General Information[]

The home province is Portugal, and it initially has one region, Goa, in India. The region of Portugal itself can develop to become very powerful, as it has multiple towns and is home to a major city. Spain is usually required to attack this faction to meet its victory conditions. It may also be a target of the Maratha Confederacy, as its short and long campaigns require the conquest of Goa.

Along with Persia, Portugal is one of only two minor factions to have regions in more than one theatre.

Unit Roster[]

Militarily speaking, Portugal is similar to Spain: able to train the Irish Brigade as well as early, irregular skirmishers. Portugal is the only faction that can train Miquelets (irregular troops), making it one of the only minor factions to train unique units (along with Scottish Clansmen, Norwegian Mountain Troops and Pirate Race-Built Galleons). The rest of its roster is the standard European roster.
