Ok so lately my friends asked me about the portuguese shipments and improvments and i saw some posts talking about these so i decided to make a guide(if i can call it like that ) try not to be hard with me XD 

Shipments for ships: navigation school.

Caravel: w:300 c:100-->w:240 c:80  

Galleon: w:300 c:500-->w:240 c:400 

Frigate:w:500 c:500-->w:400 c:400

Monitor: w:800 c:200-->w:640 c:160

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               shipment for buildings:Land grab

Mill: w:400-->w:240  

Plantation: w:800-->w:420

Livestock pen:w:200-->120                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

 Wall shipments+improvment:                                                                                                         

Wall basic HP:3000

Church improvments:+4500HP which means 7500HP

Shipment:"TEAM Improved wall":+1500HP which means 9000HP after all upgrades.

 Shipment for fishing boats:                                                                                                               

"Whale Oil":increases the fishing boats coin gathering rate by 35%  which means 0.676 coin per second instead of 0.5 coin per second.

"Portuguese white fleet":deliver 4 fishing boat on EVERY single dock you have.

Good Shipment Cards(in my opinion its a most on every portuguese deck):                         

"Team Early Dragoon": Allow you to train Dragoons from Age II instead Age III (good againt several rush deck such as hussar shipments and cavalery shipments) 

RangFinding:Increase the Mortar LOS by 10.0 and Ranged attack by 10!!!

 Petard NO TRAIN TIME!                                                                                                                       

To have Petard with no train time you need to make 3 upgrades:

Deck Shipments:Engineering School(Artillery) + Fencing School(Infentry).

Church Upgrade: Standing Army(Infentry).

Didn't find any need to mention the other Military and Eco shipments,only the sort of special cards and upgrades. Hope I helped and will be glad to hear some more tips :D

 (Edit thx to jayve98) Shipment:jenitours: increase goons ranged attack and LOS by 6 each (the max ranged attack and LOS could be reached for goons.) 

 

 

wow the best guide ive ever seen and its my 1st XD.... 

how bout the jinetes range card? thats a huge upgrade for ports

jayve98:

 The upgrade you talk about is from the stable

i didn't find any need to mention it because there is a lot of upgrades at the stables barracks and artillary and they are the basic for me :) But thx you mentioned them  

No. jinete range is a card

J McMillin:

No. jinete range is a card

umm do you mean the genitours which inrease the LOS to max ? no jinete range card come to my mind only jinete upgrade come to my mind is the "jinete" in the stable.

It's not just los, its range too.

LordStefanIII:

It's not just los, its range too.

xD yea ok only wanted to see if that's the card they talked about :P ill edit it now thanks  

How could you forget about that card? Its what makes ports goons so much better than everybody elses goons. Its not just that their stats are higher, the range upgrade makes them basically skirms on horseback. In most games if your micro is good, then you could use jinets as skirms if u had to. So easy to hit and run using their range and its just a bonus that their stats are higher

Didn't mention it the same way i didn't mention "dragoon combat" didn't focus on single unit advanteges tried to show special unique shipments and upgrades which help maybe ill make some other guide on single types of units and then ill talk about their upgrades.

dude!!!!! he said only basics XD he didnt want to "dig in" to details XD

What has prompted the massive influx of very new players/new posters?  Did I miss something?

Idk, its keeping me entertained at least.

Without this card, port would be extremely UP
