some tips on your early gameplay as Portugal: 1. The nobility privilege that gives all estates influence and loyalty is great, the agenda doesn't matter 2. Assign your light ships to protect trade in sevilla, so you can squeeze more trade money from it 3. Build your flagship with the Portuguese explorers modification, it lets you explore the new world even without exploration ideas 4. Estates Agenda is always good 5. Dont be afraid of taking loans, they will be necessary and will let catch up faster. Burgher loans are specially good (the ones you take from the estate privilege) 6. You can mothball heavy ships if you're not using them (you dont have to pay full maintenance for them) 6. Follow your mission tree, it gives great bonuses :) 7. Colonial Nations are good. But in the case of Portugal, you should prioritize Brazil and the Carribean, those are the richest areas. Also try to colonize the centers of trade first in Africa and Cape and assign them to trade companies 8. You can boost your mana production in a category if needed by clicking the button that is right in front of the advisors, it will give you +2 points on that category in exchange of -1 in the other categories

@@hotman_pt_ thanks. I am going to write this down. The flagship is expensive. Do I take out loans for it?
@@GamingwiththeColonel yes, the burgher loans might prove usefull for that, and will give you some extra money
