooter Arcabucero/mosquetero
Spanish Marksman Tirador
Spanish Men at Arms Soldado de los tercios
Spanish Knight Caballero
Spanish Mutineer Amotinado
Some little corrections
Spanish Armor Coraza-> Don't translate always armor with "coraza", it implies 1 big piece of metal
Tercio, always with capital T
Long names and ñ can be a problem. I couldn't, for example, import a character of mine with á
Heavy Spanish Breastplate->Coselete
To avoid this Troops:
Spanish Lancer Piquero
Spanish Elite-Lancer Piquero de los tercios
You can use Piquero Seco (light pikeman, had shorter pike and light armor) and Piquero armado (heavy pikeman, arms and thigh armored)
Spanish Men at Arms Soldado de los tercios-> Tercio soldier is always infantry. Is this Man at Arms cavalry or infantry?
