I'm also annoyed that I get "Send us a trade route" quest from landlocked city-states.
I got that too. Open boarders with city-states is also incredibly strong and probably one the stronger aspects of Portugal.
I think the closest approximation in English would be something like zhoo-ang-oong (the "ng" like in "sing").Just out of curiosity, how is Joao supposed to be pronounced? I haven't the foggiest idea how to speak/pronounce Portuguese, so my instinct is to say "jow," but I'm sure I'm butchering it.
With regard to pronunciation, it's standard modern European Portuguese (no attempts at historical phonetics there).Is this accurate Portuguese? And what do you all think of his animations?
Indeed - I just bought 10 Shipyards over a 22 turn spell!!But otherwise it's incredible. With Diplomatic League, being the first to discover a city-States guarantee you an automatic suzerainty. The +1 Sight is gorgeous. And when you can trade, the cash will flow like Mansa Mussa!
I found this as well, which has made Portugal my favorite civ in the pass.Portugal is really Sea Mali, because like him he suffers from a difficult beginning. You're lack behind in gold since for some time you won't be able to send international trades routes.
But otherwise it's incredible.
Odd. I've been able to send trade routes to inland cities with a Harbor. In fact, I essentially had to wait for other civs to get their Harbors online before I could do much trading at all.I discovered something that seems wrong: in the video I recall them saying "you can send international trade routes only to cities on the coast or with a harbor", but clearly it's wrong, you can only send trade routes to coastal cities. Netherlands had a lot of inland cities with a harbor, and I couldn't send them trade routes. Kind of a bummer, then, since very few cities are actually coastal.

Double odd then. I'd share a screenshot but I'm at work. But I had a city near Asmterdam (like, 6 tiles away), but Amsterdam (with a harbor) wasn't shown in the possible destinations.
I'll maybe show it as a bug. Thanks for your input, it helped me see a little clearer (as well as confusing me as much, but in a different direction).
