I want to see how her AI acts. We don't really have anyone truly erratic (and I want something to be as hilarious as SHIMIKACAN is).
Maria I of Portugal >> João VI of Portugal >> Pedro IV of Portugal or I of Brazil >> Pedro II of Brazil.
Brave New World family tree.
Is she going to be presented in game as Maria or Maria I?
Because seeing as how she lived before Maria II, and thus before the distinction was necessary, it would be strange to have Maria I.
Yes, yes you would - but once those are done, not only can you gain an immediate lump of gold if you brought a Nau with you (your workers need an escort!), as you can continuously build Naus to go there - assuming the city states don't destroy your Feitoria (which I hope they don't, or maybe only destroy if if they are angry with you - otherwise it'd be annoying).
Now I ask - any reason to build any more than one Feitoria at the farthest City State there is? I guess a few backups would be nice, in case of emergency, but if the farthest City States gives more everything, then why would you build anywhere else?
It is my understanding based on what I read that you can build one feitoria per city-state, and regardless of your allegiance with that city-state, you gain the luxury item of said city-state. The only thing you would need to defend your feitoria from is enemy invaders or barbarians, to my understanding.
Portugal sounds like an excellent dark-horse candidate for favorite expansion civ (ala Sweden, Netherlands in G&K). Civs that run a strong economy tend to be very powerful (Arabs, Dutch, China, etc.) and well rounded. I wonder if Portugal will get a coastal start bias? They should.
Well the feitoras also provide some of the CS resources, right? So depending on exactly how that works you might want as many as possible. That would be kinda lame if you only need one.Now I ask - any reason to build any more than one Feitoria at the farthest City State there is?

You'll also find Maria Theresa as great-great-grandmother on his mother's side.

Oh yeah, good point...not sure how I disregarded that. I guess you would have to do the old city state worker steal trick. Declare war, take the worker, get immediate peace. It might not be worth it in most circumstances to pillages single feitora's though.
She does look a bit crazy.
Where is the Portuguese gaming media with the inside scoop??!??!
Not really a specialist in Portuguese history, but judging from what people are saying, may not have been the best leader choice.
Nevertheless, I liked very much their unique unit and improvement, their ability should probably be on the same line.
