Their strong unit is their culvs which take 3 shots to kill, and their cassador which are among the best skirms.

You dont understand me. I meant unit that is quickly trainable, take little pop and is overall tough (organ guns are easy defeated by cavalry and culv are ´´advantage´´ of all european civs) - so I meant cavalry or infantry. 

BTW: cassadors are as good as other skrimishers (of course except strelet). They have better resistance(, higher attack (but not in AD)) but much less hp.   

Depends on if the organs are upgraded when they are upgraded (fully upgraded) they are decent even on cavalery.

Then you can take hussar. They are pretty terrible unit for ports, but the high hp fits your discription. And btw ports do have good muskets.

What he means is Ports dont have 1 dominant unit that can just dominate everything but its counter. curs kill basically everything except goons or halbs or a cav counter. Doppels beat just about anything it can get close enough to

Absolutely right. Thanks Jayve.

BTW: I learn English second year so my English expression is not so good.

I think you are missing the point... you ask for the pros/cons of port and the culv card is a VERY important aspect.  At higher levels of play, it makes a significant difference and really helps to make the Port civ competitive.  Saying that you only meant cav and infantry is missing some of the most important aspects of the game.

I asked about unique portuguese advantages (culverins have all europeans).

Yes, walls have every civ (except sioux), but TEAM wall card has only Portugal.

The strength of their culv IS unique to Port, not all europeans.

Captain obvious, maybe try reading my post again.

Port culvs are unique because they take 3 shots from a regular euro culv to kill, this is a massive advantage to the civ in many MU's.

Their cassador are very good, they're pretty close to being on par with france or spain skirms i would argue, and completely **** dutch and german skirms. Only ones that are clearly better are wakina and forest prowler.

Cassador are your closest thing the a dominate unit for port. Combined with their dragoons make for one of the best skirm/goon combinations in the game.

The whole 1 dominate unit is irrelevant, only france has that and they're considered an op civ. Dopples are hard countered by many things, they don't dominate every counter.
