Non-coastal City States really should not give the "Send a Trade Route" quests to Portugal.
My first Portugal game, Small Continents map and I had the following scenario.
Ayutthaya wants a trade route, alas the city is 1 tile off the coast:
Before the era ends I declare war to get rid of the quest, I don't have any envoys there anyway. The consequences are 100 grievances against Tomyris who the Suze there, followed by a denouncement and further -8 diplo penalty for a surprise war. Whatever. 10 turns later I redeclare peace with the city state, but Tomyris will hold a grudge against me forever now, just because I wanted to get rid of the impossible quest. But ok, so be it.
New era dawns, a couple of other City States announce their new quests:
I can't go declaring wars on every other city state, can I? Not ideal for business...
