Hi there, 

first of all thank you for the amazing game you have created for us, however as Portuguese and history addict, I was a bit surprised you didn't had Portugal as a culture, being the pioneer of the discoveries, the earliest 'cientists' in studying the sea and creating a number of devices for seafaring, including the Caravel and the mariner's astrolabe, which were fundamental for the navigation. Also on the other hand, the strongest naval nation of their time, that pretty much obliterate the Ottoman/Mamluks supremacy in the Indian Ocean.


Therefore my idea for the future is to provide some sort of culture for the portugueses for you to study and see if it is viable to add:


Era: Early Modern

Culture: Portuguese

Affinity Trait: Merchant

Legacy Trait: +2 Money per Naval trade route, +2 Influence per Naval trade route

Emblematic Unit: Botafogo (56) (6) (4) - Details: Capital Ship | *NEW* Generates addtional resources when poaching naval trade routes

Emblematic District: Feitoria | -5 stability,  +1 faith per district,  +2 money per luxury resource, +2 Traders slot, Counts as a 'Market Quarter' and 'Religious Disctrict'

*EXTRA* Cultural Wonder: Belém Tower | (must be built in sea coastal tile) +20 Stability, +100 Fame completion, +2 Combat Strenght on Naval units, +5 money per adjacent harbor


I don't know if that makes sense, i just started playing a few weeks ago and I am still learning, however I hope you get the idea and receive it as it is, constructive feedback. I am sure many countries/cultures have their own strenghts however not all of them can say that they changed the world, quite literally. 

Thank you and keep the good work,

Hey, I would love to see Portugal in the game!
But I wonder why Botafogo has a "Capital ship" trait, yet gets additional yield from poaching trade routes, which is actually the job of smaller cruisers, which are generally called escort ships in Humankind.

Your legacy trait really resembles that of Venetians, so I'd give it a bit of intercontinental flavour by making it +2 per Naval trade route, or +3 if it crosses ocean (passes through trade post in Ocean).
Also I'd make Feitoria a replacement for Harbor (we need more unique Harbors xD). I'm not sure about faith though - did Feitoria really carry out religious duties?
