The Portuguese are one of the difficult civilizations to play in Age of Empires III. The Portuguese are able to have a large colony because of the extra Covered Wagons they receive every time they advance in age.

The Portuguese also have a unique spyglass ability their Explorer can use to quickly explore the map or to spy on the enemy. Spyglass is very useful to occasionally "check up" on your opponent's progress. That way, you can know where to strike, what structures they have, and what size of a force they have.

The Portuguese also have a strong navy, light infantry, and they also possess the best Dragoons in the game. The Portuguese start off slowly due to the fact that they don't have settler cards or trickle cards, but the extra Town Centers that they can get, and the combat cards their units get in the Industrial age can make them quite powerful and difficult to beat in late game. The Portuguese generally try to get to the fortress age quickly due to the fact that they are very strong in the fortress age. If you garrison settlers in your multiple town centers, and upgrade your settlers at your Market, the town centers can be remarkably good last resort "break the tide" defense buildings. You can garrison up to 10 settlers in a town center.

The Portuguese can have 3 Explorers with a Home City Card. If the Explorers are properly upgraded at the Capitol, then they serve as very effective Infantry.

Language: They speak Portuguese.
