Began a Portugal game yesterday, stopped sometime during the 1700s and will continue later.
So far, no bugs as I can see. Very stable and enjoyable.
One observation about the Portugal start is that there should be a coast tile connecting to the Azores. Portugal begins with 3 settlers. One is naturally used to found a second city on the european continent, one is naturally sent to Madeira (Funchal). The thrid one would be natural to send to the Azores. But since I can't send my settler onto ocean tiles it was easier sending it to Cape Town and found a city there instead, which I found a bit unhistorical and gamey.
Tech wise I think I'm a bit too early. Researching railroads in the mid 1700s, and Korea is at least 10 techs ahead of me.
The UHV seems to work alright. I've got about 900 points at this point by using ships and scouts to explore, and sending all my cargo ships to non-european cities. Arabia is a very good partner in this endevour!
