Portugal's artillery is lacking, fielding only foot artillery and lacking howitzers, mortars, horse artillery, or rockets of any kind. It also lacks elite infantry of any kind. Portugal pays for all of these benefits with more expensive costs for each unit than average. Even their militia are better than average, if only slightly. Portuguese grenadiers have slightly better reloading, accuracy, and morale than average. Portuguese line infantry, simply labeled " Infantry", are above average, with most of their statistics somewhere between Prussian Musketeers and British Foot. Tiradores, Portuguese skirmishers, have the second best reloading and accuracy out of standard skirmishers (slightly behind British Rifles). Its light infantry, Cazadores, are the best light infantry in the game, tying with the formidable Prussian Fusiliers in terms of ranged capabilities while surpassing them in melee fighting. On the other hand, its infantry are generally very good. It has easily the worst cavalry in Napoleon: Total War, with only one non-general type available: the mediocre Portuguese Cavalry. While there are French forces nearby, Portugal has a strong local advantage in troop numbers. In multiplayer, Portugal is playable, with a strong starting position thanks to its bordering the ocean and its regions being home to strong allied British armies. Like Spain, it has access to both priests and guerrillos. Portugal is very passive, and rarely sends its troops past its borders. In contrast to Spanish regions, which rejoin Spain if they have rebellions, successful rebellions that happen in the traditionally Portuguese regions of Coimbra, Beira or Porto Norte do not go back to Portugal but stay under the control of the rebel faction instead.

This combination of factors make Portugal an excellent region to invade.ĭespite its initial friendliness to some Coaliton factions and hostility toward France and its allies, Portugal tends to ally with Spain as the campaign progresses it is so far removed from most other factions that it doesn't usually bother anyone else, or vice versa.īelow are a list of grievances/friendships other factions have with Portugal initially. Its starting region is also excellent, with the potential for a Market, Trading Port, and a Gold Mine. Its proximity to many trade nodes and its initial trading fleet can make it a wealthy faction. In the Europe Campaign, Portugal controls just its namesake region on the western side of the Iberian peninsula and is initially neutral in the conflict, though it has friendly relations with some of the coalition and is unfriendly toward France.
