The cities are mostly inaccurately placed, and Why are the Portugese in India (which was colonized by the British) and Indonesia (Colonized by Dutch) You should also put a civ in Central Asia.
India was colonized by just about everyone...Portugal was first, then Dutch, French, and English. Everyone wanted a piece of India.
Indonesia was colonized by the portuguese first too.
In other news, since when did the French colonize Florida? And you should add more furs to north america, especially Canada and Alaska. And remove the ones in Europe, so they pursue them. This would also have the Europeans rely on 'the Church' (temples, cathedrals) for order, like it was in real life
France only having four cities to start kinda makes it wimpy, especially for the position that it's in (England starts with seven, even though the pop of England was around 5 mil, while France was like 18 mil.) The port of Nantes (just north of Bordeaux) was particularly important to overseas trade. Also throwing in one more to make it six would be nice, maybe Lyons? And I'd probably just get rid of the southern two towns in Ireland. Maybe even pushing France's number of cities to seven or eight would be in order actually.
Making Dyes a unique thing to the Eastern world would add more to the game, and doing the same for wines and Saltpeter for Europe would help too.
This was also about the time that Spain founded Santa Fe in present day Arizona, it was a isolated settlement around a lot of hostile natives, you could add that in for fun.
Except for Brasil, all of the Portuguese colonies were more or less just small sections of land, not actuall country-sized places like on your map, maybe you should reduce the culture on some of portugal's eastern colonies down to like zero or at the most ten.
And the Golden Horde in southern Russia is kinda meaningless...
