Portugal is an unplayable minor faction in Empire: Total War, unlike it's Spanish neighbour it is a constitutional monarchy.

Starting position

Portugal starts the game with 2 regions, it's home region of 'Portugal' in the European theatre and the small coastal region of Goa in the Indian theatre. It also starts with small merchant fleets that are trading sugar in the Brazil trade theatre and Ivory in the Ivory Coast trade theatre. Portugal starts with a weak army and must first upgrade the army encampment in Lisbon into a barracks before being able to recruit better units such as line infantry.

Trivia

  • Portugal is the only minor unplayable faction in the game to start with both a five-slot city and a colony, Venice & the Thirteen Colonies also begin with a five-slot city however they are confined to their home theatres.
  • Like many unplayable factions, Portugal has a fog of war glitch which prevents the player seeing their units until they are moved, this can be removed however via modding of the startpos file.
  • Portugal in Empire: Total War is a constitutional monarchy when historically the nation was an absolute monarchy up until 1820.
