That's a shame. IMO, both the good and the bad need to be taught at school in order to understand it in the future.
The Netherlands has still some overseas territories, a couple of islands formerly known as the Dutch Antilles but the idea is that they will eventually become independent.
It is not always cool when it comes to colonial history, actually there aren't even any history lessons about it in school. There still seems to be some sort of taboo on it, the prosperity of the country during the golden age was usually at the disadvantage of those being colonized and people prefer to leave the dirtier parts of a nations history out. And for populist politicians it is always easy to point the finger at the 'colonizer' when something bad happens or the life standards are unequal, there is for example a lot of finger pointing, sometimes even hatred coming from Çuracao directed towards the Netherlands.
Couldn't agree more. But it is also politically sensitive (it fits better on your CV when you are responsible for some reforms in education, than for writing your country down as the bad guy) so I do not expect this situation to change. But history lessons are of very poor quality anyway, I recall getting lessons about the kingdom of Mali but they just skipped the whole 20th century. That is just stupid and extremely dangerous.That's a shame. IMO, both the good and the bad need to be taught at school in order to understand it in the future.
i like the idea of the Nau/Feitoria combination. It seems very historical and immersive. My only concern is that wouldn't you need to bring workers with your fleets to build those improvements in foreign city states? That could be a little wonky.
As for Maria, I'm no expert but from her wiki she doesn't seem like a great choice, it's a pretty obvious "we need more female leaders" type of thing.
Probably not, or else the improvement would be far too dependable to the amount of CS close by.
But anyways, seems like you have to border the City State. If not this ability would be far too powerfull.
I will miss Joãos hat
By the way the leader background seems to be the Algarve cliffs in the sunset and the building might be the Pena Palace, I would just replace the cliffs with the view of the Lisbon harbour with the Belem Tower, that Palace is built on a hill which can have a view of the capital and the harbour in reality.
What do you mean?

Maria I has João II's hat.
Feitorias are also powerful and, very importantly, synergize with Portugal's UA. The only thing that keeps them from being outright OP is the possibility of other civs pillaging them. This would require the other civ to declare war on the CS, but that may be worth it to harass and hinder Portugal if you are playing against them. Speaking of which, the feitoria doesn't prevent other improvements from being built on the tile, does it? If not, then there's no reason for the CS itself to remove it.
I wonder how they will figure out the feitora bonus when one are allies. getting two copies of gems doesn't help you at all,since you can't sell a resource from a cs.
In Civ IV, cultural civs were my favorite. I loved pushing borders outward and flipping cities. So far in Civ V, economic civs have been my favorite. Portugal is definitely shaping up to go on my favorites list, but now that city flipping is back, Brazil and France may change me back to my Civ IV preferences.
