The Portuguese are one of the difficult civilizations to play in Age of Empires III. The Portuguese are able to have a large colony because of the extra Covered Wagons they recieve every time they advance in age.
The Portuguese also have a unique spyglass their Explorer can use to quickly explore the map or to spy on the enemy.
The Portuguese also have a strong navy, light infantry, and they are also the only civilization with the best Dragoons in the game. The Portugese start off slowly due to the fact that they don't have settler cards or trickle cards, but the extra Town Centers that they can get, and the combat cards their units get in the Industrial age can make them quite powerful and difficult to beat in late game. The Portugese generally try to get to the fortress age quickly due to the fact that they are very strong in the fortress age.
The Portuguese can have 3 Explorers with a Home City Card. If the Explorers are properly upgraded at the Capitol, then they serve as very effective Infantry.
