- No need. Portugal already has the 3rd best army in the game. No need to improve it anymore

Portugal has a great army, maybe siege UP but still, 3rd best . . .I don´t agree.

Brits, French, Japanese, Spain with that ridiculous Unction and all imperial upgrades they all have better armys.

Ports have a very good army but they could be more siege balanced imo.

Either by increasing Organs Building attack. A native bowman does more damage to a building than organ gun!!! Or increasing the siege damage done by halbs and Pikes.

Ports only have petards until age IV to strike effectivly enemy buildings. Expensive unit that dies and needs protection to get to their destination. Easilly killed, I don´t see many of them in games.  

Agree.

A card I noticed that has no difference between the regular one and the Team one is Team Medicine for indians it´s exactly the same as medicine card. Shouldn´t it be just 10% villager training decreased. 

Maybe a boost to medicine card to 20% or 25% time decrease could also help ports with their TC settler boom.

Why not let the Ports get Medicine in Discovery? That would solve everything.

Sure  

Ports boost

In land Maps

Early eco improvments 

-    15% all food gather rates to settlers. 

-    Wagons build TC a litlle bit faster 

-    House of Bragança - Trickle card for wood and coin. 1.00/s for Wood and 1.00/s for Gold in age II

Military Improvments

-    24 pikes in age IV - 8 Pikes in age II or 12 Pikes and a siege bonus to hand infantry in age IV.

-    14 Musketeers in age IV - 7 Musketeers in age II 

-    Besteiros cost less and only send 12.

-    Bandeirantes now give a boost to nearby troops. 

-    Organ Guns building attack increased 

Defense Improvments

-    Team cheap Outposts -15%building time

-    Donatarios now give an 0.75 anti ship attack bonus 

In Water Maps 

-    Team Fish Market card - at least a 15% gather rate. 

-    White fleet. 2 options: Age II card 4 boats spamming and a bonus gathering.

                                      Age III card 1 caravel per dock and HP increased
 

 I stick to these changes.

If some are not relevant to balance at least they would give ports players new choices, more variety.  

Theres a very simple solution to all of this... let the Ports train Urumis.

We´re trying to be serious here. We want to boost Ports in next patch.

Post suggestions, not jokes.  

I have a suggestion to boost Portuguese, but it doesn't have to do with early game, or military.

Make the Spyglass ability reveal more.

Jason_Biggati:

What if they get a choice of what wagon comes with the next age? instead of a TC. like a Barrack Wagon. or a bank Wagon or something?

That's against design. Nerf schooners, and boost ports in a way that...umm...damnit can't remember, there was an excellent thread about it at AgeSanc...

About the schooners nerf as I´ve posted on the other thread of this forum there´s 3 options imo.

1 - Nerf schooners card for all civs except Ports
 

2 -  Nerf schooners for all and give Ports white fleet card in age II. A little decrease to the cost of docks. Maybe 175 wood or 150 wood instead of the 200 could be applied.

3 - Let schooners card as it is.

I think that Navigator card gives a boost to the spyglass ability.

It´s one of the unique things Port have that is great. Ports were awsome explorers.
