Looks good! Looking forward to playing it!

there's lots of work remaining before anything enjoyable to play, but its coming along nicely.

what could be the portuguese speciality? Good ships?
E

ok here's an idea:

Portuguese
+25% ship movement
-25% stockade/fort/fortress cost
+20% building cost (hammers only) in non-coastal settlements

Spain
only half damage taken to own units when attacking indian settlement
+25% loot from indian settlements

English
+50% crosses

French
+30% less bad relations to indians (over time, when taking land, attacking etc)
+25% more converts from missions
indian scouts recruitable in settlements

Dutch
+25% profit when selling goods in europe

some unique units possibilities:
english - minuteman replaces militia. Redcoats (maybe thats tories?)
dutch - fluyt replaces caravel (strange?)
french - cheaper missioneries, voltigeur (sniper/skirmisher musketeers)
spanish - conquistadores maybe, tercio, rodelero
portugeuse - Jinite dragoons? Dont know...

portuguese settlements
São Vicente
Porto Seguro
São Paulo
Pernambuco
Salvador
Rio de Janeiro
Eleven Thousand Virgins
