But did it have that kind of importance? Maybe they got overconfident due to their modern fortress...
What city was that? I didn't find it in Eighty Years' War
Oh yeah the Spanish were overconfident alright, they were for the better part of the war, believing they couldn't possibly lose..
Not sure what it was called, it was an important location, but it would likely be conquered by the Dutch rebels anyway so the conquest itself wasn't of that much importance. Still, they took the Spanish by suprise and took the the fort and nearby city quickly before anyone could help.
The very thing the Dominion will do Their ships are the fastest, they can strike and take Bretons at complete surprise. Due to the internal conflicts and misinformation that the Dominion will undoubtedly spread prior to invasion, the conquest of High Rock may be very fast.
If the Dominion could predict the birth of certain types of Khajiit, they could have Battecats by the thousands and all of them ridden by Cathay-raht. Freaking Nazis with their Panzers storming across the plains of France. These petty humans and elves know nothing of war. SHOR, will be the war master.
