The Nau ship is interesting as well. For the one game I've played as Portugal so far, I've received a max of 400 gold from the furthest delivered exotic goods. Is a maximum of 400 receivable gold the case for Portugal in every game? In my case, the map doesn't wrap and luckily I started in Portugal's real life location on a Mediterranean map.
The Feitoria, on the other hand, makes it so that one could literally garrison a troop in a CS regardless of the CS' diplomatic status. This means that the Portuguese do not need to invest themselves into an alliance with said CS while gaining a copy of their luxury resources.
And a special mention to Feitoria design; pretty rad, I think. Reminds me of a few medieval illustrations of Maltese and Cyprus strongholds (Roger Crowley!)
